Please post a log from a live streaming session (not just a 'show preview' log). Logs are located in %appdata%/OBS/logs/ and are timestamped with the date and time of the cast. Just copy the contents of the text file and paste it here on the forum inside a 'code' or 'spoiler' tag to keep things neat.

I'd also recommend running http://testmy.net/upload with the 6MB test option; Speedtest tests for 'dead' file transfer rates, and may be uncapped specifically by some ISPs so as to return false rates. The testmy site will give you a better idea of your real-world *constant* bandwidth available, and allow for much more accurate settings tuning to provide the best stream possible.

Your downstream speed (virtually) doesn't matter when it comes to livestreaming; only your constant upload bandwidth available does.

That's your down fall..your upload is at 700 kbps. You might get away with a 320x240..but even that might be a little laggy. I know you don't need quite 20000kbps upload..but that's kinda the minimum requirement for good streaming. If you had a solid 1000kbps upload you could use that..the your 670 is at it's peak..and I doubt it will hold that for a long duration.

Yeah... 670kbps 'real' throughput isn't going to be anywhere near enough for a 1080p stream, even without taking game bandwidth needs into account. You'll need to downscale heavily, and drop to 15-20fps at 360p to help lighten the load. Short version, you need a better connection to stream at a good quality well/stably.

Once that's fixed we can look into the rest of the logfile, but for now that's kind of a showstopper. Also it appears that log isn't actually a streaming one, as your server isn't set up.
