After a long wait, Elgato have finally released Game Capture 2.5 for macOS, with new features such as Stream Command, a new Software Architecture and support for the Elgato HD60 S (which allows ultra-low latency capture). Stream Command allows users to add their webcam and add overlays to their gameplay to make it look less bare. Elgato includes many game-themed overlays (Themes) for free with. I was using the HD60 S+ with an Intel MacBook Pro (2017). On that system, i could only stream / record 720p. Trying to use 1080p would just result in errors. When I got my M1 Mac Mini, I was hoping for 1080p, which it kind of did. It at least let me record without errors, but I still had frame rate and general lag issues.

How To Use Game Capture Elgato Macbook Air
Hey all,
The bit rate in my window capture in OBS from the Elgato HD lags a ton in comparison to everything else. Whether I've got it set at 30fps or 60fps, or if I'm in 720 or 1080. My facecam and Yeti are real time and crystal clear, but the Elgato is seconds delayed and choppy verse what I see on my TV.
I have everything updated in OBS and Elgato to most recent versions.
Internet is 89down 11up.
I'm sporting 2013 iMac, OS X El Capitan, Core i5, 8G ram.
Example of the gameplay + audio lag vs my entire stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdYlvx25A5o
(I have since adjusted my Yeti's settings where my audio input is much nicer)
Without help being met by just purchasing the newer Elgato HD60, are there settings I can do to still broadcast in HD with the game actually being on par and in HD? I'm aware of my cam delay settings I can do, but the game itself isn't coming thru in the window capture, or even in Elgato's program itself, as HD as it is.
It's pretty frustrating how flawless everything can be until I insert the Elgato.
It's especially frustrating when I'm in party chat and they're delayed vs me because they're technically game audio.
Help!!
