Recording turns into powerpoint presentation

I cannot figure out why my recording of a game turns into a PowerPoint presentation as soon as I switch from the OBS window to the game's window. To elaborate: the recording is recording fine and smooth as long as the selected window is OBS but when switching to the game's window frames are not counted per second in the recording but rather seconds are counted per frame. An example of a recording like this is my privated video on Ring of pain: video. I will attach my "video" & "output" settings as cropped screenshots. Please give me advice on what should I do. Have a nice day!

Post a logfile from a recording session at least 30 seconds in length where the problem occurred, as it requests when you open a new thread in the Support forum. We really do need it to troubleshoot, as it shows what's happening on the back end (as well as includes all of your settings, no screenshots needed).

No worries! We just need it to be able to help, is all. :)
17:20:53.736: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 44360/48002 (92.4%)
Unfortunately, as you're on x264 Ultrafast, there isn't much that can really be done... your system is being overwhelmed by the lightest-weight possible preset. Additionally, you have some rendering delay as well, so your GPU is right on the edge; AMD's AMF encoder uses rendering resources for encoding tasks (NVENC on nVidia cards does not), so swapping over to hardware encoding isn't an option.
You could try setting a lower Output Scale in Settings->Video as a hail mary, but that will result in a lower-resolution recording.

Unfortunately, the short version is that your system is unable to handle the computationally-heavy task of real-time video encoding. AMD APUs are pretty well-known for being anemic, to put it nicely. :/

so my hardware is at fault here... well at least I now know that. thank you so much! even tho problem isnt solve now I know the root of it.
