Hello everyone,

I will try to keep this short and concise and to the point for you all. So I've been streaming for over a year now, and haven't really experienced ANY dropped frames through OBS Studio until maybe last Friday, or Thursday(the 28th). But no matter what I do, I keep getting more and more dropped frames. It's usually only for a few seconds but it's driving me wild. I've increased the Bitrate, and decreased the Bitrate. I use to stream at 2800 like way back, then I bumped up to 3200 when the affiliate program rolled out, and then since they removed the limitations on the ingestion servers and such, I bumped it to 4500. Now, that might seem like over kill. But I had zero issues until last week, and I haven't ever experienced dropped frames.

So, I tried switch servers, Chicago is large and by far the best server for me, quality is at 100. Over 10,000+kbps, and 33 RTT. It should be totally fine. Then on top of that, I've reset the steam key, and as of today switched over to Gigabyte Internet. And I know speed tests don't really account for too much, but I do get 800+ down and 18-20 up. So no issues there either. I spoke with my ISP and they didn't seem to think there was any issue on my end.

I'm just looking for some help. I know some other people are experiencing it too, and they live in other states than I do, so we've all come to the conclusion that it's Twitch's end, but I just want to be sure.

In a effort to help sort this out, I provided my last Twtich Stream Log from OBS Studio.

Again, any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!!

The log shows a problem with your internet connection to twitch (insufficient bandwidth/connection stalls).
Maybe your upload can't handle the bitrate spikes, or there is a problem with your internet provider.

And the amount of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls is also suspicious. It seems that the GPU is too busy with your game (maybe you play games without 60fps cap?).
Although from my experience, I can also increase my lagged frames quiet easily, by just switching between scenes, without even playing a game.

@BK-Morpheus I'm not very good at reading the logs myself, but that's one I've pinned it down to. Which is crazy to me because of my connection to the Chicago server through OBS Studio and Twitch. And my upload is around 20 so I really don't know how the connection is bad. I guess I can call my ISP again..they said I shouldn't have any connection issues the last time. If I can, I typically cap the frame rate at 60fps-70fps when streaming through the game options, but of course, not all games allow me to do so.

So you think it could also be because I have too many scenes? I have 5. I didn't think that would be a real issue. Thank you for the help!!

@Harold I've looked at that page probably 50+ times, and have tried almost every suggestion they make. Not even kidding :( Thanks for the help though!
