Suspicous or error entries in your log:
1. Game DVR: On
2. bitrate: 3000
buffer size: 2500
keyint: 119
3. Number of dropped frames due to insufficient bandwidth/connection stalls: 10948 (33.0%)
4. Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 10777/33366 (32.3%)
Now my suggestions for that:
1. open Win10 system settings and go to Games and disable GameDVR (or google how to disable it via registry).
2. Usually you should have buffer size = bitrate and keyint = 2x fps. So make sure fps is set to 30 or 60 and keyframe every 2 seconds (should result in keyint = 60 or 120 and not 119).
3. Your upload or the connection to twitch can't handle your setting...you dropped 33% of your frames due to bandwith problems. If you have 3.000kbp/s Upload, you can't reach 3000kbit/s Bitrate for video. You need headroom and you will have audio bitrate on top of that. Suggestion: Set 70% of your real upload speed (maybe 2100kbit/s in this case) for video.
4. Your CPU can not handle the load. Here are four options to reduce CPU load (ordered by my recommendation)
- lower OBS framerate to 30
- lower your OBS resolution
- switch x264 preset from very fast to super fast or tr Quicksync
