Question / Help Stream quality pixelated/blurry

[jeff taccetta]

Please help. I have had the same settings for a while now, and since OBS 17.0 I've been running into pixelated and blurry streams. I even tried lowering the FPS to 1900 (from 2500) and that made it worse.

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Your log does not contain a stream. Please share another log with a complete session of start, stream, and stop. :)

One thing that caught my eye is that your Elgato is set to 720p. Since your base is 1080p you will get a better result if you import a 1080p picture.

I updated the log to be one while i streamed. the first one was not the correct one

Your encoder preset is set to ultrafast. That's gonna make it really bad. Change it back to veryfast and start from there :)

Also, if you can, when streaming you should try to hook it up with a wired connection since that will help with connection stability. Make sure it's plugged in with power as well to not throttle the CPU.

I am using a wired connection. And I was using veryfast until this began to happen, the changed it to ultra

ultrafast makes it worse, not better.

Is there anything else you're seeing the in log that would cause this issue?
