Lag issue when recording game screen at 1080p

[Tromen]

I'm using Action! 4.38.0 to record gameplay of games like Valorant, CS2, and GTA V. It used to be smooth, but recently when I record at 1920x1080 @ 60fps, the video often stutters, drops frames, or is out of sync with the audio and video.

My PC specs:

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X

GPU: RTX 3060

RAM: 32GB

1TB NVMe SSD

Windows 11 Pro

I'm wondering if Action! is conflicting with a recent Windows update, or if I need to tweak something in the hardware acceleration / video codec?

This sounds like an encoding bottleneck rather than a hardware issue — your specs are fine.

Thanks for sharing your experience! I’m also seeing issues with the latest version of Screen Recorder – particularly with audio desync when exporting long recordings. Did you happen to test whether disabling hardware acceleration helps?
