DarkTransient 07/05/18 5:21:48 PM #8:	Reduce the resolution you're streaming / recording in. 720p will be fine on most computers; 1080p might be pushing it a bit, don't bother with 4K unless you have a top-tier machine. Also close everything except OBS and the game. In particular, Firefox is a huge offender for causing lagging while OBS is running. --- http://www.facebook.com/loaocos/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAfJB3KYYDg <cite>DarkTransient posted [p:904550776] in OBS is bog...
