Question / Help Dropping a lot of frames.

[Bliz]

I've been streaming with my current settings for a couple months, no problem. Today I'm dropping as much as 80% frames on a still image. I was forced to switch from OBS studio 19.0.2 to OBS classic 0.659b, which ran just fine with no frame drops.

I checked the stream service and my internet, both are fine. Has there been a patch recently?

Any advice would be welcome, but please consider that my settings worked perfectly a couple of days ago.

I would really appreciate some assistance with this as it is ridiculous that OBS classic would outperform studio. I cannot use the program currently as it is dropping up to 97% of the frames when I am broadcasting NOTHING.

reaaaaally would appreciate even a little assistance.

You are way too many game capture devices in your scene.

Only one capture was actually running at the time. Do unused sources affect obs that badly?

That log barely shows any dropped frames.

You're right. I just checked all the logs from today's stream and none show many dropped frames, yet when starting the stream the program complained of 70-99% dropped frames and I was forced to stop and switch to my old obs. I did this three times before the program (obs studio) stopped complaining of dropped frames.
