Hey there guys!
So I've recently switched from xsplit to OBS studio. I actually have to admit, that you guys did a great job with this one.
Though I've got a couple of problems with it. But first I'd like to start with my specs.
Log file: https://gist.github.com/ef255bdc465eae774bf6580b6907ea62
Specs: Ryzen 1800x @3.8 gHz, GTX 980, 16GB RAM
Internet connection: 35+ mbit down, 8+ mbit up, 20-35 ping (depends on location)
Game mostly played: PlanetSide 2 (where all of these problems happen most of the times)
Now, every now and then I get the "red square" at the bottom of OBS when streaming a game. This mostly happens when I am turning around in a shooter or something huge happens, like when there's a lot of movement on the screen.
I already tried lowering the bitrate (from 5000kbit to 3000kbit), but the problem still persists. Now I thought it might be because of packet loss, though I tried 4 sites for packet loss now and all of them (all over the world) stated, that there's no packet loss at all.
I already checked my CPU and GPU, which are actually fine and not over 90% usage and set the CPU-affinity in the task manager to 50/50, to test if there's something changing.
So I checked the logs of OBS what might be the issue and I saw that I am dropping frames (~5% to ~10%). Probably when a lot of movement is happening. I am having my own stream opened on the second screen to check all this and can see, that the screen is lagging for about a second (though sound is still going on). I also tried to switch locations from Frankfurt to Amsterdam (Twitch-servers).
The second problem I am having is, that when I start streaming I get this slight "stutter" when playing a game. I know, that the FPS should go down by about ~10-20 FPS when streaming, but that stutter keeps coming back every 1-2 seconds. It feels like it would "skip" one or two frames.
Thanks in advance for an answer. :)
