Stream Randomly Dropping

Hi Team,

Hoping someone can help me! Been streaming for 4 years now without issue. Randomly my streaming PC began disconnecting from the Twitch server a few weeks ago. It doesn't happen every night, but some nights it happens multiple times. Here are the things I have attempted to remedy:

  1. Replaced modem, xfinity came out and performed network tests and ensured everything was good.
  2. Ran the twitch server tests at r1ch.net, Denver (where I am), Dallas, SLC, Houston and Chicago were all capable server at 100 quality with ping 40 or under.
  3. Fresh format on Streaming PC and Windows 11, OBS install.
  4. Check all my cables and ensure proper connections.
Tonight the stream crashed at 18:58:17.471 in the log I believe, fortunately it was not during the ending of God of War Ragnarok! ;)

Here is my log, hoping some obs guru can save the day, because I am frustrated to heck and back. Super appreciate any help or feedback.
