Question / Help Huge lag spikes when playing CS:GO

[Oliver Queen]

For some reason when I play CS:GO, and by playing CS:GO I mean opening cases for a YouTube video. I lag tremendously, 30% frame rate drop and when opening the cases as the items go by it freezes consistently.


I could really use the help.

Thanks

Im not sure how to get the log.

As for speedtest what would this have to do with anything? I am not streaming just recording to a file on my computer.

That one's from a call of duty recording.

This one might be labeled COD4 but its actually csgo

And that one only shows your webcam.

I will be honest I have no idea what I'm doing should I record some gameplay then use that log?

change your obs fps to 30 or 60
Follow https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/how-to-make-high-quality-local-recordings.12600/
then set your x264 preset to ultrafast.

Buffer 0 and set the crf command back to 23 for now
fps to 30
profile to high

in-game settings might be to high consider setting few of those lower
remove any CS:GO launch options like -threads or -high this can negatively affect game and/or stream performance or favor one over the other; its best to just remove them.

Last but not least, check your audio format in windows playback devices. (right click on the speaker by the clock) double click your speakers/headphones then go to advanced, if the audio format says 48000Hz, set OBS to that audio format, if its 44100Hz, leave OBS as it is.
