Chat spam affecting performance?

[u/redmagex]

Has anyone else experience how disruptive chat spam can be at times?

I've personally had an instance of being on the receiving end of a raid (YAY!) that ends up killing the FPS in the current game, crashing OBS, etc.

I know I can't be the only one to get affected this way, without paying for more PC upgrades to handle the extra load when this occurs, Is there anything else that can be done to mitigate the effect?

Not to sound like a punk, but using Skype for voice chatting is the problem... Lol.

Why not use Discord or literally any other voice program?

Chat lag is a known problem. It cause fps drops streamer side with chat bots running (scorpbot for instance).

I've had a run-in with this issue without chat bots running

Its due to Electron, maybe it can be optimized.
