Question / Help Dropped Stream

I understand normally there will be a specific thing causing dropped frames or that the internet is to blame for dropped frames, but I have tried everything to fix OBS's dropped frames. The issue I am having, is my hardware and internet can stream just fine using XSplit or Shadow Play. Neither of those will drop frames or the stream. I have done it for multiple streaming services also. I would really like to use OBS, but it just isn't working.
I'm currently running Windows 8.1 if that matters.

I've used both San Fran and LA with the same issue on OBS

I also was trying 1080 at first, that was the reason for the higher bitrate

I see. I dont get why Dallas and Miami are failing for you (thats just odd). are the results that you get here consistant if you run it multiple times? as for the two Cali ingests?
 
Yes, the Cali ones are the same speed and go between 78-97 RTT. Miami and Dallas started to work, I head someone say at least the Miami server was having issues today.

Run a longer test. I'm honestly lost on what to tell you, you could try disabling the option that OBS uses to sense the network connection. for some reason I'm blanking on what the option is called, but I believe its udner the advanced tab at the bottom :S
 
The longer test brings the RTT up a little bit. Sits closer to 105. The quality goes down a little bit also.
 
I'll try to do that today and see if I can get it working, just found the setting I think you are talking about. Also going to bring the bit rate down and try 720 at 2100 ish and see how that works. Thanks for your time at least. It seems like such a weird issue to only happen with obs

the option is called "disable TCP send window optimization". this is not something standard that is done but you can try. I double it will help since I honestly think that it is an issue between your ISP and twitch ingests (which get a lot of traffic).
I would almost bed that xsplit has a lower bitrate set than OBS does and is why you didn't see it there.
