Bug Report Dropped Frames really fast?

[ItsKens]

Just wondering if its normal for the dropped frames to just pile up super fast and if not whats the problem?

Dropped frames means your network isn't capable of maintaining the Bitrate and Buffer you have set. What's your upload speed?

 

[ItsKens]

upload is usually 11+

Corrected..Im now doing the speed test from Virginia server same as twitch server. Getting 8

You should generally keep your bitrate and buffer the same for technical reasons. I'd try dropping your bitrate to 2000 and then moving both up a bit at a time if that works fine and you're not satisfied with the quality.
