Problem Details:
First things first, yes I have a good enough CPU and GPU to stream. This is (I'm pretty sure) not a hardware issue.
So as of the last two weeks I have encountered a problem the regards both obs and osu. When both programs are running, osu suddenly gets hit by a large sum of lag. This causes the frame rate to drop tremendously and also cause huge input lag. I have been able to stream just fine in the past with the "input lag" number sticking around 0.8-1.2 when streaming. I run windows 10 btw.
Things I have already done in an attempt to fix this:
-When I looked at task manager I saw that windows defender had suddenly jumped in cpu usage. Turning windows defender off actually helped the frame rate and stabilized it to a playable state, however there is still a significant amount of lag and sometimes I still can't hit 60hz.
-Something that may have caused the problem is installing a set of programs by rustbell labeled as "pen lag reduction". The problems occurred shortly after installing this so I'm wondering if this is the reason behind it. I have reversed all the affects the pen programs were doing however nothing has changed.
-This issue only affects osu and obs. All other programs run just fine with eachother (Tested programs include Elsword, Overwatch, and Minecraft)
-I've reinstalled both programs however the issue still stands
I'm not quite sure what the issue is. Task manager doesn't point to anything suspicious other than windows defender, however turning that off only solved half the problem. If anyone could help me think of a solution to this, I would deeply appreciate it!
Computer specs if people think it's a hardware issue:
-CPU: FX-8350
-GPU: GTX 950
Video or screenshot showing the problem:
Task Manager when both programs are running
These images are from the menu. I can't get to the song selection due to lag
Osu framerate (In window)
Osu framerate (Out of window)
What this should look like...
