Hey.

I've found a small stutter in my vods as well as on my OBS screen that I can't explain.
It is not massive, and it only really shows up when movement is fast like spinning the camera around. every 2 seconds it looks like it skips a few frames. (once I can get to my vods I will link an example, twitch is being weird atm)

Now I do believe this to be game related, or game related in correlation to OBS.
I've never had this issue before with any other game and can't reproduce it with any other game.

I'm running on 3.5k bitrate
45 fps
720p
Keyframe int: 2 seconds.
Encoding: Faster.

I changed all settings you see above to more intense or less intense and the problem is still there.
I'm convinced it is not a hardware issue. During casting with the above setting my CPU doesn't get above 25% load on any cores nor does it really go above 50 degrees Celsius.

Same thing with my GPU, not overheating not stressed.

I also remade the game capture and I'm using the latest version of OBS.

Maybe I'm seeing ghosts. but I can't figure it out.

The monitor capture is my chat, which is not even included in the scenes of my game.

Hard to say without seeing a video, but I don't recommend streaming at 45fps, because your frame timings will not be synced with the refresh rate of your monitor very well. I personally recommend staying with 30fps or 60fps, but not between. If you stream at 30fps, you'll have less load on your system and have a more consistent frame rate. I'm not sure if that will fix your issue, but it certainly can't hurt.

At 2:25:05 you tabbed out of the game. I'm guessing you were running the game in fullscreen mode, because when you tab out of fullscreen games, the game stop rendering. So I didn't see anything out of the ordinary at that section of the video.

Overall, I didn't see anything wrong with that video. Are you sure it's not just a Twitch buffering issue when viewers are watching live?

I see in your log you have a x264 custom setting set. Please remove it for testing. Didn't looked up how exactly the threads command works but just with guessing I guess it set up how many threads it should use, so 9 are more threads then your CPU (4 Cores with HT => 8 Threads) can offer.
