I Just Cant Stream :( Tell me why?

[oneloverobots]

I have done 1 successful stream for a few hours and then never worked again. I run OBS as admin and make it a high priority in task manager, nothing running in background, wired connection, don't share a connection with anyone nothing else using bandwidth. Made exception in windows firewall for OBS and steam and the game. Xfinity internet. New Router Wi-Fi combo Surfboard SBG10. Only tried twitch at this point.
Speed test and twitch test (no game running) and game settings. game is called Valheim.

Different settings and result at bottom.
what i want.

Test without game running. apply settings. then start game.

Test with game running. apply. then go live.

Computer. Lenovo Legion Desktop. Geforce RTX 3060. 500gb SSD. 1tb HDD

I've watched so many YouTube videos and did everything they said about OBS settings and Windows settings and nothing works please help.

Restart OBS and perform a test stream/recording of no less than 30 seconds doing as you normally do, including playing games, full camera or whatever you normally do.
Look in Help menu. Upload the current log file and paste the url to the log in here. Click on the Analize button to start troubleshooting common issues.

Instead of using "Auto" for the Twitch server selection, try picking one from TwitchTest that gives good results. Sometimes "Auto" can route to the wrong region.

thank you both. no one ever says anything about analyzing the log very helpful as HAGS was causing a problem. unfortunately still not working
new test 5 min this time. should i be testing with the game running?

Went with LA. OBS settings NVENC, bitrate 3000, Quality, 1080 scaled to 720, 60fps, network optimization on.
Result. not running game.

After starting up the game.

Log analyzing says its a network problem but all the different speed tests (300D-12UP) seem good enough for what i want to do. not trying to do overlays or even a web cam just simple stream. My modem/router (Surfboard SBG10) is it just crap? does anyone else stream with one? Do i really have to call my ISP? I hate that and any suggestion as to what to tell them so they fix it?

 

[R1CH]

Check for 3rd party software that might have a "game mode" that restricts background bandwidth when it detects a game. Some antivirus products have this, as do some network card drivers.

Unfortunately the SBG10 is indeed crap, this might also explain your issues: https://approvedmodemlist.com/intel-puma-6-modem-list-chipset-defects/

Made exception in windows firewall for OBS and steam and the game.

?? why did you make local OS firewall exceptions? Assuming all running on same PC, I'm not aware of any reason for exceptions.
Have you set up something to block inter-process communication on this PC? or have an extra security product installed that is doing such?

I was just trying multiple troubleshooting options from YouTube many videos suggest this. Did you maybe have anything helpful to add?

For me, it's still not clear what exactly your issue is: "...can't stream" is not specific enough. You need to post a logfile that contains a streaming attempt, so we can see what your configuration is, what you told OBS to do, and how the streaming service answered.

In case it is a network issue, which isn't clear as long as you don't post a logfile, see this OBS troubleshooting article: https://obsproject.com/wiki/Dropped-Frames-and-General-Connection-Issues

Game is on HDD. OBS is on SSD. does that matter?
can't think of anything else.

PROBLEM SOLVED!
I did a reinstall of windows 11 and its all fixed. 0 dropped frames.
Not sure what the problem was but that fixed it.

May have been a service / firewall issue, throttling your OBS outbound connection.
Unsure as to why it would have done this though without any inherent tweaking.

Good to hear it's sorted though.
