0 kbps after turning off enhanced broadcasting

I've been streaming from the same PC that I play games on ever since I started. Can't afford dedicated stream PC yet. While using a capture card to stream my PS5 for a few of my games, I decided to test out enhanced broadcasting. Worked great up until I decided to switch back to other games on my PC. If the games are to graphically intense even on low settings, either OBS freaks out and lags (literally, can't click buttons, frames drop, bit rate starts fluctuating) or both OBS and the game lags. I streamed Baldur's Gate 3 at near max settings before enhanced broadcasting was available.

Simple fix for this issue: Turn off enhanced broadcasting.

Now the real issue. OBS no longer sends out anything. Twitch inspector sees there is a "stream" but registers 0 kbps and records no data to troubleshoot. OBS shows 0 kbps consistently. It even says it's streaming fine with no dropped frames. All my base stream settings are still default (vid: 6000 kbps, aud: 160 kbps, etc...) I've reinstalled OBS, safe mode, removed plug-ins (only 2, streamelements and atrium vertical) same thing every time after i turn enhanced broadcasting on and then back off.

The only work around I have found for this is to leave enhanced broadcasting on and only play low quality graphics games. This isn't a fix though.

I know I should post a log. I will when I'm back at my PC later today.

Please post a log with your issue! Here's how...

OBS Studio creates a log file each time you run it which contains very useful diagnostic information. Without a log file, it's much harder for any support volunteers to figure out problems and your post may be ignored. To upload a log file, go to the Help menu > Log Files > Upload Last Log...

Do not ignore unclean shutdowns. Open OBS in safe mode and see if it works normally. If so, one or more of the plugins are causing the issues. If not, then you have a log file to look into further issues within OBS itself.

Thank you for your reply and patience. I did exactly this and it worked fine. Narrowed it down to an outdated Aitum Vertical plugin through trial and error. Updated it and now all is right with the world. Didn't make sense to me that it would have anything to do with encoding issues but alas, my assumption was false.

Your signature is very fitting in this case.
