Question / Help Losing 8000 frames in 25 minutes

Hi, I can't stream properly because I'm losing a lot of frames and I don't know why.

A week ago I tried to stream and lost more than 6000 frames in less than 30 minutes of stream, so I tried reinstalling OBS and updating drivers on my computer. Then I went live again on a secret account and made a 4 hours broadcast without losing any frame, so I thought the problem was fixed.

However, today I tried again to stream and lost more frames than ever in just a few minutes (2000 frames in the first 5 minutes, 8000 in 25 minutes). The light on the OBS was changing constantly from green to red. I ran several speed tests while having this issues and my internet was stable, and my CPU was working from 20% to 40% at maximum, so I don't know what in the hell is the problem.

Here is the log for the last sesion where I lost this ridiculous number of frames.

Thanks for your help. I am getting really frustrated because of this problem.


P.S: Sorry about any gramatical mistakes, english is not my first language.

I'm pretty sure it can't be connection issues. My connection seems pretty stable while this happened :/

I have tried many speed tests and connection quality tests and everything looks perfectly fine.

Try the new networking code feature.

Settings > Advanced > Network > Enable new networking code

see if that fixes drops

Frame drops are nothing but connection issues, nothing else causes it. Your connection is not just direct line "to the internet", but it goes through multiple nodes until it reaches the streaming server and the issue can be anywhere between you and the server. Streaming also requires a very stable single connection unlike most stuff you do.

I understand.

I have talked several times today with my internet provider and they ran mutiple tests and told me that my connection is stable and has no problems.

I don't know what to do. I'm quite desperate and can't change to another internet provider because the one I have is the only one with good enough upload to stream.

I have been doing streams for 2 years and it is the first time I have this issue. It is my job and suddenly I can't do it properly.

That doesn't mean THEIR connection is stable and has no problems.

Try a different twitch server if you can, also do several 30 minutes to 1 hour stream tests each time dropping 500 bitrate until you find when your network is actually stable as in no frame drops.
