It was working perfectly fine until today and the recorded video went to trash.

Hi there, I have been recording Dota 2 replay videos for a month or so now. The first time I installed OBS, I used the auto-configuration wizard, I did not do much of settings back then and the quality of the recorded video came out fine. Until today, when I did the usual steps like before, the recorded video just went to trash, laggy and choppy, I swear I did not touch the settings in the OBS. Can someone help me please? I just want things to go back to before. Also, your attach file button is not working now. I have to paste the whole log file below.

Looks like all of your encode frames were lagged for some reason, that's quite unusual with NVENC. Try running OBS as admin to allocate GPU priority better.

Is there any step for the mentioned method? I am the only one who are using this laptop. It was totally fine the day before but today it became problematic.
 
you can run obs as administrator by right-clicking it in the search (when you search for OBS) and clicking "run as administrator". this basically allows OBS to give itself higher priority (more resources) when recording.
