Hello helpful people.

I've just tried streaming with OBS, but I keep experiencing constant frame drop every 4-5 seconds.
My internet is: 25/25
I've also tried using the newer version.

Here's my log file:

Thank you in advance! :)

I also posted this in the Bug Reports section as mistake, delete that if needed.

Most of the streams on Twitch are unwatchable right now. Just watched iNcontroL stream, like five minutes ago (It lagged like every 3-4 seconds).

- So I don't think it's your internet connection or computer causing the frame drops.
