Hi there,
I've been using the frame buffer for several months now to record Guild Wars 2 Gameplay. I haven't had any issue but in the past few days my FPS has suddenly dropped to only 1 or 2. I have no idea why this is happening as I haven't changed any settings in OBS itself or anything about my computer. I've also noticed that while this is happening my game FPS drops considerably when it did not before. I reinstalled OBS (0.656) but the problem is still there. I also moved OBS priority up to high, tried changing the recording settings and bitrate, disabling aero etc. but it hasn't made a difference. I'm also using window capture because game capture instantly crashes the game and always has.
