Video freezes about an hour into recording VOD

[AutumnMint]

I hosted a local Rivals 2 tournament yesterday and recorded the whole thing instead of streaming because the internet at the venue was spotty at best. However, when reviewing the VOD, it begins stuttering around 1:02:30, and from then it only gets worse (at points not updating the image for minutes at a time). The audio is just fine. Remuxing the recording did nothing. I'm attaching the logfile of that session - it says around that time that "[game-capture: 'Rivals 2'] capture window no longer exists, terminating capture" but I'm not sure what that is, why it happened, or how to make that not happen in the future

Yes you were overloading your encoder pretty badly

18:28:33.253: ==== Recording Stop ================================================
18:28:33.254: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 559066/803897 (69.5%)

I would recommend never using the "P7" preset and instead maxing out at P5.

Awesome, I'll change that :) any other settings I should change or keep an eye on?

That is all that sticks out immediately but basically you were just pushing your hardware too much. If you continue to have issues I'd recommend capping in-game FPS to 60, lowering in-game settings, etc....really anything to decrease your GPU strain.

Yeah, I've been running it at 144fps because my screen allows it, but I might just cap it since the game's logic runs at 60fps anyways. Thank you so much!
