Log Analysis

View entire log file
Critical Auto-Config Wizard
The log contains an Auto-Config Wizard run. Results of this analysis are therefore inaccurate. Please post a link to a clean log file.
To make a clean log file, please follow these steps:

1) Restart OBS.
2) Start your stream/recording for about 30 seconds. Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.
3) Stop your stream/recording.
4) Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File. Send that link via this troubleshooting tool or whichever support chat you are using.
Critical 73.4% Dropped Frames
Your log contains streaming sessions with dropped frames. This can only be caused by a failure in your internet connection or your networking hardware. It is not caused by OBS. Follow the troubleshooting steps at: Dropped Frames and General Connection Issues.
Warning Old Version (31.0.3)
You are running an old version of OBS Studio (31.0.3). Please update to version 32.0.4 by going to Help -> Check for updates in OBS or by downloading the latest installer from the downloads page and running it.
Warning Windows 11 23H2 (EOL)
You are running Windows 11 23H2, which has not been supported by Microsoft since November 2025. We recommend updating to the latest Windows release to ensure continued security, functionality, and compatibility.
Warning Browser Not Accelerated
Browser hardware acceleration is currently disabled. Enabling acceleration is highly recommended due to the improvements to performance and significantly lower CPU usage for browser sources. This can be enabled in Settings -> Advanced.
Warning Mismatched Sample Rates
At least one of your audio devices has a sample rate that doesn't match the rest. This can result in audio drift over time or sound distortion. Check your audio devices in Windows settings (both Playback and Recording) and ensure the Default Format (under Advanced) is consistent. 48000 Hz is recommended.
OBS Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
CABLE-A Output (VB-Audio Cable A): 44100 Hz
CABLE Output (VB-Audio Virtual Cable): 44100 Hz
Voicemeeter Out B2 (VB-Audio Voicemeeter VAIO): 48000 Hz
Voicemeeter Input (VB-Audio Voicemeeter VAIO): 48000 Hz
Warning Capture Interference
Display and Game Capture Sources interfere with each other. Never put them in the same scene.
Info Not Admin
OBS is not running as Administrator. This can lead to OBS not being able to Game Capture certain games. If you are not running into issues, you can ignore this.
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 Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduler
The Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling ("HAGS") feature added with Windows 10 is currently known to cause performance and capture issues with OBS, games and overlay tools. If you are having issues with performance or OBS freezing, we recommend disabling it via this screen or these instructions as a troubleshooting step.
