Encountering issues while streaming Overwatch?
You're experiencing noticeable lag with Overwatch on Medium settings. Let's optimize: try lowering your resolution to 1080p or 1440p, reduce the frame rate to around 30–40 fps, and consider using a lower bitrate (e.g., 3000–4000 kbps). Also, ensure your GPU is updated and check for any driver issues. If you're still struggling, adjust your network settings or switch to a more stable connection.
At that moment I used only Discord, Obs, and Battle.net. Overwatch ran at roughly 60% or more CPU usage with medium settings, while Obs was the only one lagging—not the game itself.
Adjust the options carefully, as per the YouTube guide. Make sure everything stays stable.
If the approach @Jasun mentioned isn't useful, consider using a different machine for streaming and installing the NDI plugin there. This will reduce CPU usage on your primary device—just ensure you have a gigabit Ethernet connection at home, as it can handle over 100 Mbps for data transmission.
