It would have been MUCH easier to directly connect to the projector from PC #1, but its just not possible (details I wont bore you with). PC #2 displays text, songs to the projectors and video as well.

You say that both of your PC's have 2 x IP cards one used for capture and the other used for "streaming".
Forgive me again. When you say "streaming" do you actually mean what is the accepted definition of "streaming"... that is when you are running some kind of encoding software that takes a video signal - encodes it - and then streams that out to some other computer. What you seem to variously be referencing is when you simply take the output of the IP and "display" that on a projector.
I've got a sneaky suspicion that if you shared your entire signal path and what you are trying to achieve another solution might be available.
For instance when you mention things like this:
PC #2 displays text, songs to the projectors and video as well. Which is another thing I will have to figure out; is how to work with the projector software(text) and coming up with a way to display video.
What it sounds like is you really need to be using a switcher - something like the ATEM TVS - and using the Luma Key function to overlay the text on top of the video.
I could be wrong... but I really do feel I am missing an essential part of the picture.
