What SC2 settings are you running?

Could you try playing in borderless window mode and use Software Capture>Window Capture?

How bad are the FPS drops, and are you getting them all the time? Do note that streaming is a very system intensive progress, and SC2 is definitely a game that seems to be more heavily affected by streaming than others.

you think it is possible to stream in 720p with my settings , i downed it even more to 540 and got little better. usually in game my fps is about 150 ish when i stream it goes down to 90 in the begginging of the game and around mid to late game it goes to 30 fps.. i changed to software capture and will test it out
