My problem is something very very strange. And it seemed to only happen after I had updated some plugins obs told me to update. So when I stream with the settings below my FPS on obs says usually 1-7 FPS while moving around in a game (Reminder I get no Dropped frames. Big difference). Now I have found a solution to this. And it's by enabling areo. When I enable areo everything runs excellent. Stream looks great no lag at all. But my problem with enabling areo is when I tab out of game my window capture doesn't capture the game anymore. It captures whatever i'm doing outside of the game. For example I'm in game streaming I press ESC and move my mouse to google chrome and obs will switch to that.


*System Specs*
Intel Core i5 4670
Radeon HD 7770
8GB RAM

*Stream Settings*
Bit rate 3400
FPS 30
Stream res 1600x900 Downscale to 1280x720
Encoding Profile main
x264 is set to faster

This log file is from last month. Please try uploading a more current one.

If you're running CS:GO in borderless windowed mode or without vsync then it will more or less run as fast as your hardware is capable of. That usually means your CPU and GPU are pushed much harder than they otherwise would be, which would be fine, except you need some of those resources to encode your live stream. You've also adjusted your x264 preset to one that will require much more CPU power.

Try either enabling vsync or capping the game's FPS manually with the fps_max console command. The default value is 300, try something more reasonable like 120. Revert your x264 preset to the default of veryfast and the frame rate to 30.

I tried that and nothing had improved. The fps drops bewlow 10 at all times and for some reason when I stream the bandwidth is set to 3400 but it goes above 10,000. Again when I check disable areo everything runs perfectly fine...

You can tell when a program sucks when no one has a fix for your problem :P
Back to Xsplit where at least I know I can stream properly

Sorry, but you never posted a more recent log file. 2014-06-19-1922-22.log is a game capture log and provides no useful information about your stream. That said, best of luck with XSplit and happy streaming.
