Question / Help Frame Drops in OBS Studio but not in OBS Classic

Hello, everyone!

I've been using OBS Classic since 2013, and Studio since it was called "Multiplatform". Something I've always noticed in OBS Studio was that the encoder was constantly "dropping frames", even when in actuality, the stream itself was smooth.

However, recently, the frame drops became "real", and my stream is rather unwatchable when I encode through Studio, but through Classic, it's fine. And, of course, there still the issue of the encoder showing that it's dropping frames when it's not actually dropping them.

My question is: Why could this be happening and is there a fix for it?
Also, to the dev, it'd be great to have a bar on the dropped frames section that stays green when all is well, and goes red when there's a problem (in OBS Studio, of course, the feature already exists in Classic).

Thanks :)

Run the twitch bandwidth tester with a 64k TCP window and 60s test duration and post the results.

Here it is. I live in Israel (hence the European servers) and I stream at 2000 kbps. Usually the results of my tests are just like this one, so I use the London server.

And none of those are actually usable.

You're pretty much going to need to keep calling your internet provider about it until they fix it.

You might find this kind of funny (or sad) but my ISP is the best in the country and these speeds are as high as they go. Trust me, I've been doing this for years :P
