Question / Help OBS studio freezes with different settings (SOLVED)

[Coni]

Hi, I've been trying to record with different settings and the video is good sometimes but some other it freezes. I don't know how to make it work properly.

I have no idea what is going on, but I can record with other programs but everytime I try to use OBS I have this problem.
I need to use obs tho, help :(

Log shows too many lag and skipped frames, your CPU might not be fast enough.

Try doing one or more of these:
1. Downscale output resolution.
2. Use x264 preset of SuperFast or UltraFast at some cost of quality or bigger file size.
3. Lower frames per second.

I already tried that and it's still doing it. Sometimes it gets better, but it keeps freezing specially at the beginning.

Be sure other programs isn't using too much CPU. Use task manager to check CPU usage.

Does it only frame skip after maybe a minute of recording? This might be overheating slow down throttle problem. Use a temperature monitor program like HWMonitor to check this.

There may be other possiblity, shown in this topic:

According to the log file:

23:44:29.917: Output 'simple_file_output': Number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 107 (10.5%)
23:44:29.917: Output 'simple_file_output': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 522 (52.2%)

You're getting some major rendering lag, along with a little bit of encoding lag. Your GPU and CPU in general do feel sort of weak. The rendering lag is most likely partly caused by using window capture on windows 7 -- Windows 7 has poorer capture performance in general, so use game capture if possible. Other than that, I'd also recommend some downscaling (in video settings) if you're having trouble encoding with that CPU.

Hey thanks! I changed from window capture to game capture and using the best video settings it looks amazing! Thank you!
