Constant Crashing on PC when Streaming

Question

Hello,&nbsp;I'm trying to play Need for Speed Heat on PC, but I constantly crash whenever I stream the game on Discord to friends.&nbsp;So far, I have tried this:&nbsp;1. Deleting SteamApps Shaders
2. Limit the game to 60FPS via Nvidia Control Panel
3. Set Admin Privileges to all EA and Need for Speed programs
4. Disabled all overlays (Steam, Discord, Nvidia).
5. Deleted Need for Speed folder under Documents.&nbsp;
6. Ran script to utilize more cores (Ref: [Removed - Admin.])&nbsp;

Currently running
MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti VENTUS 3X OC
Intel Core i7-13700F&nbsp;Socket-LGA1700, 16-Core, 24-Threads, 2.1/5.2GHz
Kingston FURY Beast RGB DDR5 5600MHz 32GB, 2x16GB.

Please help, I feel like I've tried every reasonable solution Google/Reddit has come up with, I'm at my wits end. For me to play without being able to stream to friends to say "Hey, look at this." makes the game literally unplayable.&nbsp;

Some troubleshooting to try:&nbsp;

Turn off the EA app overlay via the three bar menu at top left, Settings, Application, In-game overlay
Clear the EA app cache: https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/
In the EA app, click on the game and then Manage, Repair
Run System File Checker to help ensure the integrity of your Windows System files: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
