OBS is recording a frame per minuet in full screen mode.

[Just_Azz]

I'm a new user to OBS and when I used it for the first time just now, I recorded Minecraft. I had Spotify playing in the background and the audio was completely clear and perfect, and I was playing the game as usual. When I played it back, I found that in full-screen mode it was 1 frame per minute and out of full screen mode, it was 1080p 60fps. Why is this happening??? I lost an hour of footage to this.

Hi Just, welcome aboard at the forum!
As you said, you're new user to OBS. First thing to learn is: Try and make test recordings for your setup before loosing any kind of footage/content you may miss later. This is groundstanding practise for every technique used in the world by professionals. =D

And now:

Please post a log with your issue! Here's how...

OBS Studio creates a log file each time you run it which contains very useful diagnostic information. Without a log file, it's much harder for any support volunteers to figure out problems and your post may be ignored. To upload a log file, go to the Help menu > Log Files > Upload Last Log...

so that - possibly - we may help you out.

Thanks! I will take a look at that.

At least your last recording attempt doesn't look that bad:
"05:26:36.704: Output 'simple_file_output': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 224 (0.4%)"

That was the lengthy one (half an hour, i think). All before was just too short.
This try was 1080p30, which seems to be good.

Try game-capture instead of screen-capture!
Encoding profile you should set "main" instead of "high",

and your main cpu has to do all the stuff, as far as i can see. Try to start OBS with administrative privileges and see if it gets more priority this way.
Then try to set all your sound devices at 48k for defaults (in windows). If you don't know how to do that, set obs to 44.1k instead. (settings->audio) Hint: All sound devices should run at the same samplerate.

If still problems:
Make _one_ recording then for a couple of minutes in one obs session, stop the recording and shutdown obs. Then reopen obs and do upload the log file of the recording session ("last log"). Then the log should be complete and contain timing metrics as well.
