Question / Help Warning taking too long to encode, skipping frames

[Afflictedtran]

So I switched from monitor to window capture, enabled aero, lowered my resolution, and changed the x264 preset back to very fast but I am still getting this error. Also when I use the analyzer, its still telling me that aero is disabled and that I need to enable it again.

I've attached the most recent log file

my settings:

When I stream league of legends, once I get in game, the recording would freeze about 5 seconds in and stays on that frame throughout the remainder of the stream session

having same problem here. game will constantly have frame drops and makes it impossible to stream.

11:08:09: Total frames encoded: 1396, total frames duplicated: 310 (22.21%)
11:08:09: Number of frames skipped due to encoder lag: 6 (0.43%)
11:08:09: Total frames rendered: 1299, number of late frames: 75 (5.77%) (it's okay for some frames to be late)

These are the important lines, they indicate that your hardware cannot keep up with your chosen resolution/FPS settings. You will need to downscale further and/or reduce FPS.

I just lowered the resolution to the lowest it can go and turned to 10 fps. Even changed the max bitrate down to 2000kbs.

Still getting the error. I was able to stream fine before the recent update

Welcome to the land of dual core processors.

The reason you weren't getting the error before is because the error didn't exist. You were still having the problem before, but OBS wasn't telling you about it.

It would need a much longer preview/broadcast test to really know for sure, as only 6 frames were skipped, it wasn't at all a significant amount.
