Question / Help Discord call lags extremely the SECOND I tab into the game I play

[jackeryz]

Hiya all, you've really helped me plenty with a bunch of situations I've had and I really appreciate it (:

I'm a streamer who mainly streams the gaming platform 'Roblox' and playing games with viewers for that game is phenomenal and I love streaming with my friend who the viewers adore.

When I open up the stream, everything runs completely smoothly, no errors in the discord call or anywhere else. The first game we actually played on the Roblox platform didn't lag the call which caught me off guard as it usually does. Nonetheless, we end up switching games to another game on Roblox and when we did that, the second I tabbed into the game that was loading, the call goes incredibly robotic, my friend keeps cutting in and out and it's the same for her in regards to her hearing me. The thing that has me boggled on this is the fact the instant I tab outside of the Roblox game and onto any other window or the desktop, the call runs completely smoothly.

Attached is the logs to the stream I described above, the first hour and a half is the best spot to look at as that's when the call happened, ended up hanging up and going solo for the second half.

I'm open to any solutions really, whether that's to upgrade a piece of my equipment inside my PC or change settings inside it. I'm aware I do have plenty of scenes and sources as well, I try to be creative and make my stream more about the entertainment than the gameplay :)

Thank you for reading (:

Those logs are a hot mess to try to decipher, mainly because of all the browser sources and scene switching. It doesn't report any rendering or encoding lag to speak of, but I couldn't find any place that it showed the actual encoding settings.

But that's besides the point. Discord robot voice normally happens because the CPU is overloaded. What's your cpu usage when this happens?

I figured so, sorry it's hard to look at :S

Every time I look at the task manager for CPU usage, it rarely ever goes beyond 60%, if it does it's for a split second and it never goes beyond 70%.

Attached my output settings if that helps you with the encoding settings, the auto-config wizard says I can work a bit higher but I lowered a few things such as the bitrate and the preset.
