Question / Help Stream lagging and low quality at high settings

[Xitex3]

Hey guys,

i have many problems with my stream on Twitch.

First of all, it is microlagging. Under my post, i added a link there u can see what i mean.

Second point: The quality is not that good. Its pixelated when im moving. I searched after solutions in the whole internet. :D

I hope that somebody can help me. I dont know further.

That's not the entire log file, just a piece of it, but at least the most important part is there...

OBS is actually running amazingly well, considering you're using Medium preset. Do you feel the "microlag" when playing the game or just when watching the stream?

Assuming your answer is "when playing the game", try using a custom x264 command of "threads=10". And if that doesn't work, change your preset to Fast.

As for the quality, you're not going to get it better unless you find someplace to stream to that allows higher bitrates. And then your average viewer will likely be in buffering hell.

Ah okay, i feel only the microlags, when im watching the stream.

I will turn down the preset.

Thank u very much. :)
