Question / Help OBS Drops My FPS In Games

[MadManJaMeS]

Hey Guys,

I'm looking to start streaming abit of LoL and MoH:AA (Medal Of Honor Allied Assault) < Old Game

Now i've set up OBS with the help of the guide on twitch but when i go into the games i get a really low FPS.

In MOHAA i get like 15fps but normally its over 400fps when not streaming.

MY system is

AMD Phenom II 3.6Ghz
GTX 295 SLI
40MB Download & 9MB Upload connection

Any ideas.......

Downscale it to something smaller such as 720p. You are getting a huge amount of duplicated frames which is an indication that your pc (a.k.a. CPU) can't keep up with the 1080p encoding in real-time.

How do i do this ?

I was looking and can't find the option ?

Settings > Video > Resolution Downscale

Thanks

It seems to be good when i play LoL but not MoH:AA

also in LoL my cursor flickers is that normal ?

 

[dodgepong]

No, it's not. How are you capturing LoL?

 

[MadManJaMeS]

Normally game capture mode, the fps is fine in LoL but the cursor flickers which is quite off putting.......

 

[dodgepong]

The cursor flickers in-game or only in the capture?

On my screen when i play, i think its sorted now though as i just played a game and it wasn't flickering.

I still got some issues with MoH:AA i'll post another log of whats going on soon !

this is a log of me trying to stream MoH:AA it is rly choppy for some reason.

the FPS is good but the game is still choppy !

Your geforce 2xx series is almost undoubtedly to blame. It's a really dated video card which doesn't handle parallel processing as well as its successors.

 

[MadManJaMeS]

even though its fine for games like MoH:AA ?

 

[MadManJaMeS]

Anybody help ?

Also i want OBS to take sound from teamspeak aswell as my mic any idea on how i can make it do that ?

 

[MadManJaMeS]

any body ?

If teamspeak is set to go to a different output than your game sound (for example, game sound on speakers, teamspeak on headset), then you need to set OBS to capture the headset, and then get the directshow audio source plugin, and set it to capture "what you hear" or "stereo mix" from your sound device.
