Basically, I can run osu! at 240fps normally, no problem. Turn on OBS, even the preview drops it to 10-30fps.
I've fiddled around with the settings but could really use some help.
I've also tried Classic and it seems to have the same issue.

An older laptop of mine (6ish years old) managed osu! and OBS at 60fps so I'm not sure why this one is having trouble.

Hi,

The log has some info its showing "Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 4 (0.1%)", s your running x264 software encoding drop the preset to ultrafast from veryfast and see how that goes.

I changed it to ultrafast (logs here) and there was no noticeable difference.

EDIT: Switch osu! from using integrated graphics to the 960M. OBS now only drops it about 80fps, but I get 7ms input delay in-game (which isn't good). This is gonna be tough to figure out...

EDIT: Mostly solved. Turns out to be a problem with OpenGL and fullscreen shenanigans or something. Just switched osu! off fullscreen and I'm getting pretty good fps and low input delay.

EDIT (again): To clarify for anyone who might have the same problem as me: switch osu! to windowed mode, and use the graphics card instead of the integrated graphics.

And for an add you have to have obs on integrated graphics. I tried with obs and osu with my own dedicated graphics and it didn't work. Osu need to be on dedicated and obs on integrated
