Hi guys,

So I'll attach the Log at the bottom, but basically this is my issue. OBS runs fine for like 5 minutes or so then drops to like 30FPS and drops frames like crazy. Then it disconnects, reconnects, and does the same thing. I really don't know what the hell I'm doing with this and I need some help!

well you're receiving a winsock error (FD_CLOSE 10053, this means WSAECONNABORTED, or basically the connection was aborted by winsock because of software). Make sure OBS is allowed through your antivirus/firewall/windows firewall.

If you have windows firewall you would go to Control Panel. Systems and security. Firewall. Advanced Settings on the left hand side. Outbound rules. and hit new rule. Make sure the rule gives OBS complete outbound/inbound access.

If you have an antivirus with a firewall built in add an exception to inbound/outbound OBS.

Do you have a router/modem or just a modem when you connect to the internet? its possible the port is blocked for twitch.tv servers because a fd_close 10053 can also mean that the remote host was not contacted so the connection was closed. To fix this you would have to add a port forward rule on your routers control panel for 1935 TCP port.

If you're on University Internet then its possible they just block the connection on that port. I'd check your firewall settings first and make sure the outbound application has a connection rule set to allow. Otherwise there really isn't anything you can do if you're on university internet because the rules are set up by the IT. I mean you could ask them to open that port I suppose. Very unlikely they would do it though. You can also use a virtual private network proxy. Can you view twitch.tv videos/streams though?

Also a lot of university networks limit your bandwith after a certain point of uploading/downloading something sometimes because if everyone was using the same bandwith the network would be extremely bogged down.

run http://netalyzr.icsi.berkeley.edu/index.html and post the results.

You don't need to open any ports or anything, this doesn't appear to be a firewall issue. Your connection appears to stop sending data for 18 seconds, at which time OBS is dropping all frames and eventually Twitch disconnects you (the 10053) since you weren't sending any stream for so long.

Try changing servers, turn off minimize network impact and remove any 3rd party firewall / security software which might interfere with proper network operation.

Ok I turned off the "minimize network impact" and I don't have any 3rd party firewall. I've tried switching servers but now the application keeps crashing. I'm sorry for being so difficult haha.
