Hello, I haven't had these problems before when trying to record in the same settings, I am recording Minecraft and I noticed that my CPU 9 is overloading but I need help from people who know about this stuff. This started happening a few months ago after I changed recording settings but then I reverted them back to my good ones then I had this problem.

Specs:
CPU: Ryzen 7 2700x
MOBO: ASUS ROG-STRIX X470-F
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 48GB (set to 2400mhz for all of them in my BIOS)
GPU: MSI GTX 1080TI
STORAGE: 256GB SSD and 1TB HDD

Windows is out of date, and this version performs poorly with OBS. Update, manually if necessary. However this problem is a small portion of your performance issue.

19:46:40.477: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 35810/88587 (40.4%)
19:50:50.117: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 9327/57587 (16.2%)

You are attempting to record 1080p240 and you are significantly overloading your encoder. You may need to increase your CQP number if your intent is to capture 1080p240 no matter what.

1) On your sources window, use "Game capture" instead of "Display Capture";
2) Switch to "Quality" preset;
3) Follow Narcogen suggestion.

The other solution is to use x264, "Ultrafast" or "Superfast" CPU preset and CRF set to 16-23.

In any case, 1080p@240FPS is an insane load and people who know this stuff would recommend dropping recorded FPS to 60 or 120FPS and/or dropping the resolution to 720p.

You will end up with shitload full of duplicated frames. If you already are amazed by this crappy result. Recording at 60 or 120 hz while the game runs with vsync at the same framerate and doing proper interpolating in the edit will than blow your mind.
I still say there should be a sticky for that Minecraft dudes that don't know what they are doing but heard somewhere that it is good, but they got so rare that it is not worth to waste time with that anymore.
