Hey, I'm sort of new to streaming and I'm using Game Capture to stream WoW. My upload from speedtest.net is 2mb/s while I'm setting my OBS rates at 1200kb/s (started at 1600 then slowly turned it down). The problem I'm experiencing atm is constant buffering when I stream from twitch. People are telling me that it would stream for ~30s fine, then buffer for like 10s, then another 30s, then buffer for another 10s. What can I do to fix this?
My logs from my latest session is:
If there's anymore info you need, lemme know, thanks.
After asking around, apparently this is happening to other streams too, so is this a twitch thing?
My logs from my latest session is:

If there's anymore info you need, lemme know, thanks.
After asking around, apparently this is happening to other streams too, so is this a twitch thing?
