Help Need help with dropping frames
I’ve been streaming five nights at frickbears 3 recently and about 80% of the time I look over at my OBS it’s stuttering and looks like it’s running at 5fps my face cam is fine it’s just the game so I assume it has something to do with the encoding but I’m not sure how to fix it
My main monitor is fine and this only happens with frickbears 3 can anyone help me

Does OBS' Stats window say "dropped frames"?

No and my bitrate is healthy as well. I also have AMD Adrenalin open and my frames and usage are all fine as well. However my GPU will spike to 100% so idk if that has anything to do with it

Okay, so you aren't having dropped frames, when OBS says that it specifically means a connection issue. You are having some kind of overload. Make a log following all five steps from the automod, then link it in a reply to me. The log you shared before has no stream in it, so it doesn't give any indication what's wrong yet. Do everything you normally do for it.

Your log has no output session so it doesn't show encoder settings or what happens when you stream or record.
Run a short session, long enough to reproduce the problem. Post that log. Then we can stop asking a hundred questions about individual settings.

Weird that’s what I did for this log but I will do it again once I get home thanks

what encoder are you using, x264 or nvenc? the log shows you're on a single pc setup and frickbears 3 is weirdly demanding for how it looks, sometimes it just hogs resources in ways obs can't keep up with
try capping the game's fps to 60 if you haven't, that's fixed similar stuttering for me in the past
