None of the suggestions worked for me. Ran into random post from 3 yrs ago that said try YouTube HLS. When you go to settings go to stream and in the service options choose YouTube HLS. This the only that that worked for me out of months of trying to fix this

@Kingwill1738 your log contains streaming sessions with dropped frames. This can only be caused by a failure in your internet connection or your networking hardware. It is not caused by OBS. In many cases, wireless connections can cause issues because of their unstable nature. Streaming really requires a stable connection. Often wireless connections are fine, but if you have problems, the FIRST troubleshooting step would be to switch to wired. We highly recommend streaming on wired connections. If still having issues, then follow the troubleshooting steps at: Dropped Frames and General Connection Issues.

If still having issues, then you need to adjust your bitrates and/or enhanced broadcasting settings.

Other things:
1. The Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling ("HAGS") feature in Windows is currently known to cause performance and capture issues with OBS, games and overlay tools. If you are having issues with performance or OBS freezing, we recommend disabling it via these instructions as a troubleshooting step.
2. In Windows we recommend that "Game Mode" be enabled. Game Mode can be enabled via the Windows "Settings" app, under Gaming > Game Mode.
3. Having the Color Range set to "Full" will cause playback issues in certain browsers and on various video platforms. Shadows, highlights and color will look off. In OBS, go to "Settings -> Advanced" and set "Color Range" back to "Limited".
4. Display and Game Capture Sources interfere with each other. Never put them in the same scene (Just Gameplay).

If still having issues, post a new log.
