Question / Help Video is laggy

[Scottish]

The game itself runs fine but the preview and recording on OBS studio is constantly freezing. I've already tried lowering bitrate and lowered recording quality. I'm also completely new to screen capturing and don't really know what I'm doing.

Need a logfile with an actual output session. This one contains only the auto-configuration tests.

Open OBS. Start a recording session. Observe your issue for awhile. Close the output session. Then upload the Current log before quitting OBS.

You have a capture device that seems to be generating a large number of errors, and this may be affecting your performance.

Is the only way to fix this is to get a new capture card?

I unplugged the device and set it back up again and now it isn't as laggy but it is still slow

I don't know. I'm not familiar with this particular device or why it is generating those errors. The device may be failing or you may have selected a combination of settings for it (frame size, frame rate, etc) that it does not work well with, or it's possible the device needs more bandwidth/system resources than it is getting.
