Hello,

When a game is running by itself, I can get around 120+ frames. But when OBS is open, It drops below 20. This is without streaming or recording. When I test it streaming or recording the fps drops to around 18. If anyone knows of a fix it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I've also been given to understand that having multiple game/display captures in a scene can cause this. It would be better practice to start with a scene collection that includes all your base elements (overlays, microphones) and then duplicate them, then add unique items.

You've got four game or display capture sources in your "main" scene. Try duping the scene collection, rename one dupe "fortnite" and then delete the non-fortnite related capture sources.
