You need to post a FULL session log with a recording attempt.

Still no recording attempt. Attach the log rather than trying to paste the contents into the post.

 

[Redg]

I recorded for about 12 minutes

 

[Redg]

https://gist.github.com/anonymous/8cb22abc55d6057d3abed0094ff95e4a
Try this it says recording start/stop in it

 

[Harold]

The log you provided doesn't show that.

 

[Harold]

17:19:03.782: Output 'simple_file_output': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 4147 (19.3%)

17:19:03.783: ==== Recording Stop ================================================

17:19:04.147: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 6164/7741 (79.6%)

That attached log shows you straight up overloading your system.

 

[Redg]

I dont know how. is it because of some lag in the game or something?

 

[Harold]

It's because you're on an i3 laptop

 

[Redg]

Oh :( ok thanks im upgrading soon anyway so hopefully i dont have this problem anymore
