Slight lag in OBS recordings all of a sudden

[Azkhalon]

Hello! I have used OBS for my YouTube videos for almost three years now. All of a sudden when I opened up OBS today to record a video, my Video Capture Device source is not displaying my camera feed. I finally got it to display and now my camera feed has a slight lag to it while recording and after recording when I play it back in Windows Media Player.

I'm confused because I am using the same settings I've always used. I don't understand why things are lagging all of a sudden. I've attached my latest log file here. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

1. Audio buffering hit the maximum value. This is an indicator of very high system load, will affect stream latency, and may even cause individual audio sources to stop working. Keep an eye on CPU usage especially, and close background programs if needed.

Occasionally, this can be caused by incorrect device timestamps. Restart OBS as Admin to reset buffering.

Source affected (potential cause): Discord
2. Run OBS as Administrator. Right click on the OBS shortcut, properties, advanced, check box, ok, apply, ok.
3. Your log shows encoder overload and rendering lag. This occurs when your GPU is maxed out/overloaded. Go to the Recording Settings, set Multipass Mode to Single Pass and disable Look-ahead and Psycho Visual Tuning. Those use additional GPU.

Awesome! Thanks! I'm doing those things now.
