Streaming Path of Exile Issues.

Hey guys!

Before I go into the issues, here's my Specs.

CPU: i5 4690K
GPU: 660Ti
SSD: Samsung 250GB.
Ram: 16gb of Kingston HyperX Fury.

The graphics card is being updated soon but it should still run PoE just fine.

Now to the Issue: I'm getting some huge CPU hogging happening while OBS studio 64 bit and PoE are up. OBS runs other games such as League of Legends, Mass Effect etc just fine but when it comes to Path of Exile (Even in a quiet zone, like Crossroads) the CPU peaks at 100% often. This causes my stream to lag for my viewers and ingame too.

What I have tried:

- Deleting Mapfiles folder.
- Reinstalled 3 times.
- Verified Cache on Steam
- Reduced the Video Settings to their lowest values.
- Forced Nvidia Control Panel to add Path of Exile to run with the 660Ti.

Here is my Rain meter while I was just standing around in Crossroads. Lows of 70% and Highs of 100%.



Anyone have an idea how to Play this game while Streaming? Maybe I've got my settings in OBS wrong but I've been streaming a year now, this is the only game i've had an issue with that I couldn't fix.

Here's my settings currently.



Love the game and would love to share it with my viewers more without a slideshow.

Would appreciate any help.

For Further info:

I'm using OBS Studio 64bit.

These are my advanced settings



These are my output settings



Since my last post:

I have tried switching renderer.
Disabling Anti-Aliasing in-game.
