Playclaw kind of worked half way decent, but it is still a significant hit, Dxtory/OBS or Dxtory/X-Split works really well, but you need to make sure you grab the 2.0.129 release or earlier of Dxtory as they changed something in the newer releases with crossfire and it causes performance to be about on par with just using the OBS MP game capture alone.

At one point in time you could do it with Mirrilis Action! via APP but they broke it. I have tried every single program out there to try and get it (crossfire streaming) to work, and that is it. I am sure one of these guys will hop in and say, 'look dude it can't be faster, your an idiot it is impossible!' but hey it is possible and I can prove it. Don't ask me why this is less resource intensive than just using the gamecapture in OBS, but it is by a large margin. Now in OBS you add a video capture device and select Dxtory Video 1.

Basically, you use Dxtory to capture the game footage (not record it), set the output to RAW and to Directshow. The fastest thing I found for using crossfire is to use OBS in conjunction with Dxtory. You seriously do not have to live with it, you can get it to work really nice, with zero stuttering and extremely minimal performance hit.
