Question / Help OBS Studio Losing Frames and Increasing CPU Usage Over Time

[TheRevLetsPlays]

Regardless if I'm streaming or recording (or doing neither) when I give OBS a fresh start it will record itself capturing 60 frames at roughly 6% CPU usage. For the first bit of the duration of a stream it will remain so, until FPS will start dropping to nearly 19 and CPU usage hits 14%. If I end the stream, it will remain capturing at this FPS, despite me not actually streaming or recording.

Might also be worth it to note that reducing the framerate does nothing. The framerate will remain low unless I reduce it to lower than it already is.

Bump, still haven't found a solution

Solution was that webcam runs at 1080p by default. Once changing that I had no further problems.

No longer solved. The issue is occurring again without the previous solution aiding at all.

Update your OBS Studio to the current version.

13:33:52.867: OBS 19.0.3 (64bit, windows)

It has happened again, on the latest version. This post is very old. I'll get a new log up soon, but it seems it occurs when playing around with scenes. CPU usage stays below 4%, and as soon as I start swapping scenes, mostly to screen capture, it will start at 4% and slowly increase to 15% over the course of about 15 minutes, then the FPS OBS is capturing will drop to as low as 10.
