Bug Report Getting Lag in game even with amazing internet

Hey,

First time poster. Was testing out OBS and was liking everything about it, but I've noticed that my ping is spiking, which never happened with other streaming applications. I ran a speedtest and my ping was 10ms, download was 50mbps, and upload was 3mbps. This should be plenty to stream without any lag spikes.



My settings for OBS is as follows:
Quality balance: 5
Max Bitrate/Buffer Size: 1000
Audio Bitrate: 96
FPS: 25
Resolution downscale: 1.50
I'm using Game Capture for League of Legends

When playing League of Legends I average a ping of 50ms. When I'm running OBS it stays at 50ms, but as soon as I start streaming it jumps from anywhere from 50-100. This affects my gameplay and I feel shouldn't be happening given the results of my speedtest.

Can anyone help me?

Do you happen to use "send buffer" in advanced settings tab?
the send buffer option is useless now and do nothing.

You can try checking "use CBR" in the advanced option of OBS for some people it "fixed" the high ping.
