Lag spikes with new computer
6 years ago
Aragon, Spain

Hi all,

Recently I bought a new computer which is much better than my old one, however i'm experimenting lag spikes sometimes (this didn't occur whit the older one). I tried with full screen, windowed mode and changing the settings a bit, however anything solves the problem.

Drivers are all up to date. One thing I notice is that geforce experience don't detect the game.

Anyone has any idea about what can be causing this? I didn't have max FPS set, and in the screen it shows 299 almost all the time.

This is my last vod: (i don't know if I can make a clip) around 1:28:35 when i'm falling you can see it.

I'm working right now, if you need the computer specifications i will post them.

Thank you very much!

Does this happen when obs isn't recording/streaming?

Was your older computer using a different version of windows?

Thanks for your replies, I will try to make a run without OBS, but I think that it was happening too, (i made 1 or 2 in the past).

Yes, I'm using same version. W10

have you tried setting portal (aka hl2.exe) to a higher cpu priority? That fixed 99.9% of lags for me.

Audio requirements

Startong today, runs that require video proof (top 25) and runs beyond that where video is the only form of proof, now require audio, as recording audio for only the game is now a native OBS feature.
