Right now I'm streaming World of Warcraft on my desktop and my stream is very lagging and delayed. Please help me!! My computer is fairly new too(2017 iMac version 10.13.3) This is the second time I'm asking for help. Didn't receive any help when I previously asked 2 weeks ago. https://hastebin.com/zanubinegu is my log. Please any help would greatly be appreciated
Question / Help Lag when streaming on twitch
- Thread starter zach729
- Start date
https://hastebin.com/pakonujabo Hopefully I did this correct. Started streaming, then quit and waited until it stopped and uploaded last log file

Nope, that's just another startup log. Look at the folder to make sure you're getting the right log. A log that has a stream session in it will have entries for "streaming start" and "streaming stop" as well as stats on the number of frames attempted and the number of frames rendered and compressed, with a reason for why frames have been dropped.
I'm still confused of how to upload the correct log file. After streaming, I go to help>log files and from there, there are the options of show log files, upload current log files,upload last log file and view current log file. Could you explain in steps of how im supposed to upload the right log file?

Do Help > Log Files > Show Log Files.
Sort the window by date. Open the latest log. Check and make sure it has lines that indicate "streaming start" or "start recording". If it's not there, try starting and then stopping a new session. Let it run long enough that you can observe the problem you're trying to troubleshoot, then look at the logs again.
For instance, your first log *did* have a session in it, but it lasted less than two seconds. OBS reported the number of frames output as fewer than rendered but doesn't say why. I think you might need a longer attempt. That said, window capture is the least performant method. Display would be better. I don't think syphon works on WoW.

nvm I figured it out. Did you look at the log file I posted though?
hmm. that's kind of confusing to me because my internet seems perfectly fine and fast
That helped (=. Wish I would have known about that before lol ty. Also, how do I get my in game sound to work on twitch? I don't hear anything on it
