Right, so I havent fiddled with the settings for a long ass time, everything has worked for over a couple of months with these settings, but today for some reason it just literally stopped working altogether, nothing i've tested to make it work help at all.

I've tried deleting everything, even from the %appdata% and rebooting before reinstalling, same problem persists, turned off my virusdefense program just incase it was messing with the injecting somehow, changed the damn streamkey aswell. And my internet is not the problem here, since I can download at a damn high rate and upload aswell without a hitch, but streaming does not seem to work.

im more than a 100% confident that its not my internet, it feels like a problem with OBS not correctly sending data for some reason, but I just cant figure out what the heck is going on, tried changing to all of the EU servers aswell but nothing is seemingly making it work, im just clueless right now.

Speedtest.net is notoriously unreliable. ShaperProbe and testmy.net give much more accurate results.

OBS doesn't just drop that many frames for no reason. Dropped frames are a result of a bad connection to the streaming server. That could be caused by low upload speeds, heavy load on the streaming server, router QoS problems, etc.

If you can post your speed test results from those sites, we can all be clear about whether or not that is the issue. But if you've tried several Twitch servers and they all have the same problem, the next most likely cause is that the problem is with your Internet. That doesn't meant it is the problem, just that from all the people I've helped fix issues with dropped frames, 95% of the time the problem is either poor upload speed or Twitch congestion.

well this is now awkward, apparently it works without a hitch, and it most propably was just twitch.tv fucking up and their EU servers being shit. this is what happens when you jump to conclusions and always expect your own hardware or software to fail you. ^^
