Bug Report Extreme stream-lag

Hi!

So I discovered OBS today via reddit (http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends ... here_is_a/) and thought I'd give it a shot, if I can stream with even less lag than I have right now, why not?

Setup was all good, no errors whatsoever, starting stream, still looks fine, but as soon as I go in-game (tried both WoW and LoL) the stream-FPS just goes out of the window. I've tried basically everything (that I know of atleast, that's why I'm posting here): running as admin, disabling aero, restarting program, restarting computer, changing resolution, quality, etc.
Computer specs are: Windows 7 32-bit, AMD 9650BE @3,4ghz (stock), ATI 6870HD, 4gigs of RAM (essentially 3,25 because of 32-bit OS) and my upload-speed is supposed to be 10mbps (I believe they throttle it when I try to stream though, but anything less than 1,5mbps works just fine in xsplit and ffsplit).


Thanks alot in advance!

There's all of them, hope I got this right now :p

Seemed like you were getting a lot of lagged frames, and getting a lot of frame drops. First, for the frame drops, upgrade to 0.452a. For the lagged frames, there are a few possibilities. What sources were you using that cause 100% lagged frames?

I tried Software Capture, DXtory, ffsplit (I believe it was this one that didn't work whatsoever, just red screen - could have something to do with the fact that ffsplit wasn't actually open).

If you're using software capture, monitor capture requires that aero be off before using. (Make sure to restart the app when you do that). Not sure about dxtory. You could also try game capture as well. If you try software capture, try out window capture. Usually tends to be a lot better.

I did try turning off aero before (haven't really experimented after getting 0.452a though) and it was the same result. But will try that again along with window capture tomorrow and come back with results, thanks.

EDIT: Just tested it out real quick and it seems to be working quite nicely now! Now all that's left to do is tweak quality and whatnot, see if i can perhaps stream 1080p, or 720 with 60fps! Thanks a lot for your help, Jim.
