Encoder overload may be related to your CPU or GPU being overloaded, depending on the encoder in question. If you are using a software encoder (x264) please see the
CPU Overload Guide. If you are using a hardware encoder (AMF, QSV/Quicksync, NVENC) please see the
GPU Overload Guide.
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. It's an experimental feature and we recommend disabling it via
this screen or
these instructions.
You are running Windows 11 24H2, which will be supported by Microsoft until October 2026.
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.
