So this issue is very bad. It's forced me to use bandicam instead, however i do prefer obs for many reasons and would wish to go back. according to my logs 84% of my frames are skipped while i was testing my recordings on roblox. i have a ryzen 3 3200g with 16gb of 3200mhz ram, just a few weeks ago i was able to record with no problems, i could record my games like valorant, hoi4, csgo etc. with stable frames ingame and a smooth recording. i will post some pictures of my settings. i have played around with them quite a lot.
I will also include my logs here:
