How to stop flickering when streaming when it becomes dark?

[gta5online9_official]

I've been experiencing issues when streaming when it gets too dark. (I have footage of me playing Minecraft when it happened.)

Can't show the video, so here's a google drive for that:

0. Update OBS to 30.2
1. Audio buffering hit the maximum value. This is an indicator of very high system load, will affect stream latency, and may even cause individual audio sources to stop working. Keep an eye on CPU usage especially, and close background programs if needed. Occasionally, this can be caused by incorrect device timestamps. Restart OBS to reset buffering.

Source affected (potential cause): Desktop Audio
3. Having the YUV Color range set to "Full" will cause playback issues in certain browsers and on various video platforms. Shadows, highlights and color will look off. In OBS, go to "Settings -> Advanced" and set "YUV Color Range" back to "Limited".
4. Your GPU is maxed out and OBS can't render your 2560x1080 scenes fast enough. Running a game without vertical sync or a frame rate limiter will frequently cause performance issues with OBS because your GPU will be maxed out. OBS requires a little GPU to render your scene.

Enable Vsync or set a reasonable frame rate limit (75, 60) that your GPU can handle without hitting 100% usage.

If that's not enough you may also need to turn down some of the video quality options in the game. If you are experiencing issues in general while using OBS, your GPU may be overloaded for the settings you are trying to use.

Please check our guide for ideas why this may be happening, and steps you can take to correct it: GPU Overload Issues.
5. Remove Display Capture and use Game or Window Capture. Make sure your game .exe is set to run on the High Performance GPU using these instructions. If still having issues with Game Capture, you may need to run OBS as Admin.
6. The encoder is skipping frames because of CPU overload. I would advise trying to use a hardware encoder, lowering output FPS and resolution (see below) and not using Display Capture to capture games.
7. Almost all modern streaming services and video platforms, such as Twitch, expect video in 16:9 aspect ratio. OBS is currently configured to record in an aspect ratio that differs from that. You (or your viewers) will see black bars during playback. Go to Settings -> Video and change your Canvas Resolution to one that is 16:9 such as 1920x1080.
