Hi!

Using OBS to stream gameplay to FB Live. Have been successfully streaming for about a month now. I have a 1gbps fiber connection and get regular speeds up ~900 up and down. Trying to stream Monday evening, and wasnt able to keep the stream connected to FB Live. Once I start streaming from OBS to FB Live, my network connection drops to ~10mb down and ~1mb up. The stream constantly disconnects from FB Live. Once I stop the OBS stream, my network connection goes back up to ~900 up and down.

Ive tried the suggested settings in the connection guide and there are no issues with my ISP. I was just live streaming last week! Please help.
Recent log attached from stream attempt.

Which guide are you referring to?

try;

Turn off Dynamic Bind to IP
Settings -> Advanced -> Network and set "Bind to IP"

Turn off Dynamic Bitrate
Settings -> Advanced ->Network
 
I have both of those turned off. I was referring to the OBS connection guide that was recommended to me in the discord chat. I completely redid my network including obtaining a new router and still cannot connect to FB Live.

I am able to connect on my other PC and start the stream with no issues. Help please!
 
You have StreamElements installed... no surprise you are having trouble..
My recommendation - uninstall that PoS and see if that fixes your issue

And beware random Internet 'guides', even by the well-intentioned.

Also - Do you have IPv6 running for a reason? if you aren't running IPv6 on your LAN, then probably best to disable it

I tried running SLOBs and got the same exact problem. So I don’t think it’s streamelements. I’ll try ipv6, but I ran the stream on my other PC and was able to connect to FB live with 0 issues.
