Just so you know I am very new to OBS and am a big noob. To get that out of the way my stream video didn't show up, it kept freezing on YT gaming fr the viewers. There was only audio. So i did some research and found your estimator on your website. I typed in everything and got some good answers. It said to use Game Capture not Display Capture to reduce lag I think. Btw i only want to capture a game on the internet for example agar.io. I clicked on game capture to select a new window and clicked on the window i want to capture and clicked ok. Nothing happened not even a new sreen that was black nothing changed. I can see game capture in the sources but its not on my preview. I restarted my computer, ran the system as an admin, btw im on windows 10, tried everything youtube and other forum posts told me to do. Nothing worked. Please help and give me some tips to have non laggy game while having a non laggy stream.
Thanks

Okay, first off you don't click on a window to select it. You select which window you want to capture from the list in the window that pops up when you hit add game capture.

Next, google chrome doesn't come up in game capture, you would have to use window capture.

And fix your log, the page is not found. Ill need to see that log before I can really help you.

Ok so should I go on microsoft edge and try it then. Or I can go to window capture on chrome. I tried window capture before and it didnt work. I fixed the log and I added a file of the log.

Window capture should work for chrome. If it doesn't display capture should work fine. You probably wouldn't get insane performance improvements in chrome anyway.

You need to upload a log with a stream/recording in it. Stream or record using the settings that you are having the problem with then upload current log.

-Update OBS
-The log doesn't include the stream end so I can't see what causes frame drops. Make sure you end the stream before you upload the log.
-You have a weak CPU and no dedicated GPU. So no matter what you are probably gonna have quite a bit of trouble doing high quality.
