Post a log file. From each version if you can. Make sure they're from high-action videos (as high as your game gets) at least five minutes long.

Get rid of all the custom x264 settings

Set the stream framerate to half your monitor framerate (if your monitor is running 50Hz, leave it alone, if its running 60Hz, set your stream framerate to 30fps). Alternatively, try 20fps regardless of the above.

Set CBR to yes.

Set your key interval to 2 seconds if it isn't already.

Your stream bitrate is really low. Increase the downscale to 3, and experiment setting it to 2.5 or 2 after you've verified it works at 3. Or increase your bitrate if your upload speed is fast enough to allow it. What is your upload speed?

Once you've done this, go through the procedure again and post new log files. And this time don't ignore the advice about at least 5 minutes long.

i have tryed new settings 30fps 2.5 same as before with cbr 500bitrate 100 buf yea my bitrate is low 0.85 my ping is not stable 40 ping up to 60/65 random but at least i dont have lag spike

CBR padding is what enabled strict CBR. It means you will always stream at a bit rate close to the bit rate you entered. If you're getting a higher ping while enabling that, that means your stream and the game are competing too much for your internet connection. You'll need to lower the bit rate that you are streaming at.
