Question / Help Dropping 94% of Frames - but not what you think

So I use OBS to stream League of Legends mostly to Twitch - Pre-game, in champ select etc, everything is fine, no frame drops, no lag, 6% max CPU usage.

As soon as the game loads up - it immediately drops 94% of frames, even if i close the game back to the client - still continues to drop frames. but still about 6% usage on CPU - and about 50% usage on the RAM.

If i stream to YouTube gaming - i get the same issue - but only about 64% of frames drop.

I have checked servers are closed and best ping. uninstalled OBS and installed latest version that does the Auto Detect set-up jazz. to no avail...

Do es any one have any suggestions?


Thanks
:)

Harold - Thank you - i have, however, been through that to no avail - it seems odd that it only happens when the game starts though - and i cant find an guides about frame drops at certain times - it all seems to be a generalization of frame drops.

yep - but ONLY when the game starts, in Champ select/pre game lobby before the game starts, - basically the client is fine - no drops at all (forgive me, im unsure how familiar you are with League of Legends) but even if i then close the main game after i see the drop, to return to the client, the drop continues and i have to restart the stream in order to cease the frame drop.

It sounds like you might have a router applying QoS or doing other traffic management that is prioritizing the game over OBS.

Thats what i initially thought - but after some checks, ( i work for my BB provider) the router and service has no such restriction - however - i have an ASUS motherboard and thought it might be the "gamer first" setting - so i disabled it and still get the above result.

Running any kind of antivirus or other security software?

OBS itself can't really cause something like this, it's just calling your system's networking functions and letting them handle it.

You can see Jim's post here: https://gist.github.com/jp9000/5793a3f4ae15913c858913d6a00824b7

Not trying to dismiss the issue, just explaining that this is going to be something outside of OBS and it will be very difficult for us to track given our limited visibility.

I appreciate that its likely outside of OBS - but OBS works fine streaming anything until the game starts - would the logs help at all?

Hm... Probably not, but try this just to see if it helps

Go to Settings -> Advanced and scroll down to the network section. Check both the new network code and low latency options and see if that makes a difference.

Then, if it still happens, stop the stream and do Help -> Log Files -> Upload Current Log
