Whenever I stop a recording it says "Stopping Recording..." and it never stops. If I force stop it the recording cuts down to half of what it was and it becomes all frozen and theres no actual footage. Any fixes?

As I said, if I force it to stop recording it corrupts the recording.
I will provide the log of when I last attempted to record.
Here is a upload of what the recordings look like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Uqh-_cLx9s&feature=youtu.be
Yes, I understand I'm on a downgraded version of OBS, but that is because it was happening on the latest version too and I wanted to see if downgrading would help.

Code:
01:05:05.447: Output 'simple_file_output': Number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 230800 (118.3%)
01:05:05.447: Output 'simple_file_output': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 128891 (55.8%)Your system is overloaded. Looks like you're trying to play this in a Windows virtual machine on a Mac? That would explain the performance problems. VMs have no access to GPU hardware, in most cases, and use emulation.
Also: Record to FLV or MKV. If you record to MP4 and the recording is interrupted, the file will be corrupted and unrecoverable. If you require MP4 files for some other purpose like editing, remux them afterwards by selecting File > Remux Recordings in the main OBS Studio window.

I'm unable to play the game I want to on a regular Mac because it just stopped working on my Mac. The only way I can play it is on the VM. I've been able to record on it in the past with little to no problem, is there anyway I can sotp it from overloading?

I don't know why this is a problem becasue I've been able to record just fine in the past in a VM.

I'm honestly shocked it ever worked in the first place. If it did, I don't know how you configured the VM, but this is unfortunately a bit outside the scope of what we can realistically help with. OBS itself is working as expected, but your VM is having significant performance issues causing the recordings to fail to record properly.
