Hi, I read the sticky but am still having issues. Before I updated to windows 10 I am pretty sure I could stream and record just fine and the game I was streaming/recording was Rainbow Six Siege. Everytime I try to watch the video after uploading/completing my recording it will play in some parts for a tiny bit but then will start freezing up.

My PC isn't top of the line or anything but it should be able to do this.. I put the video bitrate down to 1500, the resolution to 720p and the FPS to 30 but it still complains so I tried only just recording and not streaming and it's still giving me the same issue.. in case it matters these are my specs:

720p 30fps x264 very fast and skipping 47% frames due to encoder overload sounds strange.
Can you pin point down, the amount of CPU load, that the game is causing and that OBS is causing?

What I find strange is, the log shows, your Webcam multiple times (Video Capture Device 2, Video Capture Device 3, Video Capture Device 4), I dunno if this is normal.
Sources are global, so you just insert the webcam yource one time and if you want to add that webcam into other scenes, you can copy+paste the source between scenes, or choose insert video device and then pick the already listed device (webcam).

I'm not sure what you mean by "pin point the CPU load"

As for multiple webcams I do have webcams set up for different things but I usually deactivate them as I can't even use my webcam till I deactivate the other one anyway, but that's good to know(about being able to copy and paste a source) so I deleted my other sources.


As I mentioned I tried another game and it worked fine. This game might be just super demanding idk.

Here's my CPU and tasks:

It's still complaining about encoding being overloaded.

With pin point down the CPU load, I meant checking the details in taskmanager to see which process is causing what amount of CPU load, but as you already said, this game might just be more CPU demanding than other and with an i5 and only 4 cores/threads, encoding with x264 gets very tough, while gaming.

well I sent images while playing so you can look at those if you want. The only thing is iv'e managed to record footage of this game in the past just fine, so I have no idea why it's just deciding to do this now. I did update to windows 10 recently but I don't know if that would have anything to do with it or not.
