Question / Help Frame dropping and stream goes offline

[McGuigan]

Hello, today i have been having alooooot of problems with OBS.
Whenever i start up the stream it goes ok for like 30 seconds, after 30 secs the frame drop goes up to 100% and this ends up in the stream more or less just crash.
If i try to restart the stream the same thing happens again after a while.

I have never had this problem before and it just started today.

PC Speccs
Intel Core i5 2500K @ 3.30ghz
8,00 GB Ram
1024MB GeForce GTX 560 Ti

(Against Frankfurt since that seems to be the closest server to stream against, i'm swedish)

OBS Settings
Quality Balance 8
Max Bitrate/Buffer size 5500
Base Resolution @ 1680*1050 Downscaled 2.00
And nothing changed in the advance tab

Anyone know what the problem might be?

If you're streaming to Twitch and haven't tried switching server that you stream to yet, I suggest doing so. London primary has been in good shape lately, so you could give that one a try.

Hmm well i didn't really think that far (stupid thing to not think about)

Did a speedtest and the upload seems a bit better there actually, will try to start up the stream again and see if the same problems happens again!

Ok... i was stupid, the frankfurt server seems to be unstable. Changed it to London at it works like a charm now

Ah, glad it worked out. And yeah, I've heard of numerous people having trouble with the Frankfurt server, and I've never had much luck with using it myself either. But yeah, if this happens again, don't hesitate to try different servers. The ping (like what the jtvping tool displays) isn't always indicative of how good your network throughput will be to a certain server.
