Hi there,

I am new to streaming and i have streamed abit Diablo III, not that fast motioned game. Some of my viewers complained that the stream is loading every few seconds. I have here a log from a streaming session: https://www.dropbox.com/s/sutxis9bzosu2 ... 016-48.log
Also i checked my upload speed @ http://testmy.net/upload with a 33MB file. I got a result of 11.8MBit.
I stream on a bitrate of 3000 30fps.
CPU: i5 2500K @ 4.3Ghz
RAM: 8GB
OS: Win7 64bits
GFX: Nvidia GTX560 Ti
Resolution of game: 1920x1080
Downscale for stream: 1.5 1280x720 @ 30 fps.
Twitch server location: Amsterdam/ NL . I am based in NL
Any more information u might need? Thank you in advance.

Good old Twitch buffering, the only thing you can really do to help remedy that is to lower your bitrate. Some people will always buffer no matter what so keep that in mind. For non partners it really is best to stay around 2000kbps or even lower if people still complain about it.

Thanks allot for your reply. I will try it out, but can I up the Lanczos to make up for it and 60 fps? Or it has nothing to do with the quality. Thanks

the filters are a preferences thing imo ... so you have it try out your own if the filters actually do something for you.

since diablo 3 isnt a really cpu intensive game you should be run into no problem with 720p60 the only problem is that diablo 3 is actually a quite heavy screenmoving game so i'd not really recommend it at the suggest 2k bitrate.

another thing you could try is to change the ingest server and see if that changes a bit but i actually doubt it
