Question / Help [SOLVED] Recording gets laggy whenever minecraft GUI is open

[Viety]

Hey! So recently I just got a new computer, and decided I would want to record some gameplay. The first game I tested was Minecraft, and the recording quality is beautiful... Except for when the gui is open.

my specs are:
GeForce GTX 1070 ti
intel core i5 8400
16gb ddr4 corsair vengeance 2666mhz ram
and a 1TB ssd.

Here is the latest log: https://obsproject.com/logs/wS3IXny1zkffh6kq

please help, thanks!

Why are you recording at 240 FPS?

Why are you recording at 240 FPS?

So that when I go into my editing software and downscale the framerate to 120 fps then again to 60 fps it gives it a motionblur affect without tripling the render times. I looked through the logs myself and it said it was because of encoding lag, so I don't think that recording in 240 fps was the problem considering I get more than 240 fps in game.

Basically it looks like the encoder is bugging out, it looks like the encoder puked its guts the second you forced a "scene" change.

Lets eliminate some variables.

Hit Windows + i, goto Gaming

Turn off Game Mode
Turn off Game Bar
Turn off Capture/Game DVR

In OBS, delete your Display and Window Capture, leave only the Game Capture in your scene.

Video

base resolution: 1920x1080
output resolution: 1920x1080
downscale filter: Bilinear
fps: 240

Output - Recording

Ensure you don't have Rescale Output on.

Rate Control - CQP
QP Value - 20
Keyframe Interval - 0
Preset - High Quality
Profile - High
Level - Auto
2-Pass - Off
GPU - 0
B-Frames - 2

Test. If this works, you're good to go.

If it doesn't I'm guessing it could be the Keyframe interval, you may need to define a 1 second interval.

Yo thank you so much, it worked!
