You need to:

  1. Open OBS
  2. Begin streaming or recording
  3. Observe your issue or problem
  4. Stop the output session
  5. Upload the Current log before quitting OBS
If you mistakenly quit OBS, when relaunching it upload the Last log.

Some of these logs have no output session. Others have a session start, but doesn't stop, meaning there isn't complete performance data.

That said, encoding errors using the AMF encoder usually mean GPU overload.

Unlike NVENC, AMF encoding is not "free" and if the card is overloaded, it affects encoding.

That log's output session is incomplete. Streaming starts, but does not stop, so there's no log of the incidence or cause for overload.

However, from what is there, if you're getting an encoding overload message trying to do veryfast x264 at 720p60, then either something else is loading your CPU, or you need to target a lower frame rate. StreamElements is also likely using some CPU resources as well.

Your build of Windows is quite out of date. Not sure if that affects your issue at all.

14:30:10.531: Windows Version: 10.0 Build 10586 (revision: 494; 64-bit)

This Windows version is from 2015. The current build is 18363.

It is veryfast x264 at 720p60

Then you either need to lower CPU load from other applications, go to a faster preset, or change frame size / frame rate to lower load.
