Bug Report OBS using a 3x higher bitrate than set

Whenever I play CS:GO OBS bitrate goes up by an insane amount. 3x more than I've set up in the settings. This only happens if I use window capture when playing the game in windowed mode.

I can stream other games perfectly fine so far. It's only with CS:GO that I have this issue.

Some variance in the bitrate is to be expected but 300% of what you specified? Did you try enabling CBR instead? Just to avoid too much variance. The overall quality would drop mildly but the bitrate would be more stable.
