Hi. I have a dual pc setup with an avermedia live gamer hd capture card. On my gaming PC i use a 144hz monitor and I stream at 720p 60fps. I used to stream alot around 6 months ago and it worked perfectly. I used this guide to remove all the screen tear (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75FWON874u4) And I never had any issues. The quality was superb and no screen tear what so ever.

A few days ago I was able to start steaming again, but for some reason OBS on my streaming pc froze for 1 or 2 seconds every 10 seconds or so. I noticed that it was OBS that was freezeing since it was also freezeing when I was just in preview mode and not recording nor streaming and nothing else on my stream pc was freezing.

Before I noticed that it was actually just OBS that was the issue, I also uninstalled all my avermedia drivers and softwares and then I reinstalled obs. After doing all this, the freezing stopped, but now I get quite a bit of screen tear and the quality is also a bid worse. I made the stupid misstake not to make sure what settings I used before I reinstalled OBS, but the settings I use now "should" work. And I've tried multible different settings, and I never manage to get back to the way it was before.

Ive tried OBS 64 and 32bit, useing Avermedia Stream engine and the other avermedia source option (Dont remember the name) and don't seam to make any difference.


Any help that could solve my issue would be sooo appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you're extending the display and projecting OBS to that display, it should be fine.

Please post a link to a clean log file. To make a clean log file, first restart OBS, then start your stream/recording for ~30 seconds and stop it again. Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc. When you're done select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File. Copy the URL and paste it here.

Put that back on veryfast, you're overloading your stream PC.
