1. Using Windows Update, install any non-preview Windows updates that are available (not 11).
2. Update OBS from
https://obsproject.com/download old versions are not supported.
3. Run updated OBS as Admin. Right click on the OBS shortcut, properties, advanced, check box, ok, apply, ok.
4. Record to MKV. If you record to MP4 or MOV and the recording is interrupted, the file will be corrupted and unrecoverable.
If you require MP4 files for some other purpose like editing, remux them afterwards by selecting File > Remux Recordings in the main OBS Studio window or enable Auto remux in the Advanced Settings.
5. Uncheck the box Psycho Visual Tuning. This uses additional GPU.
6. Display and Game Capture Sources interfere with each other. Never put them in the same scene (Scén).
7. Multiple Game Capture sources are usually not needed, and can sometimes interfere with each other (Scén). You can use the same Game Capture for all your games! If you change games often, try out the hotkey mode, which lets you press a key to select your active game. If you play games in fullscreen, use 'Capture any fullscreen application' mode.
8. Cap your games at 60 FPS.
Start with that. If still having issues, post new log.
