I have re installed obs after a long time of not having to use it and decided to do a test recording. i wasnt in any games or anything all i had was firefox, task manager and obs open. when i looked back on the recording it was really laggy and buggy which wouldnt be suitable at all for when i decide to stream or record properly. ive looked at other posts with similar questions but nothing works. i have attached the log file, any suggestions?
video is laggy/buggy when looking back on a recording

Your GPU is maxed out and OBS can't render scenes fast enough. Running a game without vertical sync or a frame rate limiter will frequently cause performance issues with OBS because your GPU will be maxed out. OBS requires a little GPU to render your scene.
Enable Vsync or set a reasonable frame rate limit that your GPU can handle without hitting 100% usage.
If that's not enough you may also need to turn down some of the video quality options in the game. If you are experiencing issues in general while using OBS, your GPU may be overloaded for the settings you are trying to use.
Please check our guide for ideas why this may be happening, and steps you can take to correct it: GPU Overload Issues.

The game looks fine when you play, but laggy in the recording? I had this issue with Cyberpunk 2077. Some games REALLY don't like when you're trying to caputre them with a "Game capture" source. Try using "Display capture" instead.
hello there, when i was recording my gpu usage on task manager never really went above 15 percent as i wasnt testing with any games yet so im not sure. i also tried youre other suggestion but it didnt seem to work. any other suggestions?
also, here is the log file that generated after i re recorded with the suggestions you gave. the analyzer now just gives me information saying that im on a windows version thatll be supported until june
hey there, im already using display capture and when i was testing it wasnt even with any games open. i just had firefox and task manager so im really not sure what the issue could be. thanks for trying to help! if you have any other suggestions please let me know
hey there, its not letting me watch the saved recording anymore as its telling me to buy hevc video extensions. its pretty cheap but id rather not have to pay. is there any way to get this for free or any other solution?
hey again, i downloaded vlc player and used that and it worked perfectly. recordings are no longer buggy or laggy so thank you for all the help
