Running OBS 25.0.8.
I'm streaming via DSL (low bandwidth), with an effective ceiling of about 670 kb/s. I use a laptop gaming system for some streams, but I'm using a desktop machine with a large data storage HD for most of them.
Starting about two weeks ago, OBS on the desktop machine began odd behavior. Specifically, it starts out fine, wobbling back and forth between about 550 and the 670 ceiling. (The video portion of the stream is supposed to be limited to 483.) hen it tries to go beyond the ceiling, the stream red-lights and buffers, eventually stabilizing at about 210 kb/s. It then very slowly and gradually builds back up to the ceiling, thrashes, and crashes again. Lather, rinse, repeat. On occasion (2-5 times per 4-hour stream) the stream loses connection to the server entirely and refuses to reconnect, requiring a manual server change.
This problem does not occur on the laptop, running identical software with identical settings except for recording (the laptop has very little storage space and therefore records only at low-res). I can't detect any problems with the desktop's wireless. I tried disabling dynamic bitrate, but that only caused OBS to continually seek to cast at a faster rate than my connection can sustain, resulting in a large percentage of dropped frames.
What should I be looking for here?
