Bug Report Intermittent freezing

[t0lkien]

When I use the 64-bit beta OBS with p99 Everquest, it freezes the game regularly about every 3 minutes for about 5 seconds. This happens whether actively streaming or not, and keeps happening after I close OBS. I have to close down the game completely and restart it without loading OBS to stop it happening.

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate via Bootcamp on a MacBook Pro (Windows has its own SSD).

Is this with or without game capture? If using game capture, try the latest test version instead.

 

[t0lkien]

With game capture. Tried the latest version (the beta) and it's better. There is still persistent ingame lag though. It's playable, but only just. The lag seems to be very similar in frequency to the freezing before, though the game doesn't actually freeze (however, the stream does - again, briefly).

 

[Lain]

There were some fairly major fixes in the latest test. As for the lag, I'd probably have to see a log file just to be sure of your other settings first.

I've pasted a log file below, but I'm *fairly* certain some of the lag has to do with my upstream bandwidth (I'm on ADSL). I'm looking at this now.

Hm, not entirely sure unfortunately as of yet.
