Question / Help Loss of Mouse and Keyboard Input While Streaming

So the primary game I am attempting to stream is CS:GO, and every so often for a period of like 3-5 seconds I will lose complete control of my mouse and keyboard. In a FPS with precision aim and control required, this is quite annoying.

PC SPECS:

Processor: AMD FX-8320
Graphics Card: MSI R9 280x
MOBO: 990FXA-UD3
RAM: 8GB Mushkin Redline
PSU: Corsair TX750
Headphones: Razer Kraken Chroma Pro
Mouse: Steelseries Rival
Keyboard: Some cheap WalMart one


Recent OBS Log attached!

There is nothing in OBS which takes control of mouse and/or keyboard. I dont see anything in the log that would reflect this. could you maybe post a video of what is happening? Does this happen when OBS is open (not streaming) or OBS closed?

This happens ONLY when I'm streaming with OBS. Perhaps it could be a CPU usage issue? I'll try to get a video of it happening.

I'll have to take a look when I get home. I cant get to twitch from here, sorry, should have told ya YT if possible.

Either way, I'm wondering if a reinstall would work. you might have to flush out the OBS folder in appdata just to be sure, but dont install addons like CLR until you test. then slowly install addons til you get the same issue. let me know what you find out
c:\users\(your user name)\AppData\Local\OBS I believe. Just rename the folder when you uninstall that way you can fix it if I'm wrong :P

Uninstalled and Reinstalled and streamed perfectly. Perhaps it was a CLR addon issue? I haven't attempted to re-implement the plugin


EDIT: Enabled CBR padding and ONCE it did the same issue. Disabled and havent seen the issue since.

EDIT AGAIN: Fresh install OBS still same issue every so often.

So it happens ONLY with padding enabled or just more often? Need to know because the two should be unrelated?
apparently he gets ghost kb/mouse presses with CBR enabled more often than when its not enabled. Any thoughts?

It appeared that it was because of CBR but after further testing it is not the issue. A fresh OBS install still produces the same loss of input every so often.

do you have a system stress test to run? like OCCT? I'm curious about stability and heat from your PC.

OBS stresses components and the only reason why you could freeze is if either your video card was overheating or your CPU/RAM had heat or stability issues
