Description of issue:
Alright so for some reason when I open obs and I have Minecraft running it makes my Minecraft FPS drop dramatically, I don't even have to be streaming or recording just having OBS running makes my FPS drop from 5 - 20 FPS, this only happens on Minecraft no other games have this same problem. When I don't have OBS running while I play Minecraft my FPS is 200 -300 or more. I don't know whats causing this type of lag, I've been thinking its because of my PC specs but I don't know.

Been having the same problem, I figured that if you turn on Multi-Adapter Compatibility it will raise it to about 90, but won't bring it all the way back.

How do you turn that on?

Great to hear! I've read that this isn't good for Studio though, so I recommend looking for another fix, as I am too. :D

This worked great. Not quite sure what was changed that now needs it to be ticked but thanks a bunch!
