Critical 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. It's an experimental feature and we recommend disabling it via this screen or these instructions.
Warning Old Version (29.0.2)
You are running an old version of OBS Studio (29.0.2). Please update to version 30.0.2 by going to Help -> Check for updates in OBS or by downloading the latest installer from the downloads page and running it.

Often wireless connections are fine, but if you have problems, the first troubleshooting step would be to switch to wired. We highly recommend streaming on wired connections.
