Warning Old Version (30.1.1)

You are running an old version of OBS Studio (30.1.1). Please update to version 30.2.3 by going to Help -> Check for updates in OBS or by downloading the latest installer from the downloads page and running it.

Info Windows 11 23H2 (OK)

You are running Windows 11 23H2, which will be supported by Microsoft until November 2025.

Info Non-Default x264 Preset

A slower x264 preset than 'veryfast' is in use. It is recommended to leave this value on veryfast, as there are significant diminishing returns to setting it lower. It can also result in very poor gaming performance on the system if you're not using a 2 PC setup.

Info 1.4% CPU Encoder Overload

The encoder is skipping frames because of CPU overload. Read about General Performance and Encoding Issues.
