Question / Help New MOBA/CPU dropping frames

[Rispir]

I recently upgraded my CPU and MOBA and installed all the latest drivers. I did this in order to solve some in game FPS issues and although my in game fps seems to be fine now after I stream for about a minute or so my stream starts dropping 70-90% of my frames and my bitrate drops down to around 100kb/s.

Here's the most recent log for you all. On this particular broadcast attempt the stream didn't drop frames for about 2 minutes.

See viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8870

 

[Rispir]

Also I've noticed when I hit "stop streaming" after the frames start dropping my OBS freezes for about 1 solid minute before I can do anything in OBS again.

 

[Rispir]

See viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8870

Ok I tried everything on that post and nothing seems to work for me. So it's not a server issue, connection issue, network hardware issue, or antivirus issue.

 

[Sapiens]

Dropped frames are inherently a connection issue -- an issue with your own connection, or the routing to your selected ingest server, or an issue with the ingest server itself.

 

[Rispir]

That just doesn't seem like the issue to me though. My connection is fine right now and I wasn't dropping frames with my old cpu/moba. So I don't understand why that would affect my connection when I changed hardware. I'm still getting my normal 2mb/s upload that I've always had.

 

[FerretBomb]

Upgraded your MOBA? You switched from HoN to... anything else? Kappa

(Mobo = motherboard, MOBA = multiplayer online battle arena)

Also, how are you testing your connection? Bearing in mind that speedtest.net is worthless for livestreaming and should be disregarded.

Turn Aero ON, stop using monitor capture as it's terribad under Win7. You're duplicating a lot of frames too, this should fix that part.
Dropped frames are a network issue. You do not currently have the bandwidth to stream at your set bitrate. Saying 'it's fine' doesn't actually make it fine; you're dropping frames, something along the line does NOT have the bandwidth. Network fluctuation is inherent. ISPs screw up and change things to lighten their load (and screw consumers who don't know any better, or how to keep tabs on things). Twitch's servers crap out. It appears that one or more of those has happened. If swappin Twitch ingests doesn't fix it, chances are? It's your connection.

If you aren't already, run a 6MB test at http://testmy.net/upload to get a more accurate reading on what kind of constant upstream throughput you have available. Again, speedtest.net is worthless, disregard it.

 

[Rispir]

Hmm I hear what your saying but it just seems HIGHLY unlikely that something with my connection just happened to change at the exact moment I switched out my new hardware... that seems pretty strange to me. Also I was streaming at 1500bit rate with the old hardware and wasn't dropping frames. I haven't changed any of my network hardware or ISP's.

Also I just forgot to switch back to my game capture for that test you see in the log... here's a log with me using the game capture.

For some reason it seems whatever was wrong magically fixed itself. I streamed here for a few minutes with no issues what so ever.

Which means your ISP changed something or you got hit with a network fluctuation. The logfiles say 'the network connection is the problem'. Insisting that it MUST be your hardware won't change that. Did you run the testmy.net/upload test yet?

 

[dodgepong]

Dropped frames are always a network issue. You might think it's unlikely, but it's the truth. Read the post that R1CH linked: https://obsproject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8870

I posted a new log in that last message above ^

Alright yea I'm seeing that now... so it must just have been extremely unlucky coincidence! Whatever it was seems to have fixed itself. Maybe my ISP was adjusting something or what not. Who knows. If I have any more issues I'll be sure to post a new topic though. Thanks guys!

Also yes and the test you gave me said I had had a 1.8mb upload.

 

[FerretBomb]

For some reason it seems whatever was wrong magically fixed itself. I streamed here for a few minutes with no issues what so ever.

Which means it was a network fluctuation, which has returned to normal. Again. The problem was your connection. Use testmy.net next time, see what kind of actual throughput you are getting when it's having the problem.
Because it's not an 'if' it happens again.

 

[alpinlol]

try changing the ingest server you are streaming to ... got the same problem sometimes on the european area when the uk servers start bitching and i drop frames like mad and i stop the stream it freezes obs probably due to a missing signal that tells obs that the stream is actually stopped ... whatever as soon as i change the server its all fine
