I tried out OBS and it was great. I was able to get minimal fps drop and the game seemed smooth overall. The only problem I had was my actual stream playback. My stream was very laggy, idk if this is a problem with my OBS settings or my internet. Does anyone know how to fix this?

OBS has a colored square at the bottom while you stream, next to the current bitrate. Does it ever go yellow or red? If so, you need to reduce the max bitrate to a value it has in the green, and if that's not the problem then you need to lower the streaming resolution instead; you mentioned "minimal fps drop", but even a little can make a stream really laggy because the game and the stream run at different framerates (30 and 60 is good, 25 and 55 is bad), resulting in a jittering effect. If neither of these solve the problem, someone else will probably give better advice than I can.
