Question / Help Dropped frame help

[ocpathink]

We stream a 30 minute news-style show each weekday. For months we had zero dropped frames, but for the last week or so we've had an average of 25% dropped. Any help is appreciated. Latest log is attached. We stream to Facebook and YouTube through Restream most days. Yesterday's show was just to Facebook to see if it helped with the dropped frames.

Thanks!

No stream attempt in the log.

Also the latest release is 21.1.1.

Thanks. Here is today's log with stream. We'll update to the newest release to see if that helps.

12:56:21.758: Output 'simple_stream': Total frames output: 21042 (23272 attempted)
12:56:21.758: Output 'simple_stream': Total drawn frames: 14000 (23324 attempted)
12:56:21.758: Output 'simple_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 9324 (40.0%)
12:56:21.758: Output 'simple_stream': Number of dropped frames due to insufficient bandwidth/connection stalls: 2230 (9.6%)

Your GPU isn't able to render frames fast enough, meaning you need to either lower resolution or framerate. Looking at the number of sources in each scene it may also be that your scenes are too complex to be rendered in time for compression.

There are also a very large number of missing files included in scenes and JSON errors, indicating possibly corrupted scenes that could cause performance and stability problems.

Thanks for the help! We had a month or two with no dropped frames on the same machine, running the same scenes, etc. That's what I was confused on why it started dropping frames now. We'll try to fix it using your suggestions.
