This is a huge tip. I bet this is my main issue brother. I noticed when I switched to two monitors my game tried to display on both screens essentially and I barely could hit 60fps, set second monitor as a whole different entity and boom back up to locked 120fps.

So I was experimenting with streaming from OBS and shadow play, OBS gives alot of dropped frames and stream is lagging every 3-4secs, the network seems good and game runs smoothly, then when I tried shadow play, the problem was gone completely, stream runs so smooth and no dropped frames what so ever, I'm so confused

[@Snappy.Snappy.Snappy]

Same, and it also looks static. Please help me if you've found a way to stop it

[@MisterTheRobot]

I hope this wont make me lag playing like tryharder in video games hmmmm

[@MrHaxor96]

But this is more likely to make the game or software you are recording lag.

[@Starix_Gaming]

If this makes your game/software lag try lowering the bitrate, or other quality settings in OBS. Process priority is great because it prevents computer load on unnecessary programs running in the background. If you’re lagging with Above Normal there is an underlying issue with computer, OBS, or game settings, the process priority isn’t the cause. Plus, some computers simply can’t handle to stream some games at a good frame rate, it’s the unfortunate truth. I’ve been streaming with Above Normal, it’s really worth it if it makes the stream viewing experience better, to sacrifice some FPS in your game for example.

[@FardeenRoblox]

It wont for me most prob since if im recording at 60 fps and my game runs 300 fps.. a little fps drop wont do anything

[@Starix_Gaming]

First off try to see if you can lower any in game settings without making your gaming experience too bad. You could also try lowering quality settings slightly on OBS, but don’t go with the lowest ones. May I ask what bitrate you are using for recording?

[@JLGamer2000]

This just made my problem w9rse

[@andreamartano1563]

Hi man, you really know this stuff well, my main problem is with WARZONE, even if the fps are still good (100-120 while streaming) my gameplay stutters, is not a problem for my viewers but I can’t play well with that amount of micro stutters. What can I do??? P.s. I stream on a very good laptop (12700h-rtx3080ti-32gb ddr5 ram) so I don’t think hardware is the problem

[@KamikazeCash123]

Theres no process priority option

[@JayplayPL]

yea but it will lag my computer so much that is unplayble

[@Starix_Gaming]

If this is the case you need to keep it at normal and try to lower lag through other settings. Have you drivers up-to-date, see what bitrate is best for your pc, lower in-game graphics settings if you game, run OBS as administrator, so many things you can do to reduce load on the computer. I have a playlist on my channel about it as well called “Lag Less on OBS Studio”. Hope it will sort out, and let me know if you have any questions :)

[@esteBAM979]

What the difference between this and running obs as administrator? Isn't it essentially the same thing

[@Starix_Gaming]

Admin gives extra system permissions for obs to run as it’s supposed to, while a higher process priority will put more computer power to obs instead of other programs. Try doing both if necessary! 💯

[@officialch3rry]

i use 2500 bitrate and have a gt1030 with i511400f what do you recommend

[@Starix_Gaming]

Definitely try above normal. What internet speed do you have in mbps? You might be able to increase the bitrate.

[@Starix_Gaming]

So there can be lots of things causing this. First off, you mentioned delay. Do you mean stream delay? If so, you can adjust it in OBS Studio “advanced” settings, or in your streaming softwares settings. Secondly, bitrate is a vital factor to your stream performance. May I ask what bitrate you are using for streaming in OBS Studio? It could also be that you simply have set too demanding settings overall for your computer.

There you can change the latency mode. Low latency will try it's best to keep a low delay for interaction with viewers.
