Hey, I've recently started using OBS and I have a single glaring issue with it, the connection keeps ranging from 0kb/s to about 1.7MB, Anyone know the reason for this? I'm not lagging in the game, nor am I lagging while I watch OBS during a stream, but the connection will drop and rise from red to green.

How very odd. You're actually streaming at a bitrate far lower than what your connection is capable of and still you drop quite a considerable portion of your frames. I'd try a different Twitch.tv server for starters, if I were you.

Hm, What bitrate would you say I should record at? And I tried US West SF, Did that, Then I tried LA, Same thing, Same with the secondary server for LA. Keeps dropping and rising. Hm, I just ran it as admin, I'm only getting 150kb/s but it doesn't seem to be dropping anymore. Staying green.

That is so weird. Let's just try resetting OBS. Who knows what's up with it for you?... ;)

Click Start, click Run, type: %AppData%\OBS, hit <Enter>

This will open OBS' configuration/log folder. Empty it (without OBS running, obviously).

Open OBS again, it will have reset completely. Set it up again but don't touch any advanced stuff or stuff you don't fully understand. Regarding your bitrate: I don't any reason why you couldn't just stream at CBR @ 2000 Kbps.

Sounds like your connection is unstable. Try running a long upload / download and monitoring the throughput stability.
