I must have gone thru 10 videos and 40 fixer forum posts and NOTHING will get my Overwatch stream to not LAG. I have a new router and pc within the year and neither are cheap. OBS doesnt show dropped frames, I've put my rate down to 2000, I've updated every driver and graphics, lowered every settings on OW practically, ran every OBS option known to man, my internet really only struggles with Overwatch. It shows the game on stream (actual game on my side doesnt drop frames either) but eventually the stream freezes for up to a minute or more! I am totally out of ideas.....Also the stream runs fine if I watch it on my own internet. I have changed every settings known to man it feels like and spent hours with no resolve :/ HALP please

First off, post your log from one of your streams. Once you do that, we will be able to help you. To do so, open OBS, click (Help > Log Files > Show Log Files) once showing log files, choose one of them, copy it, and paste it into pastebin (Link https://pastebin.com). Share that pastebin link in your post so others can see your Log.

Ok, so if you were to run into a bottleneck, it would be with your GPU, not CPU. It seems you have NVENC encoding chosen. Change that from NVENC to x264. (Changes encoding from GPU to CPU.) Once you have done that, try streaming for a moment. If I am not wrong, you are streaming on a wired connection at 1000 mbps, so there should be absolutely no problems with your internet. You also mentioned you put your bitrate down to 2000. That is likely one of your issues. Lowering bitrate will make your stream quality worse, not better. Move your bitrate from 2000 to 5500. (If you are streaming in 1080p)
