Just decided to try w/ OBS had some issues and bad feedback from other broadcasting software programs.

I noticed that I am getting a little bit of input lag ingame. Was wondering what I could do to fix it.. Here are my settings :

Ingame = 1080p settings on low
OBS Settings :

30fps
Quality 9
Bitrate 4000
I have tried video capture

My cpu specs are

GTX 560ti
i5-2500 3.3ghz
8gig ram

Stream looks ok, ingame is quite choppy / dropping frames..

Are you sure that is your most recent log? That is a log from a very old version of OBS (most recent is 0.542) and according to that log, you have no sources added to your scene...

I am even willing to pay someone who would be able to help me with this input lag. Just thought I would throw that out there.

If you are experiencing input lag while streaming, the only thing to do is use Minimize Network Impact, and then reduce streaming bitrate until it stops. Beyond that you will have to look into maybe replacing network hardware. Many times lower end consumer routers and network cards can't handle the load of streaming.

My only question was, you realize that I mean that my ingame actually starts lagging. Like the stream will look fine for viewers, but I can actually feel like its choppy a little bit ingame.

Yes, I know. Some lower end network hardware can't always cope with the strain of sending all the data needed for streaming, and still provide good latency for your game.

Game capture always gives better performance than Monitor capture on Vista and Windows 7

Switch output to 1.5 base resolution (720p).

Your stream should look a lot less pixelated and LoL should run smoother.
