Trouble streaming OSX

Hi!

I like streaming games, and I can't stream IP. It drops frames when I do. I tried dropping graphic fidelity and upping it to 4 cores. I'm on a MacPro 2013, so it's not a super-slow computer. :)

You can see the speed going up and down here. Not sure if there's anything to be done about it. :(

I can stream HotS, Rocket League and LoL just fine, so I don't think the computer is just too slow for it.

Hmmmm. If this was a PC, I would say try disabling VSync in the video driver, but you probably don't have the option to do that on OSX.

Does the problem happen in menus too? If not, then it may be a CPU issue - Infested Planet is hard on the CPU because of simulating all the bug swarms.

It does seem to happen in menus. I was able to turn off VSync, didn't change it. I've got 3.7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5 in my computer. Not sure if that means much; I've not been a hardware guy since the Amiga died. :)

I'm afraid that I have no idea for how to fix this, then. Sorry.

The game just makes normal OpenGL calls, and if the streaming software does something that messes with that, I'm not sure how to fix that.
