Hi,

you have the following errors in the log

02:30:58.676: Output 'simple_stream': Number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 7336 (27.7%)
02:30:58.676: Output 'simple_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 70 (0.3%)
02:30:58.676: Output 'simple_stream': Number of dropped frames due to insufficient bandwidth/connection stalls: 529 (2.0%)

these are related to two things, the first two are related to encoding / rendering lag which are usually cpu related so try dropping the cpu preset from veryfast to superfast.

also in your video settings (see below) your outputting to 852x480 change this back to 720p or 1080p depending what output you want, if its just for the steam then 720p.

02:13:14.232: video settings reset:
02:13:14.232: base resolution: 1920x1080
02:13:14.232: output resolution: 852x480
02:13:14.232: downscale filter: Lanczos
02:13:14.232: fps: 30/1
02:13:14.232: format: NV12

the third log issue is related to bandwidth so run the twitch bandwidth tool using 64k tcp, 30s duration and look for a ingress twitch server with a quality of 80+ or check to ensure the one you are steaming to has this. Also ensure that your internet upload has 2.4mb minimium

Okay, so for the most part I understand. But, I do not understand the whole bandwidth portion. What is "Twitch Bandwidth Tool" and "using 64k tcp".

and "ingress twitch server with a quality of 80+"

can you explain these to me please?

In this log you have a lot of encoding lag
15:33:06.356: Output 'simple_stream': Number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 2434236653 (63.8%)

You are running OBS 32 bits.
Run 64 bits: copy shortcut and edit to hook 64 bits version

OR
Try using NVENC:
=============
My case: (Core2Quad Q6600 and GTX750TI):
- VIDEO settings rescale to 1280x720x30 fps Lanczos https://gyazo.com/71bed7ef37a62c40131eed1a636dc471 (ESP)
https://gyazo.com/9ec70ea3449399112cc737f945351d23 (ENG)
- OUTPUT settings NVENC NO RESCALING, profile high, lowlatency high quality https://gyazo.com/58b7a27753b843f4a525cc8b7d4e4640 (ESP)
https://gyazo.com/a2036bbc9905ec7e72853bf3e347178d (ENG)

A quick test with these settings: https://www.twitch.tv/jlbgamer007/v/103002091
Same video in Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3kJLHZOJg8

(Note: dark colors maybe produced by choosing YUV 709 and color full. Back to 601 and partial (previous test were not so dark -ADVANCED settings-) Previous test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cW_wtT-kxH8
YUV full: https://gyazo.com/1c7c8815d0d6126872bfd52d302ab5e8
YUV partial: https://gyazo.com/9fe315b23684e3cce6e665c4ab0b551b

This should work fine for you.
Better quality: rise bitrate to 3500
=============
