Hello.
So, i saw that there are lots of people having problems with their streams but the answers in these threads did not really help me.
That's why i thought i'd create a own thread about my issue.
First of all, here is my latest log that should provide you with all the PC spec informations and settings i am using.
That was just a small testing of streaming the game Fifa13.
So, i know that my PC isn't that good and that i am probably not able to have a really high quality while streaming, but what i experienced was a little bit odd due to the fact that i already streamed like Fifa12 a while back but back then i used the "Livestream.com" broadcaster and their website - also i streamed World of Warcraft some time ago, even with a worst PC then i own now, and that worked aswell, so there should be some way to stream with this setup - right?
I tried setting the stream up for games like CS 1.6, Path of Exile, Fifa13 and ArmA2 (Wasteland/DayZ)
While ArmA2 will be a tough one the other games shouldnt be that much of a problem, but while trying around it was always a bad and choppy result. In some cases the game was unplayable aswell, in others it was perfectly fine.
Is there anyone able to help me find the right settings to have a decent stream? Would be awesome.
My upload capactiy btw. is about 2.5mbit if that helps - but i think that is actually not the issue here.
Thanks.
