Question / Help In Game Packet Loss Spikes, OBS no dropped frames or loss.

Hi,

I've been struggling with this for months now. I have a 300mb connection, with around 30/40mb upload. https://www.speedtest.net/results

My obs is set to 8000 bitrate, so it should have no problems. I have no issues when not streaming, but when I do stream, I get in game packet loss spikes every 30 seconds or so, causing my character to not receive input, or keep pressing the current input for the duration of the packet loss (usually 1/2 seconds) enough to get you killed. OBS however runs flawlessly and my stream never lags.

I've tried a new router, new cable, updating all software and running as admin. I'm streaming in China (live here) on a Chinese platform (which could be the issue) and using a VPN to connect to the game servers (everyone does in China). Other streamers do not have this issue it seems, though most don't use OBS, the do all use a VPN(the vpn connects separately and shouldn't be handling OBS data). The game in question is Pubg, but the exact same thing happens in various games whilst streaming.

I'd appreciate any support, it's driving me wild.

Cheers

Lucio
