Bug Report [Solved] Feezes then falls behind a LOT, 0 frames dropped

Hey!

I've been having a problem with my stream lately. Before, I used to use xsplit and 4500 bitrate to stream (LoL) to UK:s secondary server without any lag. Recently I picked up OBS and tried to stream counter-strike:global offensive, however, my stream freezes and falls behind extremely (unwatchable).

The weird thing is that I have 0 frames dropped. I tried to stream at quality 6 and 1000 bitrate and it still stutters. Another weird thing is that the vods doesnt lag at all (which causes me to think that it is a routing problem). It seems as though the stream begins to lag whenever I launch cs:go. Is this a known problem?

When I try the built in test in xsplit and try to stream at 10k bitrate, the general output is around 7k.

So, what I have been doing to try to fix it (without any success) is:
*Tried to stream in bitrates from 1000-4500 and quality between 6-10. Always 0 dropped frames but always freeze lags on the stream
*Tried several different servers, uk1, uk2, DE, amsterdam, global balancer
*Changed the cpu load balancer from everything from fast to ultrafast
*tried to make cleane scenes, uninstalled and tried different version of OBS
*Streamed in different fps-ranges (25-30)

My specs are: 2500k i5, 8 gig ram, nvidia 670. I use the video game capturer to stream counter-strike. However, I tried to stream it in windowed mode and it lags there as well

1 gigabit internet. Whenever I look at the output from OBS (next to the green box) and streams only the desktop, I am sending between 200-400 kbit.

So I'd be very thankful if somebody could help me out here!

Re: Feezes then falls behind a LOT, 0 frames dropped (CSGO)

Could you post your log? Have you tried downscaling your resolution?

Hey!

Ive done-scaled and streamed in 1024x768, same resolution but downscaled x1,5. Also streamed in 1080 and 720.

Here are some of my logs:

Re: Feezes then falls behind a LOT, 0 frames dropped (CSGO)

This has been solved. The problem was that a had too much fps in the game which eventually caused my graphic card to get overloaded, which then caused my cpu to overload. I did set the maxfps to 150 and it was solved

Re: [Solved] Feezes then falls behind a LOT, 0 frames droppe

WTF... I've never heard of a solution or reasoning like that before as a fix and really shouldn't be a issue... Weird, old source engine is old. (Thinking about this, this is actually a pretty interesting solution that may apply to more then just the source engine)

Something worth noting. Your in game resolution wont effect OBS beyond how it affects your game normally. You can leave that at your default resolution. However, a bit rate of 1000 isn't enough to stream 720p. You'd need to downscale that from native to half (I forgot what res that is). You can keep your game resolution at the default.

The only reason you'd see reducing your in game resolution would result in a better stream is because of those giant black borders that are added to your stream (which then in turn don't use any bandwidth because they're black).

1 Gbit isn't your internet connection speed, that's your lan speed. You can figure out your connection speed by using a speed test, like Speedtest.net. Click on a server that is close if not in the same city as the twitch server you're streaming to. You can then figure out a proper bit rate to set your max bit rate to and also a proper resolution to stream at.
