Hello, i have a lot of problems because of my internet, i would like to stream but the quality looks so bad on twitch, my internet speed is 5.05 Mb/s Download and 0.61 Mb/s Upload, if you could give me any good settings so i can stream without my gameplay looking al blurry and pixelated that would be awesome, i normaly have 80-90 ping when i play LoL, but when i stream i have lag spikes up to 600, i wouldnt mind playing with like 200 but well if you could give me any advice or solution

0.6 Mbps is very low, your stream is never going to look super great with that kind of limitation. However, there still may be things to adjust that can help improve the quality. Post a log file so we can see what settings you're using - viewtopic.php?f=5&t=97

1 - Stop using monitor capture, it's the worst capture method in Windows 7. Use window capture (with Aero enabled) or game capture instead.
2 - You'll need to downscale further or your stream is going to be a blurry mess at 400 Kbps. Experiment to find out what looks acceptable to you, but I'd start at around 2.00 (682x384) and go from there.
3 - Because your streaming resolution is pretty low, using more compression won't impact your CPU as much. Try changing from veryfast to fast, or maybe even medium. Again you'll need to experiment to verify that game performance is still acceptable, and if it isn't then take the preset back a notch and try again.
2 - You'll need to downscale further or your stream is going to be a blurry mess at 400 Kbps. Experiment to find out what looks acceptable to you, but I'd start at around 2.00 (682x384) and go from there.
3 - Because your streaming resolution is pretty low, using more compression won't impact your CPU as much. Try changing from veryfast to fast, or maybe even medium. Again you'll need to experiment to verify that game performance is still acceptable, and if it isn't then take the preset back a notch and try again.
