Question / Help FPS Drop during preview/streaming

[MLGHammertime]

Hey guys,

So I'm having this issue where when I turn on preview or actually turn on the stream I start lagging pretty hard. It generally doesnt even seem like t he game alone is effected. For example, if I minimize a window and drag it around, its generally really smooth, however when I turn preview on or the stream its choppy.

Any suggestions?

Disable Aero when using Monitor capture. If you want to keep Aero enabled, use Window capture instead.
