Has anyone found a successful way to stream dwarf fortress without it killing the FPS down to around 20 from 200. I currently am trying to use procaster but the fps drops to almost unplayable levels. If anyone knows a working way to stream the game without it lagging to hell please let me know it would be very much appreciated.

An insane child kills the remaining group of spine injured dwarfs shortly before starving to death himself. Thus ended Weightknives. May the souls of the fallen rest in every level of Armok's 1000 hells.

I cant say I've ever actually tried to stream DF, but Manycam is relatively light weight and might be what you're looking for.

The problem, I fear, is really with Procaster.

Oh sweet. Manycam worked when paired with u-stream. Thank you. =) Also I was trying to prevent some elf traders from entering my fortress but wasn't ready when they arrived and they desecrated my amazing fortress. In response to this I cleansed my fortress of the dirty elf's by breaching my magma vent and flooding the entire thing. All while streaming to a few friends.
