Hey guys,
I've been working lately to setup a stream and start experiencing this niche.
I live in Israel which is rather "remote" compared to most EU countries.
Some of my viewers complain they keep getting "Buffering" in my stream while watching smoothly other streamers who stream at 1080p !
Other viewers complain my picture quality is rather low but they see me smoothly.
When I watch my own stream while streaming it, I mostly never get buffering however the quality isn't where I'd want it.
My CPU is usually around 70% usage while I stream.
If I start touching my setting too much I start getting disconnects on OBS.
The Log Analyzer suggested on one of the 3 logs you'll see in the post that my "handshake" with the twitch server was too slow around 600ms if I recall correctly.
The other two handshakes were around 500ms.
Normal speedtest to UK/NL/GER suggest I get around 70-90ms and 3Mbps Upload.
In WoW I have ~77ms regularly.
Here's how one of my tests look like: Link
I really don't know what to do.
My info:
Processor - Intel Core i5 4570 3.2Ghz (3.6Ghz Turbo)
RAM - Corsair 8GB CL11
Graphics Card - Gigabyte Geforce GTX760 2GB
Hard Drive 1 - Samsung 120GB 2.5" SSD 840 Series
Connection - 40Mbps Download / 3Mbps Upload

Here are 3x 3min stream tests I made to the top 3 servers according to JTV: London, Frankfurt & Amsterdam.
