Question / Help Weird problem when trying to stream DOTA2.

[hyperion666]

I've been streaming Starcraft2 for a while and everything is going well. But when I tried to stream DOTA2 today, I got this the problem.
Locally everything is fine, but the frame rate is extremely low from the viewer's side.
The funny thing is if I minimize Dota2 and start to find solutions using Chrome, I would see that the stream look fine then. The frame rate would be normal.
I know I'm a newbie and I'm not a native English speaker but can anyone help me plz!!!

Thank you for providing a log.

As you're using the x264 encoder, it requires CPU. Dota 2 is likely using more CPU (especially when focused) so it takes away from OBS.

As you have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050, you can change your Encoder settings in Settings -> Output to "NVENC (Hardware)" and that should solve the issue. It'll use a dedicated chip on your graphics card, so it won't take away from your game.
