Question / Help Stream looks great but lag spikes in game while playing rocket league.

[bytherulez]

I've tried tons of different settings but I still more or less get lag spikes in game. The main game I have an issue with is rocket league. I attacked a log of the last settings I was trying.

My specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K Skylake Processor 4.0GHz 8.0GT/s 8MB LGA 1151

Motherboard: Asus Z170 USB 3.1 Series Intel Z170/ DDR4/ Quad CrossFireX/ SATA3/ M.2&SATA/ ATX

Video Card: nVidia GeForce GTX 1080 8GB DDR PCI-Express

SSD: Samsung 850 EVO Series 500GB Solid State Drive

RAM: 16GB Hyper-X DDR4-2400/2666 PC4-19200/21300 2X8GB

change camera format to mjpeg. obs is not amused with i420
dont touch buffer size - untick custom buffer size in output tab

07:02:41.890: Output 'adv_stream': Number of dropped frames due to insufficient bandwidth/connection stalls: 2482 (3.6%)

and general checklist to eliminate most common issues:

1. 60hz desktop refresh
Replace with 59,94 only for HDMI TV used as monitor.
If you have 144hz monitor its fastest and most reliable to forget about 144hz and follow 1,2,3,4
2. 60 or 30 in OBS (59,94 or 29,97 only for HDMI TV)
3. 60 in game if there is switch for it (like bf3, bf4, overwatch) - 59,94 only for HDMI TV
4. Enable vsync in game
5. Run obs as administrator
6. Enable high performance mode in windows power options
7. On Win10 disable game mode, game bar and game DVR https://i.imgur.com/7CVH7c5.png
8. Make sure your gpu can do stable 60fps in game without being maxed. OBS needs some of gpu resources as well. If you did points 1+4 and its still maxed lower resolution and/or details.
9. Install Afterburner (or pure RTSS+HW Info) to monitor cpu/gpu load and start experimenting with tuning resolution / fps / x264 preset. GPU/CPU load should not exceed 85-90% during game+streaming/recording session
