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 (27.2.4). Please update to version 30.2.3 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 10 21H1, which has not been supported by Microsoft since December 2022. We recommend updating to the latest Windows release to ensure continued security, functionality, and compatibility.
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.
In Windows 10 versions 1809 and newer, we recommend that "Game Mode" be enabled for maximum gaming performance. Game Mode can be enabled via the Windows 10 "Settings" app, under Gaming >
Game Mode.
