Game Optimization? Heavy GPU usage?
Not sure what the problem is with this game. Dunno if it's optimization or what, but I have spoken to many streamers and friends who struggle to stream this game just because of the heavy load it has...

im not a tech geek but is'nt high GPU usage meant good optimization? it means the game fully utilize the GPU power (unless the fps is capped) at least that's what i want my game to do. maybe it made more sense if youre talking about high CPU usage.
and the absurd statement about '30fps is not noticeable' aside, okay im gonna give it a benefit of the doubt that maybe a minor population of people might not notice. but still, they're at a disadvantage when playing against people with 60+ fps because of their higher reaction time and lower input delay.
I already said in my reply that poor optimization may not have been what I was going for. The problem at hand is that this game takes so much GPU that it leaves little room for much else. It's not a problem if you're just playing the game, but if you're trying to stream too then it becomes a problem for a lot of people. People want to stream this game, but have problems because of this. I notice when my FPS drops below 60, but other people who don't pay attention to that said they were fine at 30 fps, hardly noticed a difference, and it was a fix for them. KUDOS if it solved the problem for them, but it is a terrible solution.
My point still stands, limiting the crap out of your game isn't an ideal fix for this problem, especially if you have a good set up and encounter this problem regardless, which many people seem to be having.

Out of interest what are your PC specs and capture software? I've streamed this a little on my older PC (4-5yrs old) but stopped as OBS kept crashing, moved over to GeForce experience and it's fine - but i stopped as i lose all the plugins. Have ended up moving over to Xbox to streams instead.- Ryzen 7 1700x CPU
GeForce GTX 1060 GPU
16 GB of RAM
I'm not extremely tech savvy but I have been told I have a decent to good rig and should be able to play/stream this no problem, but I can't.- Hmm, I presume that's the 6gb 1060? other than that being an unbalanced pairing with your CPU i dont see what the problem would be, i was streaming on Pc with a worse set up..
Are you using OBS to stream? if so you might want to see if they still do the AMD plugin so you can process the stream with your CPU power rather than your GPU, which might help.
