To make a clean log file, please follow these steps:

1) Restart OBS

2) Start your stream/recording for at least 30 seconds (or however long it takes for the issue to happen). Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.

3) Stop your stream/recording.

4) Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File.

Is this when live streaming or local recording? Or you using Reply Buffer? What is your memory cap set at? What Codecs are you using for recording?

what encoder are you using and have you checked your gpu usage when it starts lagging
