OBS "Skipped Frames Due to Encoding Lag" Fix

Рет қаралды 28,753

Күн бұрын

I've been streaming and making videos with OBS for over two years now, and while the streaming has been going fairly well for the most part, in the past few months, I have come across a problem with my recorded videos being very choppy to point they were unwatchable.
I took a look at the stats in OBS to see that after recording for about a minute, my "Skipped frames due to encoding lag" stat would spike into the red for no discernible reason. I have a nice PC and mostly record console game footage, so the issue certainly wasn't with the CPU.
After consulting the elders of the internet and tweaking literally every single setting OBS has to offer, I realized the solution was simpler than I was making it out to be: THE HARD DRIVE!
I realized that my old hard disk drive just wasn't fast enough to keep up with the encoding speeds of my PC. So, I got a $50 SSD and rerouted my OBS videos to a file on the SSD, and voila! No more skipped frames at all!
I was really shocked at the total lack of helpful info regarding this problem, which means I'm either just a total idiot (which is highly likely), or it's just a very specific problem that few people have come across. If you're one of those people, please consider subscribing.
Enjoy!

You are lifesaver man. I never even considered that this was what was causing my encoding issue. But sure enough, this was the solution for me. Thanks a lot, can't wait to record more now without frame skips!!

This issue can happen even with SSD. For those streamers that come here looking for a solution, but already have an SSD or a 3090Ti like I have, and the GPU is at 100%, and the "Skipped frames due to encoding lag" is nearly 100%. This comment is for you. The issue obviously can't be resolved as described if you already have SSD. I found the issue to be related to a single check box setting. OBS > Settings > Output > Streaming|Recording > Rescale Output = UNCHECKED! If you check the rescale output it will crush the GPU, even a 3090Ti. I'm Streaming|Recording at 3840x2160 and so rescaling the output to 3840x2160 was not necessary. In this configuration it increases the GPU load for no added benefit. However the symptom is the same as described in this video. So for those that have fast systems and still see this issue, check your OBS Output Settings for both Streaming and Recording, whichever you're doing, and try to uncheck "Rescale output."

I'm having the issue and ONLY streaming - not recording. I don't have a "rescale output" option. ---- Well now I found it! Have to first change (at top of output window) the output mode to advanced

@redlinejoes 2 жыл бұрын

@@kiterway3592 Streaming|Recording == Streaming OR Recording. It shouldn't matter if you are doing one or the other because rescaling is happening regardless. Now that you found the setting, it's important to let us know if it was 1) Enabled or Disabled 2) Did disabling the setting resolve your issue? Please document your findings for the rest of the community. Thanks for your help!

I was having this issue as well but already have a SSD. It is weird my recordings would start off with no issues but once I got to a minute or two into the recording is when the skipped frames due to encoding lag would happen. I tried many different things to fix it to no avail. So I went to the settings as you described and my rescale output was unchecked so I changed it to checked and that seemed to help a lot! About 10 minutes into my video I had my average time to render go up in the orange numbers as well as my frames missed due to rending lag. It might have been cause by the game I was playing but when I reviewed the video I could not noticed any difference from the start of the video to the end so whatever caused it did not seem to mess up the recording.

Absolute lifesaver of a video, thank you so much, this issue was driving me INSANE! I was recording at 1080p30 and kept getting stutters and was confounded beyond words. I have a Ryzen 7 3700x and an Rtx 2060 so I KNEW it was in no way my PC being too weak. I did a test just after watching this and sure enough, after switching over to the SSD recording path I went from 150 missed frames an hour to 19 (and it was only a light spike when it happened). God bless this video ❤️

Well this just makes me even more confused. I see you a helped a lot of people so thank you, but for me this didn't help. I am using a Ryzen 9 5900X, videos are saved on a high speed m.2 ssd, and yesterday i didn't have any issues. I streamed, i recorded and they were smooth, but today it drops frames like crazy. My CPU usage doesn't even go above 50%. I'm really lost as to what caused this. I didn't change any settings. Edit: i saw a comment on rescale output, i don't have that checked either. Edit 2: For those who seem to have the same problem with no fix, it turns out that my issues was somehow GPU overload even with encoder lag, because i use my 3080 as the encoder. Try this: Settings > Output > Recording > Change that P thingy to P5 if it's on 6 and what made the big difference for me was changing multi pass to single (maybe you can even try off if still laggy)

For some people it might be different, but I record with streamlabs obs and this type of thing was happening to me. I found an easy solution that worked for me. I went into the settings of streamlabs obs, then I went into output. Then I went under the recording section and changed the encoder settings to "Software (x264 low CPU usage preset, increases file size)". I'm not sure what any of that means, but it fixed the skipped frames. Hope this helps.

