Info
Critical
15.2% Rendering Lag
Your GPU is maxed out and OBS can't render scenes fast enough. Running a game without vertical sync or a frame rate limiter will frequently cause performance issues with OBS because your GPU will be maxed out. OBS requires a little GPU to render your scene.
Enable Vsync or set a reasonable frame rate limit that your GPU can handle without hitting 100% usage.
If that's not enough you may also need to turn down some of the video quality options in the game. If you are experiencing issues in general while using OBS, your GPU may be overloaded for the settings you are trying to use.
Please check our guide for ideas why this may be happening, and steps you can take to correct it: GPU Overload Issues.

Warning
Old Version (26.1.1)
You are running an old version of OBS Studio (26.1.1). Please update to version 30.1.1 by going to Help -> Check for updates in OBS or by downloading the latest installer from the downloads page and running it.
Warning
Windows 10 20H2 (EOL)
You are running Windows 10 20H2, which has not been supported by Microsoft since May 2022. We recommend updating to the latest Windows release to ensure continued security, functionality, and compatibility.
Warning
Not Admin
OBS is not running as Administrator. Because of this, OBS will not be able to Game Capture certain games, and it will not be able to request a higher GPU priority for itself -- which is the likely cause of the render lag you are currently experincing. Run OBS as Administrator to help alleviate this problem.
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: 44100 Hz
Speakers (High Definition Audio Device): 44100 Hz
Line (3- Steinberg UR12 ): 44100 Hz
Microphone (Blackmagic Design): 48000 Hz
