Question / Help Frames and questions

Hi,

I just started trying to stream and I ran into a few problems.
I know there's a few threads about dropping frames etc already, but after reading some of them I'm none the wiser.

I've got a 50/10 connection and about 50ms to the nearest server (That being in Frankfurt).

Here's a log and a connection test I did with xsplit earlier. Upload appears to be stable no?

Code:
Initializing connection to server....
Trying to stream maximum data rate of 3542 kbps...
Initializing transmission to server... (100%)
Average data rate during 1028 ms: 3531 kbps...
Average data rate during 2019 ms: 3521 kbps...
Average data rate during 2023 ms: 3478 kbps...
Average data rate during 2058 ms: 3462 kbps...
Average data rate during 2068 ms: 3508 kbps...
Average data rate during 2042 ms: 3540 kbps...
Average data rate during 2031 ms: 3483 kbps...
Average data rate during 2031 ms: 3478 kbps...
Average data rate during 2027 ms: 3489 kbps...
Average data rate during 2030 ms: 3531 kbps...
Average data rate during 2013 ms: 3453 kbps...
Average data rate during 2028 ms: 3488 kbps...
Average data rate during 2029 ms: 3489 kbps...
Average data rate during 2043 ms: 3509 kbps...
Average data rate during 2034 ms: 3505 kbps...
Done.
Average data rate: 3498 kbps.

Your bandwidth to server is sufficient

Number of b-frames dropped: 1066, Number of p-frames dropped: 0
=====Stream End=======================================================================

Got a lot of stuttering on the stream, and a lot of frames dropped. But I'm not sure what the problem is.
As you can see I've set the max bitrate to 4k but when I stream it's using 1000-2000 according to OBS. Not sure If that means something or if it just doesn't require more than that.

Any help would appreciated :)

Hey, could you try the latest build in the test build thread at the top? It should fix throughput issues that some people have been having (for the most part)
