Question / Help OBS Randomly Disconnecting After Sudden Surge in Bitrate

[ADAMANTEPP]

Hello!

I suddenly have started to encounter issues where I randomly will be disconnected and then reconnected every 7-15 minutes. I'll be streaming perfectly fine, but then suddenly my bitrate will sky rocket from circa 3300 kbps to 7000 and upwards to 11000 kbps before completely disconnecting. The settings I am broadcasting with have not changed since I''ve started streaming (almost a year ago) and I am not sure what to do in order to fix the issue. Before I post the latest log, I do want to say that I am connected via ethernet wired CAT6 connection, I did go to testmy.net in order to get the most accurate results for bitrate info, and here it is:

I also did port forwarding on my router as suggested in the official OBS forum that listed all disconnection troubleshooting solutions.

Unfortunately I am not well versed in translating either the above pasted log from testmy.net or the OBS logs, so if this is a simple solution, I do apologize ahead of time for wasting anyone's time on this! Thank you all for any and all help you can assist me with on this issue!

You cut out all the important parts from that log.

 

[ADAMANTEPP]

I was pretty sure that I copied/pasted the entire log into pastebin---what important parts are missing?

 

[Harold]

The actual stream attempt.

[ADAMANTEPP]

Gotcha---the log was too large to paste in the body of the thread, and so here is the log upload link:

Thanks again for any and all assistance!

How many different twitch servers have you tried?

Go through the test with http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/tech-support/478845-twitchtest-twitch-bandwidth-tester and chose one of the ones with the highest quality.

 

[ADAMANTEPP]

Ahh--I should have mentioned in my opening post: I did utilize that test and went through multiple servers---unfortunately still getting the same DC'ing results. Several were of the highest quality and so I chose each and tested accordingly, but still no luck. :( Anything from the log that you can see that I haven't that hints towards what the issue might be?

 

[Harold]

You got a screenshot showing the results of the test we can take a look at?

[Harold]

You might want to try the 1 or 5 minute test to see if that triggers a difference in quality

Try disabling your custom x264 settings.
