OBS freezes and stream disconnects after 10-15 minutes (setup and internet are fine)

[Gabrielnk95]

Hi everyone! I'm experiencing an issue when streaming on Twitch using OBS Studio. The program works fine for the first 10-15 minutes, but then it completely freezes, crashes the stream, and I have to force close the program. Restarting and trying again leads to the same problem.


My setup:

• Processor: Intel Core i5-12400F
• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti (NVENC enabled)
• RAM: 32GB DDR4 (3200MHz)
• SSD: Kingston NV2 1TB
• Internet: 204.19 Mbps download / 105.00 Mbps upload
• All drivers are updated.

OBS settings:

1. Settings - Stream:
   • Enchend Broadcast: Enabled (also tested disabled, no success).
   • Maximum transmission bandwidth: Automatic (tested manual values, both higher and lower, no success).
   • Maximum video tracks: Automatic (tested manual settings too, no success).
2. Settings - Output:
   • Encoder: NVIDIA NVENC (new)
   • Resolution: 1920x1080
   • Bitrate: 6000 kbps
   • Rate Control: CBR
   • FPS: 60 (also tested with 30).
   • Keyframe Interval: 2 seconds
   • Preset: Quality
   • B-frames: 2
3. Settings - Video:
   • Base and output resolution: 1920x1080
   • FPS: 60 (also tested with 30).
4. Settings - Advanced:
   • Process Priority: Tested all options from "Idle" to "High."

What I've tried:

• Adjusted several configurations based on Twitch guidelines.
• Reduced quality to 720p/30fps and other lower values.
• Manually adjusted transmission bandwidth and video tracks.
• Enabled/disabled Enchend Broadcast.
• Tested various process priority levels.

Problem:
Despite these adjustments, OBS keeps freezing and crashing the stream after 10-15 minutes of streaming. I've searched online and followed multiple suggestions, but none have resolved the issue so far.


If anyone has faced a similar issue or has an idea of what might be causing this, I’d greatly appreciate your help!
