Dropped Frames

[toza]

Hello OBS Forum!

I'm making this post because I'm at my wits end.. I've been streaming for about a year now and I've been experiencing heavy dropped frames due to network pretty much every day. I've searched high and low for answers and I'm completely out of gas.

Could someone assist me in finding an answer to this? I'm new to looking at OBS Logs.

You also have some Rendering Lag/GPU overload going on with the dropped frames. Load reduction is in order, see below
22:05:51.218: Output 'adv_stream': Total drawn frames: 619983 (620043 attempted)
22:05:51.218: Output 'adv_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 60 (0.0%)
22:05:51.219: Output 'adv_stream': Number of dropped frames due to insufficient bandwidth/connection stalls: 51097 (8.2%)
22:05:51.219: [rtmp stream: 'adv_stream'] Freeing 1 remaining packets
22:05:51.219: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 60/619969 (0.0%)

As far as the dropped frames go, head over to the support page for your mobo & update your network driver, it's stale. The new driver should eliminate the errors below.
19:13:37.338: [rtmp stream: 'adv_stream'] Interface has non-zero error counters (0/13 errors, 34212/0 discards)

You'll save some resources & may see some improvement in the rendering lag if you lower the Refresh Rate on your main monitor to 120 or 60HZ.

Turn Game Mode On

I missed the DVR stuff, disable it while you're enabling Game Mode.

19:04:29.109: Game Bar: On > Off
19:04:29.109: Game DVR: On > Off
19:04:29.109: Game DVR Background Recording: Off
19:04:29.109: Game Mode: Off > On

Thank you, rockbottom! I updated my network drivers to the most recent version and I also enabled game mode while disabling game bar.

Thank you for the recommendation of turning down my refresh rate, however, I will skip that step for now. I am mostly concerned about my network frames dropped at this time.
