*** Sorry if I make grammar or other mistakes, english is not my native language :P ***

Hi guys, I'm recently learning to use OBS for streaming League of Legends and I'm having a bit of troubles in-game when I start streaming with the software. In other streaming apps this doesn't happen. I hope you could help me with this :)

So the thing is, when I start streaming and play matches, the game doesn't run as smooth as when i'm not streaming.. This didnt happened to me when I streamed with other streaming apps, as I said earlier.. I'm not sure what else I can change in the config in order to make it smoother. Its also important to notice that I don't have low FPS on the game. They are about 120-140, but still, the game doesn't run smooth

I'm posting images of my OBS configuration, so I would also appreciate any advice that you could give me, in order to optimize the quality of the stream.

Thank you :)

Post a log file too, please. You're using too high bitrate. With that upload there is no way to handle that. I'd try with 750 for both bitrate and buffer. Make sure you're using the lowest ping Twitch server. You can use JTVPing to measure it.

I'm a little concern that the speed shown on that image above its not my actual upload.. My internet plan provides me with 40Mbps download and 2Mbps upload supposedly..

Edit: Here's a test connection made with speedrun to a server of my country


And here is a test connection made with a server in L.A, California.. The place where is located the server where I have the best connection to.




Again, thanks for the help!

Could always try an alternate capture method as a workaround in the meantime. Enable aero again, make two scenes, one for when you're in lobby using monitor capture (not as a global source), and another for when in-game using window or game capture on the game window, and then just set hotkeys and switch between them. Monitor capture has somewhat less than ideal performance in windows 7 and below currently.

This is your solution. Using game capture while actually in game will have almost no impact on your in game performance.

Sorry, haven't been able to post, also was testing this answer

It really help me out, thank you so much. Just have one last cuestion; I'm thinking in having a special scene for every game, so I can change between scenes when i'm i'm desktop and when i'm playing. The thing is, if I have many game capture ''sources'' in one scene, would that affect the stream even if i'm playing only one game? (laggy, use more resources, etc)


Ex
I have in the scene "games" the source League of Legends, Counter strike, Skyrim, DOTA, etc.. But I use one at a time.

It's unnecessary to do this. You have to reselect the game you want to capture under Game Capture properties anytime you switch, anyway. I believe there are plans to make a hotkey for Game Capture to hook into the active game(or something like this, anyway) that would basically do exactly what you want without having to add multiple sources.
