Question / Help Major frame drops, but only while streaming to Twitch

Hi guys,

I'm in a really unusual situation. Over the past week, I've had occasional frame drops while streaming, that completely kill the watchability of my stream. The symptoms are always the same; I'll have a period with no issues or drops at all, which lasts anything from one minute to an hour and a half, and then I will drop massive amounts of frames. It can last from about 10 seconds to 5 minutes, and then it'll be fine again until the next time it starts dropping. Lowering my bitrate doesn't help, unless if I lower it to the point where it's completely unwatchable, which naturally I don't want to do as this has started happening for no apparent reason.

As I mentioned in the title, if I try streaming to a different service such as Hitbox, I get no frame drops or issues at all
  • Streaming on both OBS and XSplit;
  • Trying to stream to different servers in different regions;
  • Disabling/Enabling the Reduce Stream Delay option on Twitch's settings;
  • Disabling/Enabling low latency mode on OBS;
  • Adding a 10 second stream delay while streaming;
  • Restarting my router and trying a second router I have;
  • Disabling my computer's firewall.
None of the above have made any change whatsoever. I've uploaded a log to help. If anyone can figure out what on earth might be causing this, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

That log contains no stream attempt. Try getting a clean log file.

To make a clean log file, first restart OBS, then start your stream/recording for ~30 seconds and stop it again. Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc. When you're done select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File. Copy the URL and paste it here.
