Now I understand this may all be on someone elses end. The issue is the stream has to stop to load frequently. But the people watching can watch others but mine stutters but to some mine is fine. two people it stutters to are only 2 hours away from me and have internet speeds equal or greater than mine. I just want to rule out the possibility of it being on my end.

What bitrate are you streaming at? Sounds like the experience many people (including myself) have with twitch. (Half due to internet routing, half because twitch's video player is terrible).

It's most likely on their end as long as you're not dropping a bunch of frames and maintaining a connection to the ingest server. A lower bitrate would potentially make it less of an issue, but wouldn't necessarily fix everything.

This sounds like that Twitch issue. Sometimes people can watch stream for hours and be fine, and other days they lag harder then somebody who lags hard. HUE.

Like Iotku said: If you are not dropping frames and your connection is excellent to the twitch issue you should be fine.

The only thing you can do is reduce your bit-rate 3.5 is a lot to stream on especially if you don't have a partnership.
- and if you really want to be sure nothing on your end is happening you can always post your OBS log

You're streaming at a high bit rate. The streams that those other people are comparing yours to might not be streaming at 3500kbps. That's a lot of data to download. Try lowering your bit rate.

Your log only shows a short preview session, not a streaming session, and is a log from an older version of OBS. Can you make sure you have the latest version (0.612b) and do a ~5 minute streaming session to generate a new log and lost that?
