Question / Help I'm having serious lag with OBS

I'm interested in streaming league of legends, but becomes near impossible with my ping raising above 200 or so (But jumps constantly between 110 and 250), unless I place the stream on very low quality which makes it about 90-110. This is very frustrating and need some help to make my stream the best quality with the lowest amount of lag in game. cheers.

"Minimize network impact" in broadcast settings is probably what you want for this if you get this issue.


Er, wait, 0.448? That's an ancient version. It's up to 0.55 right now. That's probably part of the problem.

and holy f$%& ... look at your set bitrate and the actual amount of upload you have

you got ~800kbps (800bitrate) and you try to stream with 5000-6000 bitrate

as soon as your little upload reaches maximum your connection says GIMME A SECOND(200+ping)

Run an upload test here, making sure to pick a server that is near the one you've been streaming to. To get an idea of what you can actually get away with.

I've updated to 0.55 and ticked the setting you said, It worked nicely, but I'm still ping jumps not that huge as alpinlol said to put my bitrate lower (500). My ping jumps from around 50 to 110 now. This still causes some lag, but not as much. I want to know if there's a way I'm able so I can play with no high ping jumps (40-60) but with a decent quality stream of about 700p (1.5 downscale from 1680x1050).

Not with that upload of yours, no. Sadly, LoL is quite the bandwidth hog and by itself is taking up a good chunk of that upload. Leaving quite little for OBS to work with. In fact, I would simply suggest not going over 480p. Which can still look quite good with the proper tweaks here and there.
