So, ~6 months ago I was able to stream highest quality graphics at 1080p from SWTOR, WoW, and FFXIV. Now, using the same settings, I'm getting massive chunks of dropped frames and even stream freezing where I have to completely close out OBS before it'll start streaming again.
Here's the log file URL supplied by OBS for my stream this morning (the one where I got to to actually stream for a few hours with only a 13% droprate): https://obsproject.com/logs/n1zMont1Ycsw4xaO
Reading through the log, it's information about my system is correct. What is doesn't seem to say is that while it was running, none of the components were anywhere near being overtaxed. I keep a resource monitor open at all times, so I know that while the GPU was the closest to being maxed, it was still only at ~50% capacity throughout the entire stream.
Originally, I used a custom configuration starting off the H264/AVC Encoder, but only got it to stop freezing today after switching to x264, only customizing the keyframe interval and bitrate for Twitch and the CPU usage to try to mitigate the lag (setting it to ultrafast, since the CPU was only capping at ~35%).
I don't stream often and I doubt I'll ever be consistent or good at it, but I'd like to not stream so choppily, if possible.
Thank you for any help y'all are able to give! :D
