Hey!

Wanted to stream classic Starcraft and Brood War to Twitch (this is due to my lacky PC not being able to smoothly stream SC2). My gameplay is not distracted by FPS issues, but the stream seems to be laggy. I downloaded a plugin for streaming Brood War (Here http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmes ... _id=391120) from Team Liquid's forums (as you can see). Could this be in the settings or my internet perhaps? Streaming quality is "Best", seems to be 360p max in my opinion. Upload speed is around 1,30 MB/s.

My apologies in case my post is hard to make any sense of. I barely know what I'm doing! :( Also do not know how to include a "log file" in my post.

Any help appreciated. :')

Hey again.

Thanks for posting that link here, helped me greatly! :)
Here are both of the logs (I streamed twice that night).

Here's the log for the first time:

I hope I have brought the logs here correctly. Awaiting response. :)

Are you sure those are the full logs? It looks like some information is missing from the end on both of them.

But from what I can see so far, it looks like you're using Window Capture with Aero disabled, which is generally not good. Window capture works best with Aero enabled. If you need Aero disabled, you should use Monitor capture instead.

I'm not sure how great that CPU is for streaming, either, but your logs don't include your Profiler results so I can't tell if your bottleneck is in the scene processing or in video encoding.

Fix the Aero/Window capture thing I mentioned, and if that doesn't help, change your x264 preset to superfast or ultrafast and see if that helps.

Heya, thanks for your response!

I checked the logs again. I am positive I included everything in the logs - a precise copy/paste.
I wish to point out that I am using a custom plugin specially for classic Starcraft streaming (which I also linked in the first post).

I had some short perioids of test streaming with my friend viewing it. It seems to be that we have managed to increase the quality of the stream with your advice, but not the laggy FPS it seems to be at. We also both agree that my processor is far from enough for streaming. Over clocking is perhaps a choise? Though I wouldn't take a risk since I am expecting to order a whole new PC for myself in parts in the near future.

Your logs aren't complete at all. Make sure you close OBS first before opening them.

Your cpu is really really old, and isn't really suited for doing anything intensive. Overlocking won't make much of a difference. That CPU is from 2006 which only scores about 1300 in passmark. Where as a modern CPU good enough for streaming has about a score of 5000+. My 2500k scores around 6000 stock. Sure it is not that accurate to compare these scores, but I am just trying to say that a modern CPU is at least 5 times faster than what you have.
