Hi,

So I was recording Black Ops 4 for a new YouTube video but it's getting a little blurry when I'm moving around. The moment I start sniping or not moving the video gets real sharp again. My specs are:
I7-7700K
Gtx 1080
16 GB RAM
Windows 10 home

These are my settings:

And my internet:

I appreciate all of your help.

Yours,
Daan

- I just ran Age of Empires with 30000 bitrate, and then even CQP of ZERO ("lossless").
- No scaling. (Set to Lanczos globally.)
- Hit Control-R to reset window capture to native resolution
- Tried NVENC and h.264
- Tried presets all the way down to veryslow (99% CPU, no bueno)
- Auto keyframe
- Even added a Sharpness filter to force it to notice the high-frequency content. (I've had luck here with YouTube's re-encoding.)

Every time. It blurs like hell whenever I scroll, and progressively gets better if I just sit here. (Over SECONDS. At 30 FPS)

Something is clearly wrong here. Attached is the clearly "not lossless" capture. The second picture is when it's not moving. (*Had to crop to get under the forum size limitations.) Same video file. Same codec settings. Motion destroys itself in Age of Empires 2.

And here's CQP=0 (lossless). With a sharpness filter at 0.85 (insane amount). Watch the high-frequency content "come back" after I sit the screen still for a couple seconds. (Keyframe is set to ONE SECOND and it lasts longer than that.)

Looks Like playing with my old broken Nvidia quadro
Did you tested a complete config reset? (Backup & Delete %appdata%/OBS-Studio/config) Always solved my issues

Edit: hmm or "%appdata%/Roaming/OBS-Studio/config" Not sure right now

That does not look like 30000 kbps AT ALL. Post a logfile and a sample of a recording.

you have "enforce streaming service encoder settings" on. Turn it off, or make the settings in the recording tab

You have got to be shitting me.

I've literally never even used a streaming service. That 100% checkbox should grey out the entire dialog if it's going to disable all those settings.

I turned that off, and lo and behold, it's magically clear now.

Wow. Well, when all the dozens of other threads pop up that complain about the blur (because of this confusing UI decision), you'll know what to recommend.

Someone point me to the relevant section of GUI code, and I'll just make a damn commit.

It doesn't disable the settings, it only limits them to values given by the selected streaming service. Because your recording quality is set to "Same as stream", it has to limit the bitrate since if you start streaming, it sends the exact same feed to the streaming service. "Same as stream" ensures you don't have multiple encoders running at once.

If you're only recording, you can use one of the presets instead of "Same as stream", or use advanced output for full control over bitrate etc.
