Issue with Streaming Valorant on OBS - Severe Frame Drops When Game is Opened

Hello, I’ve been experiencing a major issue when streaming Valorant using OBS. My network speed is 150 Mbps, and I’m using a wired LAN connection. I’ve set my OBS bitrate to 10,000 kbps. When streaming without launching any games (e.g., Valorant ), everything works perfectly—there are no dropped frames. However, the moment I open the game, the OBS status turns red, and my stream begins to drop frames significantly. Here’s what I’ve tried so far: 1. Ensured no other applications are consuming bandwidth in the background. 2. Lowered the bitrate in OBS to see if it resolves the issue. 3. Confirmed that my network is stable and runs at full speed during the issue. Despite this, the problem persists. Could this be related to how Valorant interacts with OBS or system resources? Are there specific settings or configurations I should adjust? I’d appreciate any guidance or suggestions to resolve this issue.
