Hi,

I have been playing around with OBS for about a month now. I recently upgraded my ram to 8g for the purposes of streaming my games of LoL but it seems the performance has only gotten worse. I have been experiencing a lot of FPS and lag issues recently. Can someone help me identify what I can do to resolve this? Thanks!

Do you have an example VOD to show this issue you're describing? Because apart from the last entry which showed some frames dropping indeed everything does mostly look fine. Albeit that your bandwidth is fairly low. But I'm going to assume that is on purpose.

Mind you, supposedly LoL is quite the bandwidth hog and does not play nicely with other programs usually up a fair bit of the same bandwidth as well. So, if your upload is indeed what your log file suggests to me it is then you may have an issue streaming LoL altogether.

Thank you for the fast reply, Kharay!

A short example test can be found here: http://www.twitch.tv/vereto/b/431561840
At the very end of the video, you can see the FPS drop into the high 400's.

To your point, this could just be a limitation of my bandwidth then? What would be a good upload speed to provide stable streaming?
