Livestream locked at 30FPS?

[Jurge92]

Hi.

I've been noticing when I livestream my games trough game-mode, the FPS never goes higher than 30FPS. When I stop the recording, it jumps to stable 60FPS. Can someone please explain to me why this is, and what can be done to make it show 60FPS?

Jurge92,

Procaster limits games to 30 FPS so there are enough CPU resorces to broadcast and play the game comfortably. You can change the FPS in Procaster's settings to the exact frame rate your game runs at, but depending on your CPU and how CPU intensive your game is, it may effect the quality of both your game and stream.
