help OBS+LoL=Death of FPS

[MrXonte]

Hope this is the right place for this.

Anyways my gf has the following problem with her PC: when streaming league of legends with OBS her fps start to drop down after a while and constantly creep further down until it turns into a 1fps slideshow. closing OBS later doesnt help, only a PC restart. This does not happen when OBS wasnt used to stream and she has no fps problems whatsoever in other games. Her PC doesnt have trouble handling streaming, as her cpu usage is 50% at most while streaming league and gpu and ram are also not much used.

Specs: i7 8700k, gtx 1060 6gb, both obs and lol are on the same ssd, 16gb ram, windows 10 pro

 

Please help

Stop playing League of Legends? :^) /s

 

Is she doing a game capture on LoL or using a window capture? Using NVENC? Is there something else running in the background when the FPS drops start (Besides OBS or LoL)?

Are you using hardware acceleration or software?

Because if you use hardware acceleration, it will screw up your fps if you don't have really good specs.

It might also be the OBS that you are using. Use something like StreamLabsOBS

(EDIT)

I just looked at your specs, so it must be either the OBS or something else. When I play a game on the same drive as my system, the game tends to lag at random times. If you put OBS on a different drive, it might be fine.

game capture that is capturing a specific window for ingame and windows capture for the client. x264, but the problem persists with nvenc

she just has her standard streaming stuff open which worked fine until about 2-3 weeks ago and is still working fine for all other games

Update to 21.1.2, the auto updater is broken so you'll need to redownload from www.obsproject.com , it fixes it. Make sure to delete the old game capture source once its finished updating.

Fixed an issue with the new 2018 Windows 10 release (1803) that would cause game capture to perform poorly on Direct3D 9.0c games.
