Get rid of all that and turn Constant Frame Rate on (i.e. Yes). Then try again, and if there's still problems post a new log file with at least 5 minutes of high action streaming.

Move monitor capture out of that scene and use this plugin to automatically switch to monitor capture when you need your desktop to be captured. viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1785

Also one thing that you could do to help with performance is use the 64bit version of OBS (you can find that in start menu) and lower the bitrate a little bit since you also seem to be getting occasional frame drops.

Just tried your suggestions , although i got 5-10 more fps , the stuttering persists , for some reason it's not visible on stream but it's pretty visible when i'm playing the game .

hilalpro · Feb 13, 2014

Lower your fps to 30 first and if that still doesn't eliminate the stuttering try offloading the encoding to your GPU by enabling NVENC from the advanced settings.

nothing's working so far -_- also can't enable NVENC , i'm getting this weird error message

hilalpro · Feb 13, 2014

Currently you need to update to the latest nvidia beta driver and restart your computer before you can use that encoder.

I see , thank you! , i'll download it now and post results in the morning ! Fingers crossed.

I think your bitrate may be too high for your connection. Your game + your stream + whatever else is going on on your network is causing you to drop frames as hilalpro pointed out. Your duplicated frames are very low, so you're not having any trouble with being able to encode and I wouldn't expect switching to NVEnc to do anything except lower the quality of your stream (but still try it, I might be wrong).

I would try setting your buffer to 2/3rds of your bitrate, and if it still occurs, try lowering your bitrate further. Also eliminate anything else sharing your internet connection. Roommates using bittorrent, streaming audio sites, anything like that.

i'm getting a 30mbps down and 3.5mbps up on the server i'm connected at , my bitrate is at 2.5k , thought it was low , will try lowering it and testing!

Justhavocman · Feb 14, 2014

After some testing , it turns out it's OBS itself that makes the game stutter , i don't know why and how , but without streaming or stream preview and just OBS being enabled , my game stutters , the moment i shut down OBS the game goes back to normal , so i'm ruling out Bitrate as the source of the problem , any ideas?

Boildown · Feb 14, 2014

Have you done the "I have no idea what's going on, so I'll reboot" yet? Because I have no more ideas.

Justhavocman · Feb 19, 2014

You're saying OBS makes the game stutter just being open, not encoding or previewing? That really shouldn't happen. Are you out of RAM or is your hard drive full or something? This doesn't sound like an OBS issue to me, because as far as I know OBS doesn't use much resources at all for just being open not doing anything.

My bad , it only stutters when previewing the stream or actually streaming! It's like having horizontal lines while playing the game when moving my mouse around to see the rest of the areas.

Boildown · Feb 19, 2014

Well then play the game for at least 5 minutes doing stuff and post a new log file with your updated OBS settings.

Try to use something other than monitor capture. Its pretty much the worst of the possible methods.
