Hello all,

Over the past few days I have been working on streaming on twitch. I've watched numerous videos on how to set up OBS, and Ive done that. Ive done an upload and download test. The numbers are not good. But while trying to stream, the game play in BF4 is VERY laggy and I rubber band a lot, and the video stream on twitch is also laggy. I've also noticed on OBS that while streaming I get Warning: Taking to long to encode.

my upload is 5.1 and download is 833
Rig setup:
Windows 7 pro 64
Ram 8gb
AMD Phenom II Black Edition x4 935 3.4 GHz (no its not overclocked)
Nvidia 550 ti ( prob some of the issue)
I have a sapphire HD 7850, but don't have a video cord for it. Would this work better if I get a cord?

if there is other information you need to help, please let me know.

thank you for the help

Tip: On the internet, forum sticky posts (the ones at the top) usually have useful information that may help your current difficulties. viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7144

That said, BF4 is probably too much for your computer to handle with that video card and CPU at any setting.

Thanks for the reply. The log is attached. The error has occurred on both Dota 2 as well as BF4, but BF4 gets the lagg

Now use this: https://obsproject.com/estimator

And this: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7145

Also stream for five minutes of the most complex scenes your game has. Otherwise your log file won't give meaningful and repeatable results.

thanks for the help. I used both and will now attempt to stream for 5 min in BF4 and see what happens. really appreciate your help!

ok it was better with all the adjustments I made, but still to laggy. here is the latest log, I played around on our server, no real combat, if you prefer combat I can make that happen to.

If you're getting high ping, that means your stream and the game are competing too much for your internet connection. First try enabling "Minimize Network Impact" in Broadcast Settings, and if that still doesn't help, try lowering the bit rate that you are streaming at.

Also, you're going to want to downscale to at least 480p, or maybe 360p...at that low of a bit rate, you can't really stream at 720p at decent quality.

thanks for the reply. I'll give t a shot and see. Im currently set at 480p
