Question / Help Lag in recordings and a bit blurry

Ok so I really really REALLY want to record videos of my game to Youtube(its been a dream for 3 years now,not successful yet :( .....).
I get quite a bit of lag and the recording is a bit blurry
I havent been able to fix this yet and have gone through *tonnes* of tutorials.
My PC is a Dell Inspiron 15 series 3000 with Windows 8.1 installed on it and it is x64 bit
Im not sure which details you need so heres a link to the specs(scroll down for the specifics): https://laptoping.com/specs/product/dell-inspiron-15-3000-3542/

Heres the log from my obs program(its the latest ver. I got it from the obs original website 2-3 days ago) : https://hastebin.com/ukunijevid
About the game, its called YGOpro percy 1.034.0 if you want to see it (its one of the lightest games ever,trust me)
My settings are as follows(if you want to see the "general" settings then just let me know,I just think it's unnecessary):-
Replay Buffer is OFF

Guys help me out

Don't use 29.97 FPS, use 30 FPS. Switch OBS back to Simple Output mode (Settings > Output > Output Mode), and follow the instructions in this guide under "Simple High Quality Settings". You have no audio because you've disabled all of your audio devices, or you never enabled any (you can see this in your third screenshot). You need to enable the audio devices that you want to hear.

As an aside, I don't think your Windows 8.1 install is up to date.
 
Ok Ive followed those settings and now I get no lag and the audio problem is fixed.The only thing that remains is that I still have blurry text in my game while recording.Heres a before and after of my program(look at the left side of the screen at the description box under the card)

Another minor thing is that while recording my mouse icon is showing.I want it to be hidden in my recordings.Does obs have this feature?
 
There's no need to ping the thread multiple times in a 24 hour period. Anyone helping here is volunteering their time, and we need to eat, sleep, and take care of other things too.

Please post a new log so we can see your new settings.

You can disable mouse cursor capture in any window capture or game capture source by unchecking the "Capture Cursor" option.
 
I just pinged it twice.Not multiple times.I know that,I was bumping the thread so it stays in the top threads so people would see it.

Will create a new thread as this one is getting old now

Thanks for that,i got it checked now
 
You posted, and then pinged twice, in less than 24 hours. That's why I said "multiple". I should have been more specific and said that there was no need to bump your thread less than 24 hours after your last post.

There's not really any reason to create a new thread for the same case. All that will do is make it harder for helpers to see the whole picture and see the history of the issue.
