When I try to record Overwatch with OBS, it records only the first frame of the beginning of the record. After that it has only that frame showing up but the audio can still be heard.

however, the preview stream shows what you would expect to see.

I don't need higher quality, I need to understand why it only shows the first frame while I start it and then watch it. It doesn't show anything else.

Because your scene layout is overloading your system. Straight up.
It's taking over 120ms PER FRAME to render.

You need to get the total per frame down under 33.3ms to maintain 30fps.

40fps offers no benefit over 30fps.
