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...
Forum Discussion
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.

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.
A quick and dirty explaination here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfPm5KbdAok- I use x264 to stream and I still have the problem because, while it uses a majority of my CPU power to stream, it still requires some GPU and this game takes up so much GPU that it leaves no room for OBS to have pretty much anything. If I want to stream at 720p, 60fps, then OBS is going to take 15-20% GPU to do so while the game is taking anywhere from 25%-40% (when in the lobby) to 40%-95% (when in the game). This is with all of the settings on the lowest option or disabled if it has an option to disable it.
And it's not just MY computer. A lot of other people are having this exact same problem with even better PCs than mine, or worse.
