I still can not stream Dota 2 at 720p 60fps, even after doubling my upload speed. Now I am on wifi, but my upload is over 4 times the bitrate I am trying to stream at.

Your internet speeds won't matter when it comes to dropping frames if your connection isn't stable

I would rate my connection as stable. I can sustain my max download rate of 3MBps for hours if I need to. I am betting though that with wifi uploading in general is just not possible.

not entirely sure, you're dropping a fair number of frames, could be the wifi. not sure. you might have to adjust your bitrate to compensate for that. you could also try out the "send buffer" in advanced and see if any of the values there help you out at all.

So i hooked up my computer with an ethernet cable (after much moving) and I am stilling dropping frames. I tried every value under send buffer, including turning it off, and it still dropping frames the same way as it did in the op. Think this could be an issue with my isp? ( I also dropped my bitrate down to 2000 and it did not help)
