Question / Help obs dropping a lot of frames (9.0% frame dropping)

Hello. I'm trying to record my osu! gameplay, but when I record, it freezes on a frame for about a second, continues to play normally for again, a second--and then repeats.

I have no clue why this is happening, and I'm genuinely concerned. The issue is, this has never happened before. One day, I just opened OBS, and it became a consistent issue. Before this, OBS started recording in "slow motion" for no reason, too. I'm at a loss, can anyone help me please?

None of the solutions I've discovered has solved my answer. Therefore, I had made my own post.

EDIT #1: Okay, so I ended up capping the game's FPS to 60. No extreme frame drops, but now the video is shown to slow down at some times. Matter of fact, the video is always slow! What do I do now?


Update: When recording, sometimes the game just.. stutters/freezes for about a quarter/half of a second. It really bugs me.
Also, OBS makes my input latency spike when I try to live play. It just likes to make my game lag alot--only on osu!, though.
Games like Stardew Valley are fine, which is odd (I know, apples to oranges), because I run SV at a similar framerate that I do osu!, both staying at a stable 60fps.
Also, when playing games like Stardew Valley, at random times my game tends to just slow down as I'm playing, and it's only when I'm recording/streaming. I feel like this is something with my hardware (even though it recorded and streamed SV/osu! at a good quality/speed consistently?) :thinking:

I'm not an expert, but disable

18:11:43.514: Game Bar: On
18:11:43.514: Game DVR: On

and disable Windows game mode as well.

And update OBS to new version 23. Your Windows needs an update too!

Post new logfile of recoding/streaming.

I'm sorry for the late response! I'll go ahead and do this right now.

And, it appears that I can't turn off Game Bar and Game DVR, for some reason. The option just isn't there, how odd.

Logs #2 are in the main post + a second report.
