Hey guys, so I'm trying to use OBS to record gaming on my laptop and have run into a couple of issues. I initially thought that my problems were due to poor internet but found that a number of them still persisted when offline recording. I've noticed that the last few attempts have had enormous frame drops and at time OBS has even stopped recording. I also consistently get a warning in the lower left hand corner of the OBS stating that the encoder is overloaded. Aside from being unable to fix that bit, I noticed my CPU usage was often over 50% during gameplay. I am hoping that in fixing the usage that everything else with play nicely. I have included a log that is five-minutes in length of my playing a game at the current settings as well as a screen shot of my computer details. Any help, whether it be advise or resources, would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if you need anymore information!
