OBS Problem

I have trouble recording with OBS because whenever I am recording audio for longer than 2 minutes, the game starts to lag and makes it impossible to play. When I watched the video, it only shows certain frames for about 30 seconds in a row. Then it skips to another. Can anyone help me with this? I would really appreciate it

Is that just a problem with my PC, or something I can fix?

Well that depends on what the problem is.

Is your CPU maxing out when you record? Is your RAM maxing out when you record? Have you tried lowering your bitrate or recording quality to see if that helps alleviate the issue?

We can't really help you without more diagnostic information about what is happening when you record. It sounds like it's an issue with your computer's resources just off the cuff, which might be able to be fixed by lowering your quality settings.

I would advise lowering your recording settings (framerate, resolution, bitrate) to see if that helps—thhis would use less of your computer's resources. This does not look like an issue specific to your computer.

Thanks to both of you! I think part of the problem is my PC, but lowering the bitrate and resolution really helped!
