Question / Help Recordings are very very choppy but actual game isn't, NEED HELP ASAP!

[TazerWasHere]

So, i just upgraded to Windows 10 3 days ago and my recordings are very very very laggy. When i'm recording, the game runs at a perfect 60fps but when i preview the recording, the recording is at 10-20 fps. What is going on? PLEASE HELP ASAP.

Same or similar problem here.

My videos don't seem to be in 10-20 fps, it's just the video quality that seems to have suddenly become very crappy.

I hadn't recorded anything in a few days and yesterday I played some Minecraft. I watched the video later and it was all blurry and fuzzy. I thought it was something wrong with this specific game, but now I just tried another game that I have been recording all the times before, and it also looks blurry and fuzzy as hell.

I don't know what it is, my settings are the same, even though I'm trying to play around with some of them to see if it can be improved.

EDIT: I'm going to post a log and a video of it in a few minutes.

EDIT 2: here's the stuff

Log: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/2540927924fe1b5f8cff2b1eb5561b54 (the very last recording is of the video linked below)

Here's how it looks when it's fuzzy and blurry: https://youtu.be/uFJLeBk4EfQ

Here's how the same gameplay looks normally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1zBJeOR8xo&list=PLB9DaJSVSWzHejDI4gGeBamMHHK-1e9Xf

I saw the video that you claimed to be blurry and fuzzy. Are you downscaling the video? If you are, i recommend you just play the game at the resolution you want to record at or try using Lancoz filter unless you already are using it.

As for my problem. In Windows 10, the final recording is very very laggy, barely watchable, but when i was playing the game, i was getting a clear 60 fps.

Thanks for checking it out and replying.

Am I downscaling the video? I guess not, I'm playing and recording at 1920x1080 and I don't think I changed any of my settings, although at the same time I've recently started messing with them to experiment and try to fix the problem.

Where would I check if I am downscaling?

I'm looking at Settings > Video > Downscaling Filter. Is this what you're talking about, or some other settings, like resoultions?
I've got Downscaling Filter set to Bicubic, but I think this is also what it was set to before. I'm gonna try now Lanczos and see if it's better.
(UPDATE: I just tried with Lanczos sharpened scaling, 32 samples, and it's still blurry, and adds a little bit of lag maybe).

As for your lagging, I know what you're talking about. I didn't have that problem but as I experimented with different encoder presets and set them lower and lower I saw that lagging too. But in that case it was because I was selecting something more demanding, so I don't think it's the same issue as you.

Yeah. Hope you get your issue resolved.
