So i started a recording and i recorded for about 42 minutes and when I stopped the recording and played it back, the framerate was terrible and it was only 25 minutes long
 
That log only shows OBS starting up and shutting down, no output session at all.

If you are still running OBS from the end of the streaming or recording session, that's current log, not latest log-- latest would be the log from the previous session.

If you quit OBS after running the session and then open it again, then the session would be in the latest log (NOT the current log).
 
Log contains app startup and then ends.

12:15:27.182: Windows Version: 10.0 Build 17134 (revision: 885; 64-bit)

Windows is out of date and this version has known performance issues with OBS. You should update, manually if necessary.

13:50:50.142: Output 'simple_file_output': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 32712 (36.6%)

Rendering lag caused by GPU overload.

13:50:50.349: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 45417/45611 (99.6%)

Skipped frames due to encoding lag.

You should probably be targeting 30fps on this machine and not 60fps. Even so you may need to reduce graphical fidelity or canvas size in order to achieve smooth output.

12:15:27.182: Windows 10 Gaming Features:
12:15:27.182: Game Bar: On
12:15:27.182: Game DVR: On
12:15:27.183: Game DVR Background Recording: On


You should probably turn off all three of these as they may negatively impact OBS performance.
 
yeah, I turned off The game bar stuff after I found out that it was still on even though I thought i turned it off, and I will update Windows soon too, Thank for the help! :D
 
Would what be the same? The overload above is so bad that your chosen settings aren't close to what your machine can do. Browser games might be less resource intensive, but the above indicates you're so far off I'm not sure it matters.

You're trying to encode at a rate that needs twice the resources you have, and your frame rendering is over budget by a third.
