Question / Help Game and preview running fine, video/stream stuttering like crazy.

[FrancoND]

I'm playig Dead Island: Riptide. My game is running ~60fps. While I'm recording with OBS and looking at the preview of the video, it looks perfectly fine with no frame drops. However, when I watch the video it has massive frame drops. While recording/streaming, my CPU is running at ~40%. Any suggestions?

All of my logs are from 6 months ago, I don't think they would be relevant to the problem.

A new log is automatically generated every time you launch obs.

Ok, I found it. I guess I was reading an old post or something for OBS Classic? Here is the log. https://gist.github.com/592cfa77fe5397d0174c6faf5dc7d318

Change the elgato audio type back to capture only from waveout.

This game is on PC, it has nothing to do with the Elgato.

The elgato software still interferes when set to waveout.
