Hello, im a world of warcraft player and sometimes i want to stream our progress and some other stuffs, and in WoW its very important to not have such high ms while playing. And the strange thing is, when i start streaming my ms is around 42 ms, then it goes slowly up and after 30 min its up to 200+ ms. Why is that? i got 2500 bitrate, i got 720p,( i had 1080p before ),
30 fps, lowest settings on WoW etc.

My net is 92.94 mbps download and 74.28 mbps upload.


My comp spec:

Graphic: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti

CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K clocked to 4.4 GHz!

RAM: 16 GB Corsair VENGEANCE LP

Harddrive: Corsair Force G SSD 120 gb

Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series™ H80i High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler

Motherboard: Asus SABERTOOTH Z77


So please help me, whats the problem?

Could be anything. People on your network doing torrents. Your ISP lying to you about your speeds. WoW server itself is having problems. What happens in WoW if after 30 minutes and your ping goes high, you quit out of OBS? Does the ping stay high or does it go back to ~42ms?

You should post a log file from when this happened in any case.

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.

There are lots of things that could be going on with your internet connection. Just try lowering the bit rate and see what happens.
