Question / Help Stream freezing?

[Kyler Tallant]

I started to stream a league of legends game and it worked until the game started then the video froze. The sound was still working but the video was stuck on one frame. I tried switching between game capture and monitor capture and having both on, but nothing was making it work. I have windows 8 if that helps in any way. Here's a link to one of the videos if it also helps. http://www.twitch.tv/kyler9437/b/511000659

How much of the log do you want, because its a very big one and all of it doesn't fit.

You can just upload it and post the link to it, but we need to see the whole log.

You have an outrageous amount of duplicated frames. Your CPU is extremely weak. You're going to need to downscale quite a bit, probably by at least 2x, and probably change your x264 preset to ultrafast. You may even need to lower your FPS to 25. Try giving those things a shot.

Ok I'm going to try again with the setting you recommended. I will let you know if it worked or not.

It went a little further this time before freezing. Would dropping my FPS a little bit more help?

 

[dodgepong]

Downscaling more, using the ultrafast preset, and lowering your FPS will help, yes. But you do have an absurdly old and underpowered CPU, so streaming might be out of the question for you.

Whats funny is that my laptop is only a few months old. Its a Acer Aspire e1-532p-4471, There really isn't a reason it should be under powered. Is there a way to kind of boost my streams?

When you bought it has no bearing on whether the laptop is underpowered, that's determined by the hardware inside. A Pentium 3556U is a weak dual core CPU; more than enough for every day office use and passable for a lot of games, but absolutely underpowered for live streaming. The graphics hardware in it is similarly weak. As a result you have to lower your streaming settings to accommodate it.

I was only saying that I bought it becuase you mentioned age. Thanks for helping me and telling me what the problem is, I was really helpful.
