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.
Display and Game Capture Sources interfere with each other. Never put them in the same scene.
Multiple Game Capture sources are usually not needed, and can sometimes interfere with each other. You can use the same Game Capture for all your games! If you change games often, try out the hotkey mode, which lets you press a key to select your active game. If you play games in fullscreen, use 'Capture any fullscreen application' mode.
You are running Windows 10 22H2, which will be supported by Microsoft until October 2025.
Your stream encoder is set to a video bitrate that is too low. This will lower picture quality especially in high motion scenes like fast paced games. Use the Auto-Config Wizard to adjust your settings to the optimum for your situation. It can be accessed from the Tools menu in OBS, and then just follow the on-screen directions.
Network Optimizations are enabled. This option is disabled by default. It is only suggested to enable Network Optimizations if you are having issues streaming. The setting can be toggled in Settings -> Advanced -> Network.
