Hi guys.

When I stream runescape, I always get the High CPU usage which causes the stream to lag. When I used to use OBS Classic I would never lag. When I switch to OBS Studio I lag quite often.

Help please?

Speed test : Ping 12 - download speed - 155 - Upload speed - 12

I do have other programs while streaming. Nightbot for music, twitch alerts, Ankbot, ultimate twitch bot, and Discord.

Here is my log below

use the 64bit version of obs instead of the 32bit version

17:42:55.301: Output 'adv_stream': Number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 376 (31.5%)

You processor isn't powerful enough for the settings you are using. You have weak processor especially without a dedicated graphics card. You can try changing the preset to superfast, but i would recommend lowering resolution and/or QuickSync encoder.

Just lower your res and use quicksync you should be fine.

But if you want to buy a new laptop Get something with an i7 (something like the 6700HQ should be good) and something like a gtx 1060 or better. Obviously the more money you spend the more powerful the computer can be. Also make sure to get 16 gigs of ram.

Of course don't take my word for it, do your research and find what features you want and what specs you need for what you're doing. You can start here.
