1080@30 is a bit much for default preset for your CPU. try changing the preset to superfast, buffer to 0 and quality balance to 10 that should get the best quality and not be a huge burden on your CPU.Hi. So I have been trying to create a local recording of Dark Souls 2 (if that matters). I have been tinkering with the settings but could not get a pesky frame problem to go away. It is pretty noticeable but not super big. I couldn't really find a good solution to the problem (I'm not quite sure what I'm doing). Thanks in advanced.

Yeah, next time just restart OBS to get a new log then record for 5 minutes.You have to look at the bottom of my log. Here it is (I already have those settings, this is everything I have now):

Please dont bump after just one hour.Bumping for needed help :(
yeah after you download the x86 and x64 bit of VC++ you'll need to install them from your download folder.Sorry. This is a little advanced for me and the installations are not showing up (MS VC++ thing)?
do you have 7zip or winrar? if not, you will need one of them to extract the OBS fork files to desktop (or someplace you want them. dont overwrite programfiles\OBS just put them someplace separate. once you have the extractor, download the most recent release then right click the latest binary files (either 32bit or 64bit) and put them on a folder in your desktop.So I downloaded the VC++ (x84 and x64). Then I clicked on it and selected Install. I'm not sure where to find my files or where they went. It just told me everything installed. I'm unsure on what to extract (step 2).
extract the OBS fork files to desktop .
yeah you're done with the VC++ install, now download 7zip, run the install. Then download the binaries (either 32 or 64bit) I use 64 just fine but there are a few capture cards, and other things that prefer 32bit, I'll leave that to your discression.That's my issue, I cant find the files to extract.
these are the steps I've taken:
1) clicked download on the VC++ x64 and x84
2) They've downloaded
3) click on the downloads
4) They then go through a short installation process
I'm not sure what to do after that.
Sorry for this, by the way. I know this isn't exactly a good use of your time.
standard fps are 25, 30, 45, 48, or 60fps, 22 is not one of them. with anything below 60 you really want to set GOP to double fps for the best compression/quality.Ah! My problem was that I thought the VC++ had files :P heh. Anyways, I followed the rest of the steps.
Here is a log:
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/0381384c8dc820b54d6f
I don't know if it saved in the log, but I lowered the FPS to 22, adjusting the GOP accordingly (FPS = 22, GOP = 11)
This helped my problem a lot. However, there are still frames missing in the video (although they skip less often). I'd rather not lower the FPS any more too.
try host or DX9 instead of DX11.Although it takes more time for the problem to appear, severe lag is still present every now and then.

EDIT (additional info):
I did some more testing and found that every time the video lagged, OBS would go anywhere from the set 25 FPS to 21-24 FPS. There was one very large spike in the middle of the recording that actually dropped OBS down to 1 frame, but it recovered very quickly.
Using host seemed to fix most of the frame rate drops. I think this is as optimal as it's going to get so I thank you for your time.try host or DX9 instead of DX11.