I bought an EVGA XR1 Lite capture card and everything works fine. However when playing games like Animal Crossing: New Horizons off my capture card through OBS, not even recording sometimes I see lag spikes. Every second I see a tiny, yet annoying pause that is constant. Can range from a single second, to 20 seconds until going back to normal. I get about 20-54 skipped frames due to encoding lag in the span of 13 minutes with recording. My CPU and GPU do not spike at all, both get around at max 50%, and the low around 20% for my GPU, and 2% for my CPU. Is it the HDMI cables I'm using, or is it the card? It's a tiny problem, but I get very annoyed that the FPS isn't smooth the entire time. The only other app I have running is Google Chrome, and that does eat a lot of RAM, but with it on it's at 39% with OBS on not recording. I don't want to revert my recordings to a 720P 30FPS stream, I'd like keep recording and viewing my capture card's stream in 1080P 60FPS, but how can I fix this issue?

I can't open my files and I get the pop-up that it doesn't have the application to preform this task or whatever. I've literally tried everything to fix that and nothing works. So, I can't just go into the files to delete the data and restart the game. If I go back though and look at d*ad bodies the names tags don't pop up again. And I noticed the steam version is different than when I played it on my ps4. The wrong end screens pop up like they should and after the 1st chapter the menu music changed.

You could experiment with different bitrates (all streaming platforms have recommended settings) and also try a variable bitrate as well. Sometimes I have trouble when streaming, and it's almost always something on the end of my ISP, so you could contact them as well to see if there are any issues. Also, for a more worry-free solution, you could try the auto-configure tool set for streaming, which usually works pretty well for me.

I don't have much experience with Macs, but I'm fairly certain a Mac Book Pro would have the hardware to render video in OBS just fine. You might look at recommended hard drive speeds for recording in OBS (I know that info is online somewhere), and see if yours meets the demand. I would also try recording a video to an external SSD if you have one available just to see if it works as a next step, but keep in mind your connection type (USB 2.0, 3.0, SATA) will also factor into the write speed. You should also look into the 'Rate Control' you have selected in Recording settings on OBS, which will affect the quality of the recording and might make a difference in performance, and there are thousands on tutorial videos on rate control on YT. I hope that helps!

@JamesLovesGames Жыл бұрын

Some modern HDDs are probably fast enough to render properly, but I'm not sure exactly how fast they would need to be. It would probably depend on what other hardware you are using.

I don't record any gameplay yet I get 88% skipped frames while streaming. 1Gbps fiber, RTX 3080 as the encoder and no matter what I do it lags like crazy. I think obs is just crap maybe? or maybe I need to upgrade to an RTX 4080 or something -_-

I have a 5200 RPM HDD and in a 30 Minutes record from a Megaman Style game (Gunvolt 3), i have Rendering Lag 10/345790 Frames (0.0%) Enconding Lag 10/340888 Frames (0.0%) I think, anything below 0.5% its ok.

I often see very small amounts like this when I stream or record as well, and I don't think that it will make any discernible difference in the output.

I'm no expert; this is just what worked for me. If it isn't your CPU, SSD or GPU, unfortunately, I don't really have a solution for you.

@JamesLovesGames 2 жыл бұрын

Ok, well hearing you're playing the games on the same PC makes me think that might be it. I only really stream or record console games, so I don't have that issue. Some more RAM might help, but I can't say for sure. I'm certainly no expert, the SSD is just what worked for me.

Would this work with a portable hdd?

@JamesLovesGames 2 жыл бұрын

Your miles may vary, but I started out using a portable SSD that would give me corrupted video files after a few weeks of regular use, despite them recording without skipped frames during that time. I switched to a SATA connection and it has worked flawlessly ever since. A portable HDD might work, provided it is fast enough, but SSDs are cheap enough now to make it a no-brainer.

It depends on how fast your internet is. I would say you should use whatever KZfaq or Twitch recommends, which is pretty easy to find online. If you have problems, just lower it until it works for your speed. Just for an example, I have my streaming bitrate at 6,500 kbps.

Again it depends on your setup. I have a not-so-great video card, but a really fast CPU, so I have my encoding set to x264, which is the CPU. I also stream mostly console games instead of PC games, so my CPU is never in danger of getting overloaded.
