Question / Help Stream Lagging While playing

[Powsa]

So I have an issue....

When I dont start the stream and just preview the stream, its lagging and its lagging a lot.

When my scene is only overlay its fine but as soon as the game is in it starts to lag...

This is my log.

Common problem for a lot of streamers, you are trying to hook two display sources at the same time in the same scene:

23:04:41.789: - scene 'InGame':
23:04:41.790: - source: 'Window Capture' (window_capture)
23:04:41.790: - source: 'Game Capture' (game_capture)

Window/Desktop Capture and Game Capture conflict as they compete directly with each other for frames that are drawn... Essentially you are trying to not only render what you are seeing in-game, render what you see with game capture, also trying to render what Window/Desktop capture is displaying... All at the same time!

Remove Window Capture from the scene 'InGame', this will most likely solve all of your issues with loss of performance.

Game Capture is the preferred method of image capturing as it directly hooks into the rendering pipeline for each game, removing the need to render the desktop and anything else (Browsers, etc) you have running as well as the game.

You should only use Desktop/Window Capture if you can't record/stream via Game Capture at all (Should troubleshoot/post a logfile with a recording/streaming attempt here before switching capture methods)

If you still have issues after removing one of those two, upload a logfile via OBS Studio after you have recorded/streamed for a few minutes or more:

Help --> Logfiles --> Upload Current/Last Logfile.
Copy and paste the hyperlink OBS Studio gives you into a reply on this thread you have going and I or someone else will/should be able to assist you with further troubleshooting.

It gives a much more verbose logfile than you can copy/paste due to the character limits in Code format on the forum.

its still lagging so here is the log

Im pretty new with stream so how do I fix this XD and not a pro with computers

I don't own a 1060 6GB GPU & i7 6700k, so can't give you an idea of what to expect in terms of performance.
I also do not play PUBG so I can't help you much with game optimization for PUBG...

If you do not, cap your fps to 60 (61-63 if you notice screen-tearing might help reduce it) This will help greatly to reduce load on your GPU.
If you are still having rendering lag after capping your fps or you already cap your fps, you need to lower your graphics settings in-game.

I did a 1060 6GB graphics comparison for PUBG on YouTube, came up with:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCYaWc9UX-g

Noting his CPU is an i7 7700k, which on the market is currently the best bang for buck for gaming, your fps if you overclock your 6700k will be a little lower than his, then a little lower again when streaming.

In terms of graphics settings quality vs. performance cost the general rule of thumb for GPU load (In order of highest to lowest load) is:
Anti-Aliasing - MSAA options
View Distance
Shadows
Particle Effects
Ambient Occlusion
Texture Quality - Environment
Texture Quality - Player/NPC
Post Processing Anti-Aliasing - FXAA/SMAA

To optimize the quality vs. performance cost of graphics settings, find multiple locations (Similar to in the video, doesn't have to be the same) and test each change individually, you will need to test each change multiple times as PUBG is a multiplayer game, so it can be variable on system resources. This will take a while.

You could also try 720p60fps, CBR 3500 for streaming, it will likely look a bit better as well than 1080p30fps. Your CPU & GPU should be able to handle 1080p60fps streaming though.

Lastly, I don't stream and never intend to, so can't really assist with very technical streaming issues, though your current logfile shows you aren't having any bandwidth issues whilst streaming. Your settings for streaming are pretty low though, go for getting the streaming output smooth first, then work on this part after.

Can you upload another logfile after you troubleshoot, hopefully can assist in getting a good quality smooth stream output for you.

Hope this helps!

your webcams resolution is way too high, takes alot of resources try to scale it down

So this lag only occurs when I stream on 64bit but on 32bit its fine. But I have a 64bit system for ma pc....

Missed that one, sorry about that. Definitely need to reduce your webcam resolution, 720p30fps is about the max you want to go for a webcam.

So this lag only occurs when I stream on 64bit but on 32bit its fine. But I have a 64bit system for ma pc....

There should not be any reason for less performance with the 64-bit client, if anything it should be the opposite.

Can you try running OBS in high priority (There is a setting available in OBS --> Settings --> Advanced, top of the list) as well as an Administrator (Right-click on the desktop icon, select Properties, select Compatibility tab, bottom of that tab check the box next to 'Run this program as an Administrator')

Can you do another stream attempt for a few minutes please then upload the current logfile, will try to troubleshoot more.
