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...

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.
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. - Also yes, it is a 6gb 1060.
- He also didn't explain if there's anything special you have to do to use the plugin so I just installed it, replaced the files in the folder since it said I already had them, then opened my OBS and used x264, 720p, 60fps, and still had the same problem. It uses CPU and GPU.
@KARIIMEW thanks for that, sorry it didn't help, that's pretty much the limit of my experience TBH.
If it's just an issue when you stream and run the game i'd probably raise a new thread on the Technical issues forum and submitting some diagnostics for them to look at. There's a guide to collection diagnostics here if you need any help.
