For some reason, I always end up having choppy videos when trying to record HotS with OBS. I’m not even streaming, just recording.
I’ve tried everything in the book, lower bitrate, lower resolution etc. Nothing works. This happens on two separate computers. Would anyone know what’s causing this?
(If I record any other game, it’s fine. Only HotS does this.)
Try switching your source to display capture instead of game capture. However, you have to remember this will capture your entire display, so make sure you play in full screen (or windowed fullscreen).
Considering that HotS is CPU intensive have you tried GPU recording? If you have a Nvidia card you can change the recording from CPU to GPU.
More specifically NVENC is made specifically for Nvidia cards.
Secondly, adjusting bitrates serve no purpose if you do not set it to “Same as Stream” in Recording Quality, just throwing this out since you did not mention it in the first place.
Yeah I remember that causing problems before. But now it’s choppy even on display capture.
It’s already on NVENC (Though I’m not sure of the diff betweenNVENC and NVENC (new))
I thought bitrate would make no difference it it WAS set to “Same as streaming” ?
(I don’t get it. it SHOULD work but it doesn’t)
If set as stream then it will take tbe bitrate that was set in the bitrate section.
Otherwise using any video quality ofher than same as streaming will take bitrate presets specifically made for those.
As far as I know, Nvenc New is made for RTX generation cards, the only thing I can say is trying playing with the settings of your game and try recording again, otherwise I would suggest to check if you miss an OBS update or remove the scene that is recording HotS and recreate it.
