Question / Help Auto Reconnect Timeout Setting Does Not Save

[WinterSC]

I have been using the auto reconnect timeout at 0 seconds for the past several weeks to keep the stream online with a shaky ISP connection. A couple days ago I had to change twitch servers and the setting reset to the default 5 seconds, which means every ISP hiccup it is taken online and attempts to reconnect. I have tried manually resetting the value to 0, applying and saving settings, but every time it defaults back to 5 the next time settings is opened or the stream comes online.

I am currently using the latest version of OBS.

Reconnecting too often or too fast generally isn't a good idea. I could probably change the minimum reconnect time though.

Yeah, it's the only way I can keep the stream from going offline when my ISP has a hiccup. Otherwise it goes offline 1-2 times every few hours, and loses a lot of viewers and is overall very annoying :P

Okay I will change the minimum to 0 then for the next version. However do try to get a better internet connection. It's still going to annoy the heck out of viewers regardless.

Thank you, right now my ISP has a monopoly in the area but I plan on getting a dedicated line in the near future.

The new version will be out in the next few days. In the mean time you might have to wait until then

That's alright, thanks for the quick response and changes :)
