Hi,
I got my fibre internet installed today (75 Mbps down, 17 Mbps up) so I was excited to start streaming some CS:GO, having a slight issue though. When I tested the stream earlier today I found out that 1080p @ 30 fps without downscaling was a bit too stressful on my PC, apparent from the decrease in FPS when in-game. After fiddling about a bit, I downscaled it to 1280x720 and upped it to 60 fps and that seemed fine to play on - my FPS was high enough and stable, no trouble whatosever.
However, those streams were only to test out the quality and get a feel for whether it was playable or not so they were pretty short sessions (10-15 mins). Tried streaming whilst playing an actual competitive game afterwards (about 45-60 minute session) and after some time my FPS would drop significantly, from a stable ~150 to ~25, for about 10 seconds and would then return to normal. That would then keep happening every 2-3 minutes.
Just played a ~35 minute session on deathmatch to try and replicate the issue (and get a log file) and sure enough at about the 30 minute mark it happened again, then again 2 minutes later and then again about 4 minutes later at which point I closed the game and stopped the stream. Here's the log from that session:
Ran it through the automatic log checker and got this:
Second one seemed strange because the JTVPing application tells me my ping to London is 25ms.
Sorry for the lengthy post anyway, hope someone can help!
