You're alt+tabbing out of your game to check on OBS aren't you?

(and I'm ignoring the really bad processor for now)

 

[sander23]

yes i do
is this bad?

 

[Harold]

With the game running fullscreen, it stops rendering and stops being captured when you tab out and the game minimizes.

 

[sander23]

so if i dont do that i will see somting on my video?

 

[Harold]

you should based on what the log showed, yes.

 

[sander23]

i will try it

 

[sander23]

i see somting now but when i start driving the video freezes

 

[Harold]

That would be your low-grade processor showing its true capabilities (not that much)

 

[sander23]

what do i need to change?

 

[dping]

20:32:33: Number of frames skipped due to encoder lag: 2481 (96.80%)

They were WAY to high for a low end CPU.

downscale more to 480p 30fps.

 

[sander23]

where can i change that?

ok, please restart your OBS so you can create a new log file. then record or stream for 5 minutes or more then resubmit that current log.

your log is getting so long that I'm having a hard time reading though it.

Output resolution: 1536x864

downscale this to x480p its about half of the resolution you are using now.

22:27:10: Total frames encoded: 7623, total frames duplicated: 6470 (84.87%)
22:27:10: Number of frames skipped due to encoder lag: 6451 (84.63%)

encoder thread frame - [100%] [avg time: 29.895 ms]

your CPU cannot take your high resolution.


if you are recording only, I can help you bring that up a little, if you are streaming, 480p is about the most you can use.


change that in your video tab of settings then restart and post another log like you did before.

If you read above there is an unedited line telling you where to find the downscaling.
