Hi, I am recording a video for my YouTube channel, but OBS output is lagging when I complete the recording. I've tried things like running as admin and putting the process priority to above normal. Does anyone know how to fix this? Also, my computer isn't the greatest, I have an Intel i5-6500 CPU, no GPU, x64, and 16GB ram. Here is my log file: https://obsproject.com/logs/mR24C7CPKv5FubJ2

It's old for sure but it's also under performing, especially the iGPU. You have lots of rendering lag.

I checked & there is a newer driver available for your iGPU, link below. It should help increase performance & get rid of most if not all the rendering lag.

If lag persists, you may also need to disable Webroot Secure.

Also, OBS v27.2.4 is the last version that supports your hardware. You will be able to encode with your iGPU.

27.2.4 is near the bottom of the page

Here's something else. The Mic failed & never kicked in during the session.
