Question / Help Issues with recording game: "Osu!"

[Kai_Kaede]

Hello,

My issue feels somewhat unique for whatever reason.

I've gone to many different threads about the preferred settings recommended for capturing game-play footage, and local recordings.

So that isn't the issue, but for whatever reason, it seems when and only when i have OBS open, or start it up, the frame-rate on Osu! dramatically lowers down, from about 250 fps to 50 fps, via the in-game frame-rate counter.

So no matter how much i played around with other settings, like the bitrate and etc, i can't seem to figure out why Osu! runs laglessly and flawless when OBS isn't on, and then just simply executing it, within the first millisecond, it becomes choppy and laggy.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Also, if anyone could share their settings with me, if you use OBS to local record your Osu! gameplay, that would be splendid.

Not enough info. post your logfile from the help menu of OBS.

Sorry. Here's one of them.

your cpu is really really bad.

even though osu isnt really demanding, but since you usually "only" have 250 fps anyway which is pretty low for osu you will suffer even more when trying to encode on your cpu while playing.

i'd suggest using ultrafast preset with a really high resolution downscale and probably around 15-20fps everything else will tear your performance apart

Yeah, you have no dedicated GPU so the OBS scaling is done on the GPU that gives you 250fps, which in turn is further stressed. At that point, your CPU is a really old dual core, which is probably at 50% with just OSU, now you are encoding at 1024x818p 60fps, is WAY to high for your setup.

reduce your down-scaling to the lowest option and change your fps to 30fps

OR

buy a new Pc for your encoding needs.
