OBS causes game FPS drop

Hi, I'm trying to stream the PC version of one of my favorite fighting games. The game runs well at a smooth 60 fps if OBS is not open. Simply opening OBS causes the game to experience dips to 54-55 fps intermittently, usually once or twice a minute. This causes gameplay issues if it happens in the middle of a combo or other tense moment.

I have seen others have this issue fixed by running OBS on the same monitor as the game, but that did not help in my case.

I ran a two-minute test stream and uploaded a log file, does anyone know what the issue might be?

You're using SE.live plugin which changes core functions (like the browser source) in OBS. Either way, contact them directly or remove the plugin.
To completely remove it: unisntall SE.live, unsintall OBS and reinstall OBS.

This plugin don't add anything you can't add manually in the docks menu. It does change/downgrade core components.

It is expected when you use a game and OBS in the same computer to have some impact over the performance of the game, specially on demanding ones like FPSs or Fighting ones. You're system resources are shared between both programs so it's normal. Becuase of this most medium/big streamers use 2 computers, one for OBS and the other for the games. Remember the computer is doing intense calculations for the game and for the stream/recording on both, GPU and CPU.
Untick the enable advanced encoder settings. You're not using it. Encoder preset can be Quality. Depending on your internet quality you may want to lower those 6000kbps (I know, makes everything looks bad)

Test your internet connectoin against Twitch using the Twitch Bandwith Test. Selecting your region and go for it. After that, do a screenshot of the result and post it here.

Also, you may want to use the CoreAudio AAC for the audio. Before you install, read the full guide please.

OBS-Studio: Enable CoreAudio AAC encoder (Windows)

First of all, if you have iTunes or QuickTime installed, chances are you are already using the CoreAudio AAC encoder in OBS-Studio. But if you normally do not use or install any of those, there is another way to enable it. All we need is the...
