Updates

The little upgrades worked so far. Still a little bit blurry.

No Scramble Eggs Pls

I manage to limit the pixel scrambling by reducing every sources. 1366x768 instead of 1920x1080, i could go lower but i'm not sure, i need to learn more about downgrading screen resolution because i have some concerns.

You better lay low

i got games that are great in downscale resolution. For my eyes, i downscale them in their settings and play like that as my PC cannot run em in full High/Custom settings (except some games for gameplay i always put my games in High Settings) Exemple of a great game that play ok in downscale fullscreen is Clone Hero. texture are a bit blurry for me but look great on stream. Unfortunately I can't do that on every game i got.
Today i tried Forza Horizon 5, cool game and one of the beautiful i have. Forza has a lot of settings in graphics and image menus (they do not have the same parameters) and nonetheless it's heavy for the encoder. The game is kinda heavy on the GPU and have to encode the stream too, i don't know if it's where the problem is but the down scaling wasn't the solution for this one.
I'm pretty sure it's not the only case where software/game side downscale is inefficent

Little steps only

Now i've learn a lot more about OBS, which is very nice, i did some weird scene for my stream. simple rectangles with stuff in it.
The Game View has 2 gifs that helps a lot the see if i got huge fps drops in the viewer side -and they funny as hell. I try to keep it simple enough so i can move on something maybe more fancy. For now i'll just test some games and see if they're good with the current setting and avoid them if they're not.
