For some unknown reason I had a peculiar issue with low bitrate issues with OBS over the weekend.
For Context I Stream 1920x1080 upscaled to 2560x1440 with 25000 bitrate - I have a 1gb connection - However it is a wireless connection so I get 500mbps+
over the Wi-Fi 6 Card.
All network tests on every device were fine, speeds on wired were over 800mbps and over wireless over 490mbps - upload was 45mbps (my network is 50mbps).
All working fine before this weekend but suddenly choked after streaming for 30 minutes and then couldn't receive the required bitrate (Fluctuated between 5,000kbps to 55,000kbps) - but ONLY on OBS Studio - I switched over to Streamlabs to test and streamlabs worked without any issues with the identical setup. (Streaming for over 5 Hours).
I have a very basic stream layout, camera top left with a static camera overlay (PNG) and camera mask, the Elgato video feed, Mic Audio and Elgato Audio - nothing more than that.
Has anyone else experienced issues like this before? is there something that may have changed or reverted to default that I'm not aware of?
