Hi I have been having this issue for the past few weeks. I feel as though I have done everything under the sun to try and fix it. So much research. Yes my ISP has been out and I followed that main guide that everyone links in this fourm. Here are my logs to be inspected. Any help is appreciated.

Yes.

18:13:21.388: Output 'adv_stream': Number of dropped frames due to insufficient bandwidth/connection stalls: 8903 (5.9%)

Your network connection seems to be having trouble keeping up with your bitrate. You should check that you don't have firewall software that is limiting your network performance, or possibly contact your ISP, and double-check using TwitchTest that you're using the best ingest server for you.

Other items of note:

17:33:39.582: adding 23 milliseconds of audio buffering, total audio buffering is now 69 milliseconds
17:36:02.964: adding 23 milliseconds of audio buffering, total audio buffering is now 92 milliseconds
17:38:31.176: adding 23 milliseconds of audio buffering, total audio buffering is now 116 milliseconds


Increasing audio buffering is usually a sign that a system is being overloaded.

17:31:18.605: Loaded scenes:
17:31:18.605: - scene 'Scene':
17:31:18.605: A sprite cannot be drawn without a width/height
17:31:18.605: - source: 'Display Capture' (monitor_capture)
17:31:18.605: - source: 'Game Capture' (game_capture)
17:31:18.605: - source: 'Sub Goal' (browser_source)
17:31:18.605: - source: 'Alert Box' (browser_source)
17:31:18.605: - source: 'Video Capture Device' (dshow_input)


You've got a display capture, a game capture, and a video capture device in the same scene. I can't tell if the video capture device is a webcam or not. You definitely should not have a game capture and a display capture in the same scene as they interfere with one another. If that source is a capture card, you should have separate scenes/scene collections for those items. Just hiding the items doesn't stop them from operating.

System being Overloaded that's weird.... I just upgraded to a Ryzen 2600x, 16g 3200 Ram and a GTX 1070 so I could stream. During this log the only thing open was OBS and 1 google chrome tab. I will move the display capture to another scene tonight. I guess last thing would be to have my ISP come out to my place again.

The amount of buffering there isn't huge-- it usually happens when the system can't keep up with something that's going on. But some logs I see show that going up a lot higher than what you've got there.

What kind of results do you get from TwitchTest?

I've done the (Long 1 or 2 mins) Option twitch test with 3 servers that are close to me. All came back like 96-100 quality with 20-28ms

I'm at the point where I almost want to just wipe my whole computer and start from scratch. I feel as though I have tried everything. Changed my DNS to Google. ISP came out. Updated network drivers and router. Bought new Ethernet cables. I've tried shutting off my firewall and antivirus. Allowing 1935 TCP to pass or whatever. Tried being directly plugged into my modem to see if it is the router.
