Bug Report Major streaming lag

New Member
Hey guys!
i Just want to say that I love OBS and think its great!

However, over the last few days I have noticed that I drop massive frames while I am streaming. When I first started using this on Wednesday, I didnt have any trouble at all. But last night and today, I have had major problems with frames dropping on all of the same settings.

I have tried changing this about everything and havent seen any fixes so far. I have updated to the newest verison and it still gives the same issues.

i have attached the log to my lastest try:

And this is the vod of it in action: http://www.twitch.tv/iconiy/b/346101699


Do you know of any reason why this may be happening? Thanks!
 
I have tried both Los angeles and Los angeles (secondary) as they are the best. But I still have had no luck.
 
Could you try it out with the "send buffer" in advanced on? Try setting higher or lower values and see if that makes a difference
 
Ok so I tried it all of the send buffer options on and got basically the same results on all of them.

I also have an upload speed of 5mb so I think I should be fine for this.
