Bitrate drops to 0 after opening game

[bigweeze]

Hi,

I have been testing my stream on Twitch. It seems fine when loading a picture/etc (green square), but when running a game the red square will appears and the bitrate drops to 0. Once the game is closed, the bitrate will increase again and the square returns to green. I tried lowering graphics settings and disabling Game Mode.

Any help would be appreciated, I've attached the log here:

Thanks!

1. In many cases, wireless connections can cause issues because of their unstable nature. Streaming really requires a stable connection. Often wireless connections are fine, but if you have problems, the first troubleshooting step would be to switch to wired. We highly recommend streaming on wired connections.
2. Run OBS as Admin
3. At least one of your audio devices has a sample rate that doesn't match the rest. This can result in audio drift over time or sound distortion. Check your audio devices in Windows settings (both Playback and Recording) and ensure the Default Format (under Advanced) is consistent. 48000 Hz is recommended.
OBS Sample Rate: 44100 Hz
Speakers (Realtek(R) Audio): 48000 Hz
Microphone Array (Realtek(R) Audio): 48000 Hz

To fix this go to OBS Settings --> Audio --> General --> Change Sample Rate to 48 kHz [Apply] [OK]

Hello everyone. I recently installed the latest version of OBS on two computers because I play from one and strim from the other via the NDI plugin. Everything was ok but after a few days today, every time I had a bitrate drop to 0 after 30 minutes or after an hour of strimming. I forgot that on the old version of OBS I had the problem of getting a black screen and the same solution I used for the falling bitrate and it works namely : add obs exe in windows graphics options and select power plan to save power, the same thing I did when I had the problem of black screen during strim. I did so on both computers and it works normally bitrate does not drop. Also, I changed the server in both OBS to the one in my country to the same. With me this solution works, on the old version the image would go black and the new version the bitrate drops to 0. You just have to set "Power Saving" on OBS exe in "Graphics performance preference" in Windows options. If you are striming to two computers you need to set it that way on each of them.

it works for me perfectly

this is not correct advice and not relevant to the issue involved.

Chances are the lenovo software has enabled the network booster which is known to break things.
It's covered in the connection issues guide.

The chosen graphics processor for running obs on has no direct bearing on how well it connects to the internet.
No I'm not a russian troll.
