Question / Help Local Recording lag.

Hey guys, I have been doing local recording for BO2 with an elgato for the last few days. I do this so I can use facecam while making youtube videos. I have it set for 5000kb/s and 60 fps etc. (looked up the settings which are best for local recording) and tonight, for some reason my fps dropped to about 10 and I am getting 0kb/s. I haven't changed any settings or the way I would be recording, so what could be my problem? I need this fixed asap otherwise I will lose viewers since I don't have any more videos to upload.

Also, would you happen to know why in the videos my team-mates voices are unable to be heard?

You are encoding 1080p 60fps on a laptop, using your intel integrated chip on the CPU as the renderer. This is most likely the cause. You may have to turn downscale to 720p instead because there seems to be some major CPU discrepency here causing these things to fight over your CPU time. 1080p will just eat -all- your CPU.

The thing is, is the fact that it has been working just fine for 3 days, and now all of the sudden my fps drops to 10 and I'm getting 0kb/s. Like, I have about 30 videos showing it working then all of the sudden it's not working anymore.

Fine or not, there is some major CPU discrepancy going on here, 1080p 60fps is a huge load and eats a ton of CPU and bus traffic. Anything could be interfering with it. (All effects have a cause -- things do not just suddenly happen spontaneously.. well, at least in computing. I've heard humans can spontaneously combust)

As for your sound, that's most likely due to the headset rerouting part of your sound output rather than all your sound output. You may want to try selecting a different desktop sound output in audio section

Fine or not, there is some major CPU discrepancy going on here, 1080p 60fps is a huge load and eats a ton of CPU and bus traffic. Anything could be interfering with it. (All effects have a cause -- things do not just suddenly happen spontaneously.. well, at least in computing. I've heard humans can spontaneously combust)

As for your sound, that's most likely due to the headset rerouting part of your sound output rather than all your sound output. You may want to try selecting a different desktop sound output in audio section

Sorry, I'm kind of dumb when it comes to this stuff, what settings would I need to do for the sound output? I changed to 720 with 60 fps, and it cut it down to about 50% CPU usage just on the preview, I will find out later today how it works with actually gameplay.

Ah, I meant in settings -> sound -> desktop output device. You may have to choose the right device there to get them on the stream
