The past few weeks have been tough for me while using OBS. Anytime I try to record my gameplay, OBS freezes and stops responding. It is seriously making me angry and I haven't found anything that helps. I don't know what to look for in the logs, and I haven't heard any answers from anyone here or anywhere else. Please, I need help with this. Sometimes it freezes as soon as I hit "Start Recording," and other times it'll record for a while then just stop. I just tried messing with the preferred graphics processor by switching between the "High Performance NVIDIA Processor" and he integrated graphics with no luck. I tried reinstalling OBS and messing with the bitrate and other small settings. I have the log from the last time I tried recording only to be met with OBS IS NOT RESPONDING.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
