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 an old version of OBS Studio (29.0.2). Please update to version 30.1.2 by going to Help -> Check for updates in OBS or by downloading the latest installer from the
downloads page and running it.
You are running Windows 11 22H2, which has not been supported by Microsoft since October 2024. We recommend updating to the latest Windows release to ensure continued security, functionality, and compatibility.
Your system is below minimum specs for OBS to run and is too underpowered to livestream using software encoding. Livestreams and recordings may run more smoothly if you are using a hardware encoder like QuickSync, NVENC or AMF (via Settings -> Output).
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.
You have the following third-party plugins installed:
- StreamDeckPlugin
- scale-to-sound
- source-record
- obs-ndi
