Question / Help OBS lags but not game or any other application.

[Riggobernation]

As stated in the title, OBS lags but not game. I have put the processing priority on high hoping it will fix it but no... I have no idea on how to explain but when re-watching my stream there are slight hiccups as if I lag in game but I am not lagging, I'm running fine with no freezing and stuttering. Also there is a time where I would start my game and my whole OBS while just lag and be at 2fps a second and I would have to close my game and open it again, in order for to fix itself. My Processor sits at good 80% with the game running and all, with spikes to 90's maybe 100% but only for brief seconds and never when I play just when I initially start a program of course but all that is self explanatory.
I have my webcam, another video device for a program named facerig (I can actually deactivate and see if that makes a difference instead of un-checking), My twitch chat w/ CLR browser, Twitch Alerts w/ CLR Browser, follows, donators and etc with text files, an overlay, and then all 3 captures.
Could It be because I have all 3 captures? It will be really inconvenient to have to keep adding it every time I want to switch to it.

As far as I can tell you appear to be getting very minor encoding lag, about 0.5%, which usually means there was some CPU usage issue at some point. That was probably what was happening. Just my initial assessment though.

What can I do about it? I'm sure you saw my specs, I never had a problem with it until recently... I don't run anything too heavy in the background, As far as I'm aware my CPU doesn't max out all the time, I'm guessing there's one program that causes spikes and I need to determine that myself, am I right?

Im having this issuse on both the regular and multiplatform version. All of OBS will freeze while streaming and transmit the freeze, but mu audio will be fine and on my end nothing else freezes. So its related to encoding lag?
