Question / Help Help with settings?

[alai2016]

My stream lowers my LoL fps by at least ~40. Also, the overlay keeps shuttering in my stream. My specs are:

amd fx8320
MSI OC 760GTX
1650x1050
8ms ping, 28mbps down and 6mbps up

Right now my max bitrate is 3000 kb/s and get 60fps+80ping while streaming. How do I improve performance and stop the stuttering in my stream? Thanks!

Could you post a recent log so we can see the rest of your settings?

First, your resolution is too high for that bitrate. Your stream will probably not look so good. Second, you should be using window capture or game capture on the in-game window, and monitor capture should be off when doing so. You might have to set up scene switching to do these things so you can switch between game capture and monitor capture depending on whether you're in their lobby or their in-game window. There are plugins that can help with this in the plugins forum as well.
