Hello everybody. Anyone using Windows 10 has probably experienced horrible stuttering in their stream when using OBS along with Windows 10 TH2. All you gotta do is run your game(s) in Windows 8 compatibility mode and the poor performance stops dead cold.
How to run games in Windows 8 compatibility mode?
1) Locate your game .exe , right click and select Properties.
2) Click the Compatibility tab, tick "Run this program in compatibility mode for" and select Windows 8.
Does it really work?
Oh yeah, it works! Compare the videos below and see for yourself.
Video 1: Wait for the 20sec mark for trouble to start. In-game is butter smooth.

Video 2: Game is now running in Windows 8 compatibility mode with exact same settings. It's like night and day.

Video 3: GPU encoding (AMD VCE) works again as well. Happy days!

Hope this helped somebody out there on the Interwebs :p
