DOR uses low-overhead background capture, so the impact is minimal. If it still struggles, switch to 720p/30fps mode in settings.
Sid Meier's Civilization VI records as a black screen in fullscreen
DOR captures fullscreen, windowed and borderless modes alike, none of the fullscreen black-screen issues common with OBS.
Will a recorder get my Sid Meier's Civilization VI account banned?
DOR only captures the screen and never touches the game client, so it doesn't conflict with Sid Meier's Civilization VI's anti-cheat.

In DOR Studio you can merge clips and add text and background music to string the key parts together.

DOR is free and adds no watermark.
