Hey there, just made my account to post this issue I am having:
It seems when I stream Rainbowsix: Siege everything runs fairly smooth. However at times I will get a huge bout of stream chop during Killcams (usually during end-of-round killcams). Otherwise my stream runs perfectly fine. I can play the game and stream it smoothly, regardless of how fast I move the camera. But with end-of-round kill cams my stream drops to what looks to be <10fps for 3-5 seconds then snaps back once the stream feed reaches the next in-game round.
I am new to streaming and OBS. I am slowly reading different guides and trying to learn what I can about tailoring my OBS to my machine so i hope by asking here about my issue I am not angering anybody. I have generated a log file and will link it below. I just did a test stream for 40 minutes to generate this file. Unfortunately the issue (massive stream fps drop) only occurred once- perhaps 10-20 minutes into the stream. I have checked my OBS client and it claims "zero dropped frames," as well as CPU usage is said to under 10% and my bitrate never drops too far below the set amount (usually 3000 but I do sometimes tweak it down to 2800 to try to fix the issue. Idk if it is fixing the issue).
I am not sure what these logs provide in terms of settings so i'll just blurb down my OBS and PC specs:
PC
Intel i7 920 @4.0Ghz
AMD HD 7970
12Gb DDR3 Ram
OBS Settings
STREAM:
Service = Twitch
Server = US West: Seattle, WA (as I am currently located in British Columbia, Canada)
OUTPUT:
Video Bitrate = 2600 - 3000 (Usually start at 3000 but lower if I am encountering issues, plus the whole "let people with bad internet view the stream)
Encoder = Hardware (AMD)
Audio Bitrate = 160 (Default)
VIDEO:
My resolution = 1920 x 1080
Down-scaled = 1280 x 720
Downscale Filter = Lanczos (Sharpened scaling, 32 samples) (Switched to this from the default after reading something on a thread somewhere, I don't remember the reason though)
Common FPS Values = 60
I read somewhere OBS reporting zero frame drop, yet experiencing stream stutter can be due to in-game FPS not being capped/matched to the 60 fps OBS attempts to render at. I capped my in-game fps and the issue seemed to disappear, but it has since come back so i guess it wasn't the solution/explanation.
Here is my test log generated by OBS:
Edit: Just checked all Logs in OBS and apparently it has 2? Even though I only did 1 instance of streaming. Looking at the times it seems one comes right after the other. I dont really understand so I've linked both. If they are no good I will upload a fresh log after my streaming session tomorrow night (was hoping to test tonight, get solution on here by morning and have a fixed stream tomorrow lol).

Thank you in advance to anyone who can assist me in the issue; and if you are able to glean any further knowledge on how I should change my OBS settings for an overall better quality stream please feel free to let me know!
