Question / Help OBS Causes In-Game Frame Drops When Recording Locally

Hello,

I'm currently attempting to record gameplay footage to start a YouTube channel, and am running into massive issues with the game's frame rate lagging. My computer isn't weak as far as I know (Intel i7 4790K, AMD Radeon R9 200 Series), but the issue persists even if I lower my settings in-game. The game that I'm attempting to record is Robocraft, a Steam game that uses Easy Anti-Cheat. Is anyone able to lend a hand? Here are my current settings, although I've tried many configurations (not downscaling, different bitrates, different process priorities, etc) and haven't been able to improve performance. If anything needs to be more specific, please let me know; I'm new to the world of screen capturing and really don't know what I'm talking about.

Hi, I actually began with process priority on normal and had the exact same problem. Would setting it below normal be an option, or would that be more likely to cause its own issues?
 
I have exacly same problem with my stream.
I have lags on stream and also even i record local...
trying to use 60 fps to make record more "smooth", but anyway fps drops too obivous
When u watch frame by frame in any video making program, u see that every sec (60fps) theres nearly 10-15 frames got dublicated
Tryed loooooooooots of settings, but anyway i got duplicated fps
Have 300 fps ingame and obs didnt load even single core fully while recording or streaming, so i dont think that i have hardware lack of perfomance...
Even when i try to record through NVENC i have same fps duplication, while recording through shadowplay have no fps drops or dublication.

I just have the same problem as MockRock, just trying to record locally and massive frrame drops every 2-3 minutes, regardless of what is happening in game. Process priority is at normal.
