I want to record a Subnautica playthrough. The game runs smoothly but the recording sometimes lags (a lot).
Here is my log.

If OBS runs less well than the game, you can try running it as administrator.
16:31:52.741: Output 'adv_file_output': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 13 (1.3%)
GPU overload. Likely due to high canvas resolution.

16:31:52.741: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 31/1004 (3.1%)
Encoder overload. Which in your case is also your GPU.
You've got a mobile GPU and you're trying to capture a widescreen resolution and you're pushing it a bit. You might reduce it if the following change doesn't resolve it. You could set it to the same as your output resolution.
Try switching to advanced output and turn this option off:
16:31:19.145: psycho_aq: true
Psycho Active Tuning. Try turning it off.
16:31:19.145: rate_control: CBR
16:31:19.145: bitrate: 25000
16:31:19.145: cqp: 20
For local recording, you should use CQP instead of CBR, which is primarily for streaming. CBR will make your files larger without any improvement in quality. While CBR is on, your CQP setting is not being respected. Set it to something between 14 (very good) and 23 (pretty good).
