Question / Help Laggy recording

[Martenj]

When I try to record Overwatch with 1080p, 60fps, my game doesn't lag but so does the final recording. I've looked at many "solutions" but none of them work. Would be really happy if someone could help me out with this.

15:23:47.013: Game DVR Background Recording: Off

Run the October 2018 Windows update and turn off Game Mode, as well as the other features (Game Bar and Game DVR). These features negatively impact OBS performance. Instructions on turning them off are in the signature.

This feature maximizes access to the GPU for games, which restricts OBS from getting the access it needs. The result is a smooth-running game and a stuttering OBS session.

I really appreciate your answer, and I think I have done everything you said, but the problem remains... I would appreciate it if you could take a look at my log and see if there's anything else I can change

OBS is being starved of resources it needs to render.

Have you capped Overwatch's framerate?
