Stream isn't laggy for me as I'm playing, but when I check the VOD it's superrrr laggy. Help with settings?

[itsfine123321]

Hi!! I noticed there was a part on this forum where it mentioned help with lag, but it was kind of confusing for me. I've tried mixing up my settings a bunch of times, but nothing really seems to be working. I'll stream and the game will run fine for me (Dead by Daylight), but as soon as I check the VOD it's just super laggy. I play the game at its lowest settings which helps a little, but it's just kinda clunky. Is my laptop capable of streaming?

Here's my log: https://obsproject.com/logs/A7S5y2Wm3D72uG-e

Thank you guys!!

Why 25 fps? I'm not a gamer, so I could be completely wrong, but if I recall, keeping to an easy multiple of screen refresh rate is advised (so if 60Hz screen refresh, use 30 or 60 fps, etc)

Don't use Wifi.. really
uh oh
13:39:11.351: Output 'adv_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 5583 (48.7%)
13:39:11.352: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 8813/11453 (76.9%)

then switched to 60fps and
13:42:47.714: Output 'adv_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 2485 (54.1%)
13:42:47.865: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 4100/4274 (95.9%)

that is a new CPU, but ultra-low power model... so definitely not appropriate for demanding real-time video encoding... but hopefully it support QuickSync as an encoder, and you can offload encoding to that that...sorry, I don't know enough to advise well on that, but lots of info on these forums and elsewhere on recommended settings for QuickSync

Unfortunately as they are getting rendering lag already, QSV isn't going to help... QSV uses GPU rendering resources, and if there are already rendering stalls, it's maxed out.
Actually, on reading the log, they're already using QSV.

Hail-mary, try switching to software x264 Ultrafast.

With a U-variant "i7" (actually around an i3) running at 1.1GHz though, it's still extremely unlikely to work.
That system is essentially an email-and-facebook-only machine, focused entirely on battery life. Worth a try, but probably isn't going to be able to handle anything more than 320p 20fps video, if that. It simply doesn't have the computing power needed for encoding video in realtime.
