Question / Help My stream lag when moving in game.

[wessla]

So i have been struggling like forever with getting a descent picture on my stream. And today i stumbled in to something wierd.

When playing League of Legends, my stream is usually good. I can stream with up to 3k bitrate and 60 fps and stream is rather smooth, But when playing fps games there is a whole other story. I just toyed around with settings and different streaming sites and playing FPS games are just horrible.

But here is the wierd part.... If im standing still the stream is smooth. i stand looking at enemys and explosions and everything is smooth.. As soon as i do some movement in game it starts chopping up my frames... If i enter my pause menu and move the mouse, its fine, but when exiting the menu and start moving the screen around the problem starts.

(THIS ONLY SHOWS ON THE STREAM NOT IN GAME)
What is going on here? Sure i can play when having low settings on my stream app. But ... well. What is going on here?

I have a top of the line computer and can locally record with really good quality, i have alot of upload etc.

Here is a small clip. the saved file shows the same issue: https://www.twitch.tv/episkaaventyr/v/80878370

This might be the right one.

When lowering the coding profile i get smoother results. I can do 3k bitrate with the lowest setting and it smooths out.. So its a local problem? My x264 codec, my cpu or something that is creating hickups... ?

ok been fiddling around alot.. I get the same lag whe locally recording with x264.

23:24:47: Total frames encoded: 14610, total frames duplicated: 3062 (20.96%)
23:24:47: Number of frames skipped due to encoder lag: 3032 (20.75%)

I guess this is my problem. Why do i get this?


UPDATE. I actually still get this but more subtle at 1000kbps 30fps and ultralow setting. At local recording. I can use shadowplay and record at 60 000k with GPU and its like butter. Its related to either the codec, my cpu or something else hooking the process?

UPDATE 2. I can use NVENC and pump up to 5000kbps in hitbox.tv and stream is smooth.

By some reason my computer hates x264. WHY??
