Downscale to 720p and set fps to 30. change from ultrafast to veryfast 2500 bitrate/buffer recommended.

your Pc can't encode 1080@60 and you would need a really insane bitrate and for some viewers, it is unwatchable for one of two reasons, either requires to much bitrate to watch or the device cant decode it efficiently.

Thanks!

Ill Try it out now!

Now that thats fixed, im getting a load of lag is that just my pc?

 

[RandomLogic1331]

Well, i can handle it

Define lag?

increase in-game ping? game studdering? stream studdering?

 

[RandomLogic1331]

game studdering

game studdering

close all chrome browsers and uncheck "enable view" from OBS's preview window by right clicking on it, preview then unchecking it.

if you HAVE to use a browser to watch your own stream, use Internet Explorer; it is proven to have much less CPU usage, which is valuable when streaming.

Post an updated log. Sadly, I'll be out for the weekend to be able to check it. hopefully someone else can take a look.

Thats a log

Thats a log

20:56:53: RTMPPublisher::SocketLoop: Stalled for 1788 ms to write 471 bytes (buffer: 0 / 207872), unstable connection?
20:57:24: RTMPPublisher::SocketLoop: Received FD_CLOSE, 30024 ms since last send (buffer: 0 / 207872)

Just to be clear, what is the current issue(s) you are having.
So far I have:
blurry stream
game stuttering (fixed)
stream studdering
and the error message above says youy might have a program that is closing the stream (3rd party firewall or antivirus software?)

 

[RandomLogic1331]

I dont think the anti-virus has anything to do with it, but the rest is a yes

Well more so firewall, (some antivirus' are all-in-ones) for the FDClose in your log would cause that.
Blurry stream, anytime you are below 1080p expect some blur, to minimize this when downscaling, change the filter to either bicubic or lanczos, bicubic is said to be sharper where lanczos will be smoother

Second 1080p with to low of bitrate can also be pixellated, which is when you see artifacts on the screen

I really cant see any reason why your stream would be stuttering with your current settings. when you stream next, link me and if I'm on, I'll check it out

Looks fine actually thanks!

Looks fine actually thanks!

Checked past broadcasts. yeah it looks fine. your bitrate is sufficient for your bitrate, in fact, you might be able to bump it up to 540p

 

[RandomLogic1331]

So what should i set it to?

So what should i set it to?

instead of downscaling to 480p, downscale to 540p (960x540)
