Press the Windows key, type task manager, and press Enter. Both methods below work equally well, but the second has a cleaner interface and can be set to load automatically when your computer boots. Hopefully you can make similar changes to your setup and see an improvement.There are a few options for checking CPU and memory usage in Windows. I have 64gb of ram so I doubt it but it was worth a try. Plus as I said I trimmed down my media sources and changed each ones properties to “close when inactive” as they might be causing undue load on the CPU. mp4 as they are easier to edit and trim stream highlights from. So I think my webcam might be doing something odd as well as the performance issues. I reconnected the stream and tried again and the same thing happened. It seemed to be ok and I didn’t have much if an issue until I tried to change my webcam (brio stream) to 60fps. Whilst still streaming I started recording after pre warning everyone the frames would get a bit choppy but I needed to troubleshoot. I started stream without recording and it was fine, 50-60% cpu utilisation and 0.1-0.3 percent dropped frames which is totally acceptable. Today removed some sources and charged everything that I left to close when inactive. Sorry to hear the issue is affecting your stream as well. But if so I hope we can find a workaround, seeing as my model uses an Intel CPU I would hope it is more familiar to the windows version than a proprietary Apple CPU. I really hope that Mac hasnt changed something to nerf the intel CPU's models so as to push the need for their own M1 chips. Sadly this didn't solve the issue but I cant seem to get back all the sources and layouts/scenes I purged which is very upsetting.įrom memory I think Mac OSX updated in May (27.2.4 was released prior in March I think?) and I think one of the changes has had a very detrimental affect on OBS's performance?
At this point I began deleting the scenes and changes I have made over the last few months and purged alot of work I had put into the stream to see if it was something I added. To troubleshoot my end, I then backed up my scenes etc and deleted the app and tried the previous release (27.4.2) to see if it was something to do with the 27.2.4. Devices like my webcam go out of synch with the gameplay capture and then speed up to re-synchronise. I tried recording some gameplay without streaming tonight to see if it was anything at all to do with my upload but it behaved the same, CPU maxed until frames drop. After reseting OBS, and then resetting my laptop, and then reseting the stream out of desperation, I gave up and apologised to the viewers, that I had left after losing most of them. CPU maxed on all cores within 30 mins and OBS dropped frames every 1 or 2 minutes without fail. However last nights stream was a total disaster. Below is a screenshot of my CPU load for the last 30 days, as you may have guessed I stream 1-2 times a week.
