I have been having issues with OBS ever since the infamous Windows 10 AU happened. I had all my settings the exact same before this happened, the only difference was I had the FPS at 60 since I noticed I was able to stream no problem with 60 FPS without any buffering on the viewer's end. When the Anniversary Update happened, OBS Studio started having streaming/capture framerate issues.
I rolled back to the older version and the issues stopped, but for some reason I still couldn't stream at 60 FPS anymore. 30 FPS was fine still for a bit but x264 encoding was not as smooth as it was in the past. I reinstalled/clean installed OBS numerous times, remade my scenes from scratch a few times and still got the same issue. Now it seems that NVENC and QSV both are having the same problem of not being 100% smooth and they drop frames here and there after more recent OBS updates. I believe this happened around OBS Studio's 0.15 update/ 0.16 update.
I updated Windows 10 again to the Annversary version and I can stream using that update still, but get the same results.
Window capture seems to be smoother than Game or Monitor capture and I have no idea why when I've never had this issue before.
What could be the problem? I've added the log file for when I was testing recording using Window/Game/Monitor Captures.
EDIT: I'm looking over the log and I noticed it says: "23:16:08.183: Failed to initialize obs video (-4) with graphics_module='libobs-d3d11.dll', retrying with graphics_module='libobs-opengl.dll'"
