Very laggy recordings with x264 encoder

Hello,

I am recording Minecraft in OBS studio using the x264 encoder.
Recently when recording videos, the video file would be extremely laggy when playing the video in the windows media player, or importing it into my editing software, ranging about 1 frame every two seconds.
I recently switched from the H.264 because it wouldn't record anything. If you could help, I'd very much appreciate it.

Thanks

Unfortunatley, I am not able to provide a log file for another few hours
 
1. Install newest version of OBS from https://obsproject.com/download
2. Your Laptop has two GPUs. OBS is running on the weak integrated Intel GPU. For better performance as well as game capture (Display Capture is the last resort) being available you should run OBS on the dedicated GPU. Check the Laptop Troubleshooting Guide. If having issues with Minecraft see https://obsproject.com/wiki/Minecraft-Not-Working-With-Game-Capture )
3. Run OBS as Admin. Right click on shortcut, properties, advanced, check box, ok, apply, ok.
4. Lower your OBS frame to 30 and cap Minecraft at 60 FPS.
5. Lower your Ouput Resolution. See list here https://pacoup.com/2011/06/12/list-of-true-169-resolutions/ . Use the Divisible by 8 ones. Start with 896x504 and go from there.
6. Record to MKV of FLV. 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.

Have you tried just using QuickSync Encoder and having Minecraft use Intel GPU with Game Capture?

With the game capture, it just shows black, even when I switch to the high performance GPU
