you scale using the x264 encoder, Put as output 720p and disable scaling in the encoder settings, that should help.
@developers is the Lanczos scaling bug still present or fixed?

It goes both ways I generally have better results when I have it scaled to the encoder settings.
 
It's normal, that text/details get blurry/hard to read, when you downscale the image.
You could increase the resolution (maybe try 960p), but this will introduce more system load and more pixelation/blurriness in action on that bitrate.

Counteracting that, you could increase bitrate, but loose potential viewerbase.
Or just choose 30fps for the stream, to save some bitrate. This way you might get acceptable quality on 1080p 30fps 4000kbit/s.

Im gonna try that out and upload a video to see if its worth it.

Eeek horrible tearing/blurry
 
Your log file doesn't show an actual streaming attempt.

4kbps bitrate isn't enough for 1080p streaming, it would be good for 720p though.
 
Yep, as I said...normal.
720p 60fps will look pixelated in many situations (fast movement in PUBG on open areas with trees and grass etc.) @4000kbit/s.
It gets better with 30fps, but for a lot of content, you need to make sacrifices (deal with pixelation, but have smoother motion vs. sharper image but a ton of pixelation in action/movement scenes vs. nice quality but a lot of viewers going away, as they have buffering).

Yeah, I'm just going to stick with my 720p with 4k bitrate for now and tweak it some more.There's no difference if I'm not recording and just streaming? For now, I'm just running the streaming aspect.
