So, my problem is the following, i used to stream like everyday for a long time, like a week or two maybe, from NOWHERE (for real, i didnt changed anything on my internet conecction / obs settings) it started lagging to 0 kb/s and started also droping frames till 90%

No, its not my internet conection, i did many tests and the internet conection is fine as always, also tried uninstalling and installing OBS several times but it didnt work

here is my log btw and im new into this

Your connection stalls out or the twitch server and loses connection.
You should select a server which is near to you which might already fix the issue.

Code: 
00:26:03: ~RTMPPublisher: Packet flush completed in 126 ms
00:26:03: ~RTMPPublisher: Send thread terminated in 0 ms
00:26:39: RTMPPublisher::SocketLoop: Received FD_CLOSE, 31342 ms since last send (buffer: 552 / 233472)
00:26:39: RTMPPublisher::SocketLoop: Aborting due to FD_CLOSE during shutdown, 552 bytes lost, error 0
00:26:39: ~RTMPPublisher: Socket thread terminated in 35672 ms
00:26:39: Average send payload: 1368 bytes, average send interval: 31 ms
00:26:39: Number of times waited to send: 345, Waited for a total of 1152331 bytes
00:26:39: Number of b-frames dropped: 976 (40%), Number of p-frames dropped: 963 (40%), Total 1939 (80%)
00:26:39: Number of bytes sent: 3731843

your keyint (or key frame interval) is set to auto, this should be set to 2 per twitch. you are running auto low latency mode. turn this off and try again

turn off custom buffer size as well.should be set to same as bitrate

TL;DR, go back to twitch's recommended setting and try again. This is just a guess but I would first set everything to twitch's recommendations, get it working then tweak a little with settings to your liking.

Reference on keyint:

ok, so since you're saying that you are now using all of twitch's recommended settings via twitch's guild try this:

open a command prompt and run this command:

"tracert live-mia.twitch.tv" or whatever server you are currently trying to use. let this run for a few minutes until you get your prompt back.


this will trace the route from your PC to the twitch servers. you might expect some timeouts, but if you experience high pings at any point this might be your issue.

There are more steps outlined in that thread than just turning off Avast. Follow all of them and describe the results for each step here.

Okey, changing servers was the first thing i tried, it didnt work, also lowered the bitrate and didnt work neither :( (its an specific problem because i streamed a week long and didnt happened anything just started to happen yesterday
i dont stream over wireless and checked all the other steps (turned off every antivirus i have and downloaded every driver) so nothing changed on my PC/INTERNET , it just started from nowhere

same here, tried everything, it must be twitch, i checked other channels and some have same problem
i monitored the download rate, and its the same low 60 KB/s (spikes from 30 to 120 KB/s) on thouse channels as well as on mine
normaly its like +/- 200 - 300 KB/s

I donno maybe better luck tomorrow :-)
