I recently started playing Call to Arms: Ostfront with a friend and wanted to stream it, but I've noticed that after about an hour of gameplay, my whole PC's frame rate drops significantly. It gets so bad that moving the mouse becomes nearly impossible. Interestingly, when I stream the game on Discord or Twitch, it runs smoothly with my frame rate staying above 40. This issue only happens with this game, and I can't figure out what's causing it. My setup includes a 4070 Ti GPU, a Ryzen 9 5900 CPU, and 32GB of RAM.

It sounds like your PC might be overheating. Poor airflow can definitely cause performance issues after extended gaming, likely impacting your PC's overall responsiveness instead of just the game's visuals.
Wouldn't overheating also affect the stream's frame rate? My friends see it just fine when I stream.
I'll check the temperatures again. I installed a new heat sink to manage my CPU temps, and things have been fine since then.
