OBS keeps disconnecting stream on twitch

[starrylad]

Hi All,

As the title says, it keeps disconnecting. OBS doesn't crash or anything, I'll just look over and my stream will be offline or someone in chat will tell me.

I thought it might have been due to streaming on wifi so I ran an ethernet cord through half of my house today to get better speeds. Using twitch inspector it shows that I'm getting the same low speeds that I was yesterday though despite it being connected via ethernet (avg. 2441 kbps). I've included the three logs from me trying to stream today. It was disconnecting after 5-10 mins of streaming yesterday but now that it's on ethernet its disconnecting after three. Any help is appreciated.

My monitor also does this weird thing where its dimmed but then lights up normal if I move my mouse enough when I'm not on the screen with my game. IDK if it's related but maybe worth mentioning?

I actually am having the same problem and am happy to see u posted this today so i know its a more common issue. I thought i was going crazy. I havent done a stream test but my internet is fine elsewhere. Both my pc and my gfs does not work and will intermittently disconnect and reconnect. I thought i had to buy a new router

According to the log file you are stoping the stream using a hotkey:

19:33:06.299: Stopping stream due to hotkey
19:33:07.341: [rtmp stream: 'simple_stream'] User stopped the stream

You should check on this and change the hotkey to a different one or even better to a combination of keys.

so if you look at the reply under yours I was accidentally hitting my hotkey to end the stream... *facepalm*. BUT I also clicked the analyze button in OBS when requesting my log file and it showed me that I had a setting called Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling on in Windows which could maybe be contributing to your issue?

this is absolutely embarrassing. Thank you for the kind response and I'm changing the hotkey rn.
