Stream gets pixelated under certain conditions.

Hello,
I stream on twitch and when there's a lot of small things on the screen like, particles and grassy fields the more pixelated the stream becomes. Any tips to reduce that a bit?

You cannot do much about that. Reduce the graphics complexity of your captured app/game is the only tip. A huge amount of particles and foliage are worst case for encoders. This cannot be compressed well. They have to remove much detail to keep up with the bitrate.

A very instructive video on that topic:

This may help a bit. Change your OBS FPS from 60 to 30; more bits per frame.
