Hi there,
while having OBS open (I don't even need to start the stream it's enough to have the program running) I experience wierd systemwide freezes. These freezes last for about 1 or 2 seconds and feel like lags, except that virtually everything running stops for a moment. Not only the game but my entire system. Imagine you're pressing the pause button on a video. That's what happens to my computer for a short time. Then everything switches back to normal as if somebody suddenly pressed "play" again. There seems to be no rule to when these freezes occur. Sometimes I have one or two in 4 hours. Sometimes it's so bad it renders my stream unenjoyable.
Initially I thought that my cpu was too weak to use obs with taxing games properly but I got suspicious when I played some simple point and click adventures and it happened there as well. As a reference I used "Heroes & Generals" for my logfile, where i have an average cpu usage of about 20%.
The Game started at 15:55 (3:55pm) and this freeze thingy happened once around 16:22 (4:22pm) (Note: those freezes don't show in this or any other logfile at the time they are happening).
I experience this issue when there is nothing else but the game and OBS open. For this logfile I had everything I normaly use running including TS3, a webcam, seperate Music and a few browsertabs. Everything run as administrator. Power saving features are disabled.
Final Note: This does not happen at any other time when im NOT using OBS. Taxing games like Rainbow Six Siege or Witcher 3 run smoothely without any problem.
