Question / Help I can't stream games with OBS that use Opengl, kills my frames

Games like QuakeLive or even Hammerwatch or Awesomenauts seems to suffer pretty damn badly when I try to stream with OBS, it seems to make games that NORMALLY would be 60+fps run at 30 or under which can be pretty jarring and doesn't help that if I alt tab out the game goes BACK to 60fps on obs itself on my other monitor, any help would be great!

Could you include a log file? I would assume that you're probably on an intel integrated graphics chip (probably a laptop too), and intel integrated chips do not support the fast game capture method we use, so it falls back to the slower method in that case. We'll be adding optimizations later for slower method later, but for now there isn't too much choice in the matter.
 
Nope I'm on a pc. Using a AMD 7850Seems it didn't make a log the day I figured out it really was opengl giving me issues, I'll have to try with quakelive again and hope it decides to make a log this time.
