Question / Help Encoding Overloaded

I cam on chaturbate and I use OBS. For the past two nights I keep on getting a message in the corner saying "encoding Overloaded". This is the first time this has happened and I've tried many different ways to fix it such as lowering my resolution, restarting my computer, and restarting my router but to no avail. I was able to skype my friend with no issue but the minute I start streaming the broadcast is choppy or even frozen. The log file is https://obsproject.com/logs/1fF2gq84ZTyOaP28

you could try setting your base resolution and output resolution and C920 to 720p and use as encoder quicksync. If that doesn't work provide a log of that settings.

It looks like you try to push a too high bitrate. Lower the bitrate to 4000 kbps or lower.

It still says 10000kbps as far as I see.
Also, it could possibly be an RTMP error, but I really don't know.

Check that you aren't changing the recording settings instead of the streaming settings. Streaming bitrate is specified 14 different times in this logfile, and each time it is 10000.

03:54:47.823: [qsv encoder: 'simple_h264_stream'] settings:
03:54:47.823: rate_control: CBR
03:54:47.823: target_bitrate: 10000


Also... wireless is really not good for streaming.

from the fact that it does work and sometimes not, i would say the internet connection can handle it, but the wifi is the problem

Yeah I just read a forum saying that a wired connection is better. Would using an ethernet cable work?

Oh I thought I did change it. Where can I change the bitrate?
