OBS keeps crashing when I play games and stream at the same time.

Hello, I recently got a new pc and noticed that when I play certain games my game lags for a bit and ultimately crashes after I have played for a few seconds. Before it was when I was playing games from Steam but now it is even doing the same thing with other games.

How's your system load during all of that?
Use the OS's report, not from OBS. You want the total, and OBS only knows about itself.

If you're at 100% at any time, then *something* must lag behind. The effects of that could be anything, from a glitchy stream to a complete crash.

Also, run your log through our automated Analyzer (link in my signature), and see what it comes up with. It's made to catch the most common issues and offer the solutions that most commonly work.
