Question / Help Bad colors while streaming?

[Suplewich]

So while I'm streaming on Twitch, I always get bad/dark colors but in-game it looks totally fine. I've tried to look up my issue with no luck. Can someone help me? I've tried all different encoders but it's not helping me. I'm running an i5-7600, 8GB of RAM and 1050ti with 6000 bitrate.

Bonus question: What would be the best encoder that gives the better in-game performance while having a good/great/etc quality?

You should've posted a log (as was explicitly posted at the top of the forums).

Side tip: if you messed with any of the settings in Settings->Advanced->Video, put them back.

I was about to but I accidently posted it before I did so. Here is the log: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5fd4027ed704ea42c33a3613098d854e

How deep is this darkness? If not so much and you using Rescale Output (when 709+Full Range), look at this thread: x264 Rescale Output, Over Saturating Colors

I can show you a clip or the video of the stream if you want.

Better post your Settings>Advanced.

It's in french but the YUV Color Range is on Full.

The "Gamme de couleurs YUV" set to "Partielle" and try again. Before modifying "Espace de couleur YUV" field make sure that web server and your editing software can handle it right (OBS Studio: Color Space, Color Format, Color Range settings Guide. Test charts.).

About encoders. HW ones has lower impact on system but always require high bitrates. You can compare visually the quality that can provide all hw based encoders at low bitrates there: Comparison of x264, NVENC, Quicksync, VCE.

I will try and set to Partial. Also, I'm sorry but what is HW?

 

[Suslik V]

hardware(HW) based encoder vs software(SW) based encoder.

Ah ok. Also it fixed the problem so thank you so much for that. Now I just need to, as I said, figure the right encoder for best quality while keeping good/great performance.
