Ok so i looked up some help on how to make your OBS quality stream better but i makes the video lag whenever i play then i found what was causing it, it was in advance and then at custom x264 encoder settings and i put it at crf=22 then i turned it of but i makes the video have a bad quality anyway to make the video better but not to make the video lag?

Here is my settings
ENCODING
encoder: x264 (on)
quick sync (off)
nvdia NVENC (off)
Use CBR (off)
enable CBR (not available)
quality balance (10)
max bitrate 2500
use custom buffer size(off)
buffer size 2500
------------VIDEO SETTINGS-------
Base resolution
custom (on)
1920 1080
resolution downscale 1.25
filter fastest
FPS 60
disable AERO (off)
--------ADVANCE--------
use multithread (on)
process priority class (normal)
scene Buffering time (700)
disable encoding while previewing (off)
allow other modifiers on hotkeys (pn)
x264 CPU very fast
encoding profile high
keyframe interval (0)
use CRF (off)
custom x264 encoder settings (crf=22)
allow 61-120 FPS entry in videos settings (on)

Is there anyway to fix this?

Can you post your log? (Here's how)

I can tell you right now that many of your settings are pretty bad already. You should have CBR enabled (and CBR padding enabled). You should also have CFR enabled in Advanced settings, and if you're streaming to Twitch, put your encoding profile on main and your keyframe interval at 2. Also there is no reason to enable the "Allow 61-120 FPS" setting because streaming above 60fps is ludicrous.

Beyond that, we'll need to see your log to get more information on what else to change.

Did you edit your log or something? Those NOT SHARED lines should contain your CPU information.

Whats your upload speed?
Information like :

03:53:18: CPU Name: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50GHz
03:53:18: CPU Speed: 3491MHz
03:53:18: Physical Memory: 16333MB Total, 10631MB Free
03:53:18: stepping id: 3, model 60, family 6, type 0, extmodel 1, extfamily 0, HTT 1, logical cores 8, total cores 4

The info personal information, it just identifies your CPU so they can match it up, as well as know if it's and older cpu/issue CPU, if it has Hyperthreading, as well as the amount of RAM you have. I'm guessing you have a AMD Phenom II X4 but the exact one I'm not sure.

You may want to down-sample to 720p instead of the weird 1536x864, you could try turning off CBR as well and see if it helps anything with testing, looks like you have low latency factor on to, as well as drop it to 30fps instead of 60, and also could try turning off Aero and seeing if freeing up some resources help.

Of course just Tip's here from a lot of testing and years on twitch, follow Krazy's advice over mine for obvious reasons :)

Well.. If your not willing to give technical information related to streaming, you may not find the solution your looking for.

That is in no way "personal information" it is merely a list of your hardware's capabilities, which is most essential in helping you with your issue. OBS does not put passwords, or any other kind of personal information in log files.

Your CPU is not in any way personally identifiable information. It's just a CPU. It will not identify you in any way. We can't give you good advice unless we know your CPU.

Your encode times are on the high side, which makes me thing you have a CPU that can't handle encoding at 864p60, but I can't know for sure. I would recommend downscaling to 720p.
