So, normally I open OBS Studio before I start stream to make sure things are all good and before I open my games up. I've noticed recently that games that have an anti-cheat system (Battleye and EAC for example) will give me encoding issues no matter the output resolution unless I reopen OBS Studio while the game is open. In the same vein, if I open the game before opening OBS and then start streaming, there are no problems. This is frustrating because I have to reset my stream every time I switch games (as a variety streamer) or I'll have really bad encoding issues (on most of the games I play). Any clue why this is? The main games I have noticed this with are Dead by Daylight, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, and VALORANT. Sometimes other intensive games can cause it too, but it's not nearly as noticeable.
