Question / Help Stream randomly disconnects

[TheHusky]

I Was trying to do some test streams and the stream would randomly disconnect. The bitrate has a lot of headspace (using 3500 out of total 20000), connection is stable since after it would disconnect and reconnect, the stream would work fine. sometimes it disconnects multipletimes before it settles down.

I have no clue whats that about so i attached my log file.

Do you have connectivity issues when trying to do other things like playing games / downloading files?

Here's what OBS analyzer says about the log:

Faster preset in use

You have changed the default preset to superfast. The default of veryfast is designed for the optimum balance of quality and CPU usage. Using superfast will result in greatly reduced quality. If possible, try to change other things such as lowering the resolution or FPS before modifying the preset.

Dropped frames detected

57% of your frames were dropped due to poor network conditions. Frames are dropped when data can not be sent fast enough to the server you have selected. This is caused by trying to stream at too high of a bitrate, or by the streaming server you selected not being able to accept the data at the rate you are sending.

Try switching servers, especially if you are using twitch.tv. As a test, you could also try streaming to a different provider to check whether the problem is on your end or not.

Note that some ISPs will temporarily increase your upload speed at the start of a transfer - if you only start to drop frames after 30 - 60 seconds, your ISP is likely doing this and you will need to use a lower bitrate.

Finally, if you are using a wireless connection, keep in mind that interference from other radio sources can cause your connection to stutter and drop frames. A wired connection is strongly recommended when streaming.

See https://obsproject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8870 for more advice on how to fix dropped frames.

Connection stalls detected

Your connection is stalling while sending data. This can result in frame drops, stream freezes and disconnects. Try changing the server you are streaming to, or lowering your bitrate

Nope i never have disconnects or any network issues. Sometimes my adapter crashes with an issue "One or more network protocols were not found on this computer" but i can never seem to fix that one. Other than that issue (happens really rarely) i have no problems at all.
