Question / Help Need help with streaming and recording.

Hello everybody, I'm not sure what's the protocol on doing this threads so I'll just tell you my problem and hopefully you can help me with it.

So I started streaming on Twitch like a week ago using OBS, and yesterday I thought on saving my streams to make highlights for YouTube (to gain more audience) but the problem is I can't make it work.
I read that I have to write "-multi" at the end of the shortcut to open a second OBS, and I did,so far so good. But the problem is that when I hit Start Streaming on one and Start Recording on the other one, it records but the stream freezes. They both appear fine on preview but can't make the stream move. Also, in the OBS I use to stream I have a scene where I have my overlay, cam and stuff like that, and in the OBS I want to use to record it's just the game capture. Is it possible to fix this?

I'm using OBS 0.656, and only use one monitor.
Could it be something with my PC?

Thank you in advance, have a good day. :)

Not even with a second monitor? Or is there a way to record and also stream maybe using another software? I tried using Fraps but my game started lagging a little bit.

Game capture can only hook one process at a time.

Using another software doesn't magically work around this.

The second monitor method has you capture the projector view of the first obs with the second.
