Hello!I'm currently experiencing issues with streaming Dead Space Remake to Twitch via OBS. When I'm not streaming, I can run the game at 1440p max settings with DLSS set to Quality and experience minimal stuttering and average 80-100 FPS. When I stream, the game stutters a lot more (especially during cutscenes) and I average 30-40 FPS. Most interestingly, there will be periods of time where my framerate will jump back up to that 80 FPS area, but eventually some in game event will tank the framerate and stay at that low range continuously. Adjusting the in game settings, even down to low, does not seem to substantially improve the situation.In OBS, when using NVENC encoding, the encoder will get overloaded and the stream will stutter significantly. Switching to x264 encoding makes the stream run smoother but I'm still experiencing the previously mentioned issues. Lowering the output resolution from 1080p to 720p alleviated the issues a little bit but not substantially.My specs:CPU: i7-8700kRAM: 32 GB DDR4GPU: EVGA RTX 3070 FTW3 Ultra GamingStorage: 1 TB (2 x 500 GB RAID 0) Samsung 850 EVO SATA SSDI was wondering if this is a known issue and/or are there additional steps I can take to improve performance while I'm streaming? I'm thoroughly enjoying the game and really want to stream it, but the significantly reduced and inconsistent performance is making that difficult.Thank you for any and all help!

@d00d00d00m Same here. 19-12900k and a rtx2070S. Frame rates drop to single digits and becomes unplayable when trying to stream.

My problem is alittle different the game does stutter quite a bit, but it get worst when trying to stream and my streaming bitrate drops to 0 and crashes OBS. Other than that it's playable off stream. Playing at 4K usually 70-80 fps, but framerate tanks during cutscenes.PC SpecsCPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 4.9GHzRAM: 32GB DDR4 4000MHz Corsair Vengeance RGB ProGPU: EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra 10GMB: Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero X570Storage: 1TB Samsung 980 PRO M.2 NVME, 2TB Samsung 980 PRO M.2 NVME, 4TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD, 3TB Toshiba HDDPeripherals: Gigabyte M28U 4K 144Hz Monitor, Gigabyte M28U 4K 144Hz Monitor, Corsair K95 RGB Platinum XT, Corsair Nightsword RGB Gaming Mouse, Cosair Scimitar RGB ELITE, Logitech BRIO 4K Pro Camera, Logitech C920 Camera, Elgato Stream Deck XL, Elgato 4K60 Pro Capture CardCooler: NZXT Kraken Z73Power: Super Flower 1000W PSU

Likewise: I have an RTX 3060Ti and a 5900x. Without OBS I can play 60fps at 1440p, High settings, DLSS Quality. Although there is still stutter even though there is a shader compilation step when you first start the game.Trying to stream it OBS system usage absolutely cranks and the game has to be put to low settings, DLSS Ultra Performance, at 1080p (seriously) to get anywhere near 60fps. And the performance, even then, is very inconsistent.This is only with the Dead Space remake as well. I tested, just to make sure, with Spider-Man and Doom Eternal (with settings maxed) and OBS's system utilization is far more reasonable and consistent.

@d00d00d00m Yes but ideally you shouldn't have to do any of that! Whatever the problem is, it's something really fundamental about the game. If you look at Task Manager while Dead Space is running (in my experience) GPU usage in OBS shoots up to 60% in OBS which simply doesn't make any sense based on the reasonable, tuned settings I normally use.Some part of the two pieces of software are not talking to each other correctly.

@JumboJenkins @SourceBlood @Ai_X3R0 I was able to review my stream and saw that when stutter was bad it also caused the audio to become desynced from the game temporarily. The cutscene in the morgue with the captain transforming was a stutter fest. I might need to try cutting the stream framerate to 30 instead of 60, and tuning some other OBS settings. I might try locking the framerate in game as well…

El problema comienza después de jugar durante 1h/1h-30h

Empecé a jugar el 05/03/2023 y sigo sin poder hacer streaming mientras estoy jugando porque el problema persiste. En el administrador de tareas, el proceso de audiodg "Aislamiento de gráficos de dispositivos de audio de Windows" comienza a funcionar al 100% sin ningún motivo,

No puedo grabar nada porque el juego y la PC comienzan a congelarse.

I thought something weird was going on when I tried streaming during launch!
No matter my settings, my bitrate would drop to 0 at around the 1 hour mark like clockwork. Sometimes even less. I'd have to force quit Streamlabs just to exit the program then stop the processes in the task manager if I wanted to open Streamlabs again.
The same thing used to happen with some games, but definitely not as often. I could never pinpoint what would drop my bitrate to 0. Also, sometimes my Xbox controller would disconnect at the same time the bitrate dies, which is a really odd coincidence. In all instances, however, my internet connection would be fine, the game unaffected, Streamlabs and chat still running, just can't end the stream without force quitting...
Anyway, I haven't tried streaming Dead Space since launch. Not sure if anything's changed. But maybe it has something to do with... DRM? I've spent so much time looking for solutions but haven't found any.

Buffering, lag, freezing, input delay when lagging, crashing, map not loading, etc.....
Specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor 3.70 GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT
RAM: 32GB ddr4
DISC: Lexar SSD NM620 1TB
GAME SETTINGS: HIGH (Ultra has more bugs and crashes)
This game is poorly optimized. Avatar: FoP runs on high-ultra 251.1 average fps, no bugs or crashes. RE4 remake runs perfectly on high fps. Other games run great as well.
Also its not letting me post a recording of said lag and freezes...

Feels like a rip off... Unplayable... No one wants to play a remake of the game on low settings... anything under high is just like the old game... People diserve a refund regardless of how they got the game, how long they had it for, how long they played it for, etc...
