Question / Help Really laggy video quality

Hello everyone,

When i'm recording with OBS classic the game called 'World of Tanks' I don't see any kind of lagg with regards to framerate, but when I see the file output of OBS (the actual video) I can see that the video is really laggy. So my question is: How can I improve my video quality so that it doesn't lagg in terms of frames anymore?

Here's my log:

Im sorry i am having the same problem. i used to use obs classic on windows 7, but when i updated to windows 10, the game ran smoothly (CSGO), but the video output was choppy and kept stopping. i tried using obs studio, but the same thing happened

The encoder can't keep up.

Downscale to 720p and/or lower your FPS to 30. Also, using a CRF of 5 is unnecessary and will just use more CPU without any noticeable increase in quality. Use a CRF of 15 - 20.

If changing those settings doesn't work, you might need to upgrade. I also recommend using OBS Studio since major development is now focused on OBS Studio.
