Hey guys and gals!
So in all honesty, I am simply at a lost here on what I'm doing wrong. I should note that I do not get an encoding overload error for every game I record with OBS, it seems that games that are made from something like Unity that I download from sites like Itch.io and even recently Steam do not work. (This also happens with other games that I find on other sites, it's usually 3D games that seem to cooperate the least). It honestly just seems weird to me, some games record without a hitch, and others are just a pain to. I know some of y'all would probably say: "Well then don't record those games," but there's been numerous games that won't work so it's fairly crucial that I figure what's wrong with it. My laptop is more than able to handle these games though as I have an I7-7700hq and GTX 1070, and I've even noticed that my CPU never came anywhere near close to 100% capacity when the encoding error popped up. I've tried almost everything I can think of to fix it: lowering stuff on OBS, removing OBS completely, updating it because I realized I was using the old version and nothing seems to be helping much. I should also note that around the 10 min mark most of the games start to freeze for some reason and the encoding overload error happens. Usually it's so unplayable that I just stop recording. This has happened numerous instances and I am so confused at this point as to what's wrong and I've had to get rid of entire recording just because of this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
