Hi,

I've been having problems trying to record, stream and even preview Team Fortress 2 ever since I got a new GPU (RX 580) and updated to windows 10. I have used DDU to remove all my old gpu's (GTX 970) drivers. Weirdly OBS will hook other source games, such as garrys mod and Counter-Strike: Source. When OBS is trying to be used with Team Fortress 2 it causes my game to lag and my fps to tank to 20/30fps and feels like I have CRAZY input lag. I do not experience this in any other games. It also fails to pick up tf2 in the preview and any recordings. I have tried:

  • Running DDU again
  • Running OBS as an admin
  • Running tf2 as an admin
  • Reinstalling OBS
  • Running both OBS 32bit and 64bit.
  • Using x264 and hardware encoding

OBS classic does pick up tf2 in preview and recording, however I would much prefer to use OBS Studio.

A little bit more information: If I allow the OBS/tf2 combination to "stabilise" (it's not stable at all) I get 10fps, dunno if this is relevant
