whenever i start my stream and go into the game (Dota2) and make a single move, OBS would disconnect and would try to reconnect. I have tried minimizing all the settings. I am on a 15mb down / 0.7mb down connection. Logs as below.

nono im not trying to reach 1080p. fact im just trying to get the lowest 380p or 480p cause of the low upload speed. was using xsplit and dxtory before without any disconnection issue and was streaming fine.

No you are doing 1080 in all your tests. You have to go into your video settings and find the Resolution Downscale setting then change it to to 480 or 360.

ok tried to do resolution downscale and set it to the lowest setting of 3.00 (640 x 360). started streaming and tabbed back into game upon first move stream disconnects. same problem

edit: ok solved!!! i think i found out what my problem was. was using software capture for the game and when i changed to game capture it all went fine after. thought software capture was like screen region capture but guess not! thanks for help anyways!

Software capture is exactly that, but you chose window capture and not monitor capture.

yep had tried both window capture and monitor capture both were giving me the disconnects. will just stick with game capture for now everything working fine
