Question / Help OBS drops a big frame every 5-6 seconds no matter what

Specifixs · Dec 21, 2013

I HAVE TRIED EVERY POSSIBLE SETTING. I changed the encoding 100 times along with video resolution and bitrate... the whole package and no matter what OBS seems to have the same problem. Every 5-6 seconds it will freeze. I dont know what i am doing wrong. I ahve had multiple people try to help me and nothing works. Please help me.

PC Specs:
AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight Core
16.0 Gb Ram
64 bit operating system
Not sure about the graphics card but I know it is quite high quality

Here is a link to the problem itself(You see the problem when the game starts and even before)

As indicated by the log analyzer, there are a few things you could do to improve your stream. Monitor capture especially is never really recommended for windows 7 and below. The log analyzer is quite nice, I wish people would use it more.

So i changed the settings based on what both replies said and i still get the problem -_-, idk what else i could change

Lain · Dec 22, 2013

Post another log of a more recent session with the new settings, along with a vod.

I would probably recommend game capture instead as well, it's the best option for windows 7.

Not sure what that blinking is, usually you'd only see something like that if you're trying to use monitor capture to capture fullscreen games (which you're not supposed to do). But according to the log you're using window capture.

This is not normal at all, both the blinking and the FPS dip, OBS has a huge number of users and I never really ever see this sort of thing. You also seem to have a fair amount of duplicated frames which is a bit unusual, but the broadcast is a bit shorter than normal.

I feel like something on your system is interfering, or there is something strange going on with the hardware or drivers. If it were me, I would be paying particular attention to what programs I have running in the background, making sure I have the latest drivers, and latest updates. Something is definitely wrong.

Specifixs · Dec 23, 2013

im getting my hard drives cleaned up early January so maybe that will help, Thanks for the help tho

Lain · Dec 23, 2013

I don't know if it has anything to do with hard drives being cleaned, and I'm not entirely sure what you mean by cean. I'm not sure if such a thing is really necessary, generally I would just check to see what applications you have running in the background and check the drivers and services. I would help you out with it myself but unfortunately I can't access teamviewer currently.

Specifixs · Dec 23, 2013

if you can get teamviewer going then that would be great and i mean clean because i have malware on it, idk if that can cause the problem

Specifixs · Dec 23, 2013

and i typically have OBS, Raid call, and League running as applications, but the recent log i posted didnt have raid call open so idk

What if you're running SLI?

How can I not use Monitor Capture? Any alternatives?

Question / Help OBS drops a big frame every 5-6 seconds no matter what
