I am trying to stream league of legends but continuously getting unknown frame drops.
I tried to change resolution, lowering game setting and nothing worked
Please help :D

Do not use Game Capture, Window Capture, and Monitor Capture in the same scene. Use different scenes for each capture separately. Also, it doesn't appear that you actually streamed but just a preview.

you have a low upload,

maybe lower audio bitrate,
lower FPS to 30, or 24,
and maybe downscale to 540p

I made a scene for each captures and tried to stream
I didn't get a frame drops this time and it appears that my stream is laggy
can you guys check if something is wrong? I really want to stream
Thank you

You did drop frames. Try enabling CBR to see if that stabilizes your bit rate consumption at all. Also, choose a twitch server close to you rather than using the global load balancer.

Can you run a speed test at http://testmy.net or http://speedof.me and post the results?

Also, 600 kbps is WAY too low a bit rate for 720p. I recommend downscaling to somewhere around 480p or even 360p, honestly. It will be a lower resolution, but better picture quality.
