Hello,

I have tried multiple settings on OBS, but apparently my frames keep dropping on stream and there are these lag spikes.

My specs:
AMD FX-4100 Quad Core 3.6GHz
4 GB Ram
AMD HD Radeon 6670

I see you have 2 Window Captures and a Monitor capture. Those are probably slowing you down, since Window Capture performs very poorly when Aero is disabled. Try converting them all to Monitor captures, assuming you need different captures in one scene.
 
Hey, I deleted 2 of my window captures and is just using a monitor capture now. I tried streaming, and it's a lot better but I do notice a little freeze, nothing major. Here is a video of it: http://www.twitch.tv/melancholyx3/b/385138933 and the following is the log:

You'll probably get better performance using Game Capture to capture LoL instead of Monitor Capture. If you want to capture the pre-game client, too, you can make another scene with Monitor capture and use the Simple Scene Switcher to switch back and forth between scenes when you get into the game so you won't have to do it manually.
 
Read through the thread where the plugin was posted and as your question about it there.
 
I do have the same problem. My stream is experiencing frame drops,
while my game is just playing at the same frames.
I've looked almost at every forum I could find, tried a lot of settings,
but can't manage to find the problem.

It keeps saying High CPU usage, and stuff.
Is there any way I can make my stream work the
way it suppose to work?


I am running a AMD 5600k Processor,
HyperX Fury 8 gigs of Ram
graphics card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 260( I know, still need an upgrade)

Looking up here, I am only running one Window Capture, and maybe some
tekst, but nothing special.

Looking at Speedtest.net

My download is: 44.88 mbps
My upload is: 18.44 mbps

Can some one please help me with this?

I am willing to stream World of Warcraft gameplay
