Some of these may not seem stream related but do them anyway.
1. You are running an old version of OBS Studio (32.0.1). Please update to version 32.0.2 or newer by going to Help -> Check for updates in OBS or by downloading the latest installer from the
downloads page and running it.
2. The Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling ("HAGS") feature in Windows is currently known to cause performance and capture issues with OBS, games and overlay tools. If you are having issues with performance or OBS freezing, we recommend disabling it via
these instructions as a troubleshooting step.
3. In Windows, we recommend that "Game Mode" be enabled for maximum gaming performance. Game Mode can be enabled via the Windows "Settings" app, under Gaming > Game Mode.
4. Audio buffering hit the maximum value. This can be an indicator of very high system load and may affect stream latency or cause individual audio sources to stop working. Keep an eye on CPU usage especially, and close background/unnecessary programs if needed. Occasionally, this can be caused by incorrect device timestamps. Restart OBS to reset buffering.

5. The encoder is skipping frames because of GPU overload. Read about troubleshooting tips in our
GPU Overload Guide.
6. Your log contains streaming sessions with dropped frames. This can only be caused by a failure in your internet connection or your networking hardware.
It is not caused by OBS but OBS can help. Use
TwitchTest to make sure you are connecting to the best Twtich server for your location. Before you start streaming, go to Settings, Advanced, Network, enable Dynamically change bitrate... [Appl] [OK]
