Stream seems to be fine for a brief moment then starts looking very choppy

[ThisIsCatalin]

Hi guys, I'm quite new into the streaming industry and still yet to learn many things. I have recently started to test out OBS + Youtube streaming to see how capable the hardware of my PC is but frankly I have no clue about the settings.

While doing this testing, I have opened the Dota 2 game just to see if the stream is steady or if the CPU can handle it; Just like the title says, it seems to work fine for few seconds and then it becomes really laggy with the stream looking like static images on a slideshow rather than a smooth live action.

While the PC is not a high-end one, I still have a bit of hope left that it can somehow make it happen. I have attached a log file maybe some of you will kindly advise me? Regards.

1. Run OBS as admin. Right click on the shortcut, properties, advanced, check box, ok, apply, ok.
2. Build your scene with Game/Window/Video Device Capture etc. Do not use Display Capture.
3. Your log contains no streaming session. Results of this log analysis are limited. Please post a link to a clean log file.
To make a clean log file, please follow these steps:

1) Restart OBS as admin.
2) Start your stream for about 30 seconds. Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.
3) Stop your stream.
4) Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File. Send that link via this troubleshooting tool.
