Question / Help Stream Is Rough - Game Is Not

I have been trying recently to start streaming now that I have my new computer but have been having troubles and I am imagining it is because I do not know much about the settings. The main games I am looking to stream are Tomb Raider, Starcraft 2, Planetside 2, and Left 4 Dead 2. Whenever I try to stream them I feel as if the quality of the stream is not where I want it to be, that it looks pixelated a lot and that of course frames are dropping. Let me know if any of y'all can help!

My computer specs are here:

CPU: i7-3820 Quad-Core 3.60 GHz

Memory: 16GB DDR3/1600MHz Quad Channel

Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 7950 3GB

Here are is my internet speed down/up:

Download: 15 Mb/s
Upload:3 Mb/s

And here is my most recent log of streaming Tomb Raider:

First off, start by doing this, making sure to pick a server near the one you've elected to stream to. Ideally both should be near you, of course.

Secondly, streaming in 1080p at 60 FPS is not going to make you happy. It requires a massive bandwidth to sustain any kind of decent quality in that resolution at such framerates. Either go with 720p@60 FPS or 1080p@30 FPS. You can simply use the downscale function in Settings -> Video to scale it down to 720p (using the Lanczos filter).

Last but not least, you may want to consider going with CBR instead of VBR. This to help stabilize your stream a bit and make it more enjoyable for your viewers whilst also preventing any unexpected spikes which might affect your gameplay.

As far as the bitrate goes to stream at, well, we'll see once you've got those results from TestMy.Net

change to either 1080@30 or 720@60 instead of 1080@60 and your problem will probably be fixed. if you want really good quality you should go with 720@60 because 2k bitrate wont do it for 1080p to achieve a really good quality.

Download = 15.8
Upload = 3.3

I'll change the res to 720 and run it at 60. What is the CBR? Should I enable CBR Buffing?

CBR - Constant Bit Rate. As opposed to VBR - Variable Bit Rate. With VBR you should notice the bitrate (lower right hand corner of the OBS window, when actually streaming) fluctuate heavily. VBR is an approach by which the bitrate is not constant but increases when the need arises (motion, complex scenery, etc). CBR is, as the name implies a Constant Bitrate and whereas the quality of a CBR theoretically could be slightly less (you'd have to be close attention to notice it though), the strain is a constant one. So more easily accounted for by yourself, by your viewers, by Twitch.

If you were referring to CBR Padding (not Buffing) -- That is enabled by default and you should just leave it enabled, yes.

As for a bitrate to start off with, how about going with 2750 Kbps (CBR, Padding Enabled, no custom buffer size just yet) and Video -> Downscale to 720p (Lanczos filter) in 60 FPS? I think that should already look quite nicely and still be easy on the connection.

i'd go with 2500 bitrate and the faster or fast preset because 3300 max is like one bad moment on your connection when the upload drops and you lose a lot frames while 2500 leaves you some room.

One bad moment and you can't even get to 2500... ;) I mean, a bad moment in your connection and there simply is no connection. And Twitch drops the connection after just 5 seconds of not receiving any data, so... 2500 won't help much more than 2750 will. But, 2500 should still look pretty damned decent either way. Particularly in SC2. Don't play the other titles the OP mentioned but I have some experience streaming SC2 and it's a relative easy and lightweight title to stream.

I streamed Tomb Raider with the first change of settings and here are the results, definitely better! I will try upping the bitrate to 2500-2750 and see how it goes. Why not stream any of the other games besides SC2? :D Thanks again

I missed one word there, or rather... one letter... I. As in, I don't play the other titles. ;) Sorry about the confusion. :P

Seems mostly fine, framelag (PC falling behind) could be still be improved upon but, regardless... how was that? Did you watch it back yourself? And, if so... how was it?

Seems to be running fine! Here is the log from my last Left 4 Dead 2 stream. But for some whenever I try to use game capture the games never show up and it is just a black screen. Not sure why but I just use window cap instead not too big of deal.

Here is a link to the vid of my last stream: http://www.twitch.tv/bltoaster/b/435690972

It's hard to say why it stopped working. You could try resetting OBS completely (Start -> Run -> %AppData%\OBS -> empty that folder) to see if somehow something in OBS prevents Game Capture from working.

Secondly, did anything change on your end? New drivers? Reinstallation? etc, etc, etc.?

But why would game capture no longer work? It worked before and isn't it better to use game cap over window cap?
Click to expand...

No, they are the same performance, basically. I always recommend Window Capture over Game Capture if possible. Game Capture is very intrusive in its capture methods (it has to be in order to capture fullscreen games) and is prone to issues. Window Capture on the other hand is about as non invasive as you can get.

Still, it is strange, Game Capture should be working quite well with SC2.

Hm, bizarre but ah well if Window cap is just as good I am having no problems with that. Gonna give Planetside 2 a go tonight and see how it holds up

Mmm, strange you were dropping a ton of frames that time. Try the Ashburn Secondary server instead. That's my go-to server, anyway (helps when you live 45 min away from the server...)
