When I got my computer I could run this game fully maxed out and streaming on 60fps solid with no issues. Now I run with FPS configs and at 30fps whilst still getting FPS drops. The game runs fine without streaming but is almost unplayable whilst streaming. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Are you running TF2 in borderless windowed mode? Does the problem continue to happen if you remove your webcam source or lower its resolution to something more reasonable like 1280x720?

Yeah, borderless windowed at a fullscreen resolution. I'd prefer not to change that. The FPS issues do seem to go when the webcam is off, but I'd rather keep it on. My issue is that I never used to have this issue, so I assume there's something I can do to maintain the resolution and keep my webcam with no fps drops.

If the issue goes away when you disable the webcam then you should try lowering its resolution as I suggested.

17:54:42: device: Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920,

Go into your webcam source's properties window and lower the webcam's resolution to 1280x720.
