Question / Help Records a single frame or every few seconds a few frames

Tried it with warframe. Seems like if I record on my ship, it's fine, but only if not having the game in focus.

I tried starting to record outside the game via hotkey and then going into the game. This seems to stop it from "freezing" right away, but once a mission starts loading, it stops recording properly. I can hear recorded audio fine, but it's the same damn frame for almost a minute.

When it "unfreezes", it looks terrible quality and only records for a few seconds, then it freezes on a frame.

The best it got was freezing for 2-3 seconds every 1-2 seconds (that's 2-3 of a dupe frame and 1-2 of garbled looking footage).

Not sure what the problem is. Seems like OBS isn't getting as much resources to do it's thing or something. Do I lower the quality? Up the priority settings? Do I have to downgrade my graphics settings in game?

OK, well, I did somewhat solve the problem.

1. I set the "Process Priority Class" under Advanced to "High" and this solve the dupe frame issue.
2. I upped the bitrate from 1000 to 3000 to get the quality near full

However, it's extremely hungry for CPU or GPU so I get terrible performance. After turning down my in-game settings to lowest (kept 1080p) and it records at full speed and is only choppy because my in-game performance was choppy.

So, looks like a need a beefier CPU or GPU, unless there is some other setting I need to change?

I don't know where the log is saved and I don't see a post about where to find it. :(

Edit:
Derp. It's under help menu in the app.

Hmm. I tried with a lower bitrate and the x64 setting to the fastest possible and that seemed to work, but then my audio (headset) crashed or something. No audio at all. Had to disable and re-enable my headset to get it back.

When I got back out of the game, OBS was locked up and said it crashed. Also, the recording hangs my player. Not surprised since OBS crashed during the recording.

OK audio didn't crash this time. Still makes popping noises though. It was a bit laggy at first, but ok with it set to those settings but not the fastest (superfast was OK). Quality drops quite a bit, but that's all I can do with this CPU. Tried the priority at above normal, but it just straight up wont record right.

You can close this now, I guess.
