Recently I moved to another house, which has only 2 bars of phone signal, and that's the only thing I think It's different from my old home, so I don't know if that's the case since I use Ethernet cable.

I have a stream schedule of 4~5 hours a day and ever since I moved I'm getting more than 10K frames dropped at the end of the stream with no visible reason.
I have a 10 Mbps Upload speed and my CPU Usage is not really high during the stream.

I tried absolutely every single thing the forum and people on internet recommend to do, so I'm almost sure it's not a software problem, since I also tried other softwares and streaming services.
I'm gonna let you guys with the logs from my last stream (16/07) and hope to someone find what my problem is.

Please guys, help me out with this. There's nothing worst than giving your best everyday and have people leaving cause of the frame dropping D:

What is the A:/ drive on your computer? A floppy disk drive? If so, don't put files on a floppy disk to read from. Access them from a hard drive for faster read.

Your stream output is set to 720p:
19:40:20.843: video settings reset:
19:40:20.843: base resolution: 1280x720
19:40:20.843: output resolution: 1280x720

You have your Avermedia resolution set 1920x1080: Change that to 1280x720.

19:40:23.063: [DShow Device: 'Avermedia'] settings updated:
19:40:23.063: video device: LGPLite Stream Engine

I have Avermedia installed as a separated scene, but I have not used for the last couple of weeks. I'm only playing a game on a 1280x720 window on my PC.
A: Is my main hard driver and C: I seted up for my SSD, but I can make everything run in C: if u think that can help.

The thing is, I didn't changed any of my settings before or after moving to my new house. Back then it was fine, but now I'm having those issues, and as I use ethernet cable conection, I don't think it's something with my internet. As I said, the only thing different is the location I'm in, which is almost a dead zone for phone signal, but Idk if it has something to do with streaming since my conection is directly from cable.

Before you upload the log, do this:

1) Open OBS
2) Begin an output session (either streaming or recording, whichever is causing your problem
3) Run the session until you observe your probelm
4) Stop the recording or streaming
5) Upload the log

If you do 5) before you've done 4) then the logfile is incomplete. The above logfile was created between steps #1 and #2; it contains the application starting, but no output session start or finish.

Oh I see. Sorry about that. I just finished my stream today with 1 hour long cause of the frame dropping like crazy :(
Here's the complete log for today's stream: https://obsproject.com/logs/IIcJgKu5vKsEgH68

Check and see if another restream ingest server would be better for you, or reduce bitrate.

You may also want to run TwitchTest just to get an idea of how well your internet connection is suited to streaming.
