Question / Help Game doesn't lag at all but stream is a slideshow especially during big fights

[damagedb]

please do help!! ive tried lowering my bitrate, lowering my resolution, using x264(usually on NVENC new), turning on one overlay at a time, i also don't use a wireless cable to stream, also updated all my drivers, and some of my friends thought it was the webcam giving me problems, but even when streaming without a cam it still becomes a big slide show. :(

You're overloading your GPU and your encoder:

20:53:49.883: Output 'adv_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 4826 (4.2%)
20:53:49.883: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 4846/113503 (4.3%)

21:25:58.567: Output 'adv_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 2360 (2.1%)
21:25:58.568: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 2362/114682 (2.1%)

thank you for the reply! i've turned off game mode, deleted every overlay and browser alert still it gets laggy. i realize it only happens when i stream apex legends, i get a very consistent 144fps in game while streaming but on the stream it's like 20fps. i've also tried streaming earlier with rust with the same overlay i usually do and my stream is perfectly fine, do you have any idea why?

Don't turn off game mode anymore. That was only necessary with older versions of Windows. The issue with game mode is fixed. Your version of Windows is not affected.

03:24:25.208: Output 'adv_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 89 (0.0%)
03:24:25.209: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 89/653485 (0.0%)

Not seeing any significant missed frames here.

00:20:39.233: - scene 'Scene':
00:20:39.236: - source: 'terr' (game_capture)
00:20:39.236: - source: 'Game Capture' (game_capture)

Don't put two game captures in the same scene. Either use separate scenes, separate scene collections, or a single game capture source that you re-configure on a per game basis. Multiple fullscreen captures in a single scene can cause interference and performance issues.

Generally, though, if you get a lot more frames in-game than in your recording it means you need to cap FPS. That would show in the logfile as rendering lag, though, and your log does not show any.
