Hi, great software! I got my stream up and running. I have watched my past broadcasts on twitch and it seems to be working fine but I noticed in the log file that it says

Total frames rendered: 74184, number of frames that lagged: 71352 (96.18%) (it's okay for some frames to lag)

Is this a bandwidth issue? I only have < 1mb upload. or is there something else I can do do fix it?

Streaming the LOTRO game directx 9 on Windows 8

Please update your OBS. Lagged frames mean a source is taking too long to generate frames.

Update, but also, what sources are you using? Seems like you're using game capture but I'm not entirely sure why it would be taking so long in scene->Preprocess as it does almost nothing there, so I have to assume that you have more than one source. What other sources do you have in the scene?

I updated the version and redid the sources and it is only 0.03% lagged now.

Yes I was using game capture and software capture and I was trying to have a fullscreen image to hide my desktop so I think i had

1. game capture
2. fullscreen image
3. software capture

I redid my sources when I realized that sources on the bottom appear on top of the other sources. This seems totally backwards and confusing to me.

Also im getting a 35.1% for "unaccounted" is that something to worry about?

it's not anything to worry about. Also those repeated messages are fine. everything looks good now. 2.5ms frame time.. that's quite fast :)
