Question / Help Bitrate dropping to 0 OBS freezes

[8bitjosh]

So lately (for the last month or so) I've been having an issue where my bitrate will fluctuate wildly jumping from my set bitrate of 4000 to as much as 10,000 and all the way down to 0. Once it hits zero I have to restart the stream as it doesn't ever go back up. The weird thing is when I stop the stream in OBS, OBS will freeze and I have to force shut it down in task manager. I just updated to the most recent version (25.0.4) as of April 7th

I've tried everything in the Dropped frames/disconnecting/lag? Read this first! thread so I'm a bit lost at this point. I have attached the log from the stream when the issue occurred. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

According to your logfile, the bandwidth starts fluctuating, then your network connection dies. Nothing OBS can do if there's no route to the server.

Have you checked your connection with R1ch's Twitch Bandwidth Tester? You want a Quality score of at least 80, preferring 100.

Thanks for the reply! Yeah I used that to check my connection. I normally connect to the closest server that has a score of 100. I tested another server that was a little farther away but still had a score of 88 just to see if there would be any change and there wasn't, the experience was the same.

I have exactly the same Issue.

Turn off dynamic bitrate.

Schalten Sie die dynamische Bitrate aus.
[/ZITAT]
Dann habe ich extreme Frameverluste.

Where is the congestion coming from? local use, ISP or TWITCH?
