Question / Help stream stutter

[TheNordNoob]

I been trying to stream to twitch and when previewing my stream from my laptop i have noticed it being very stuttery even tho my game is running very smooth with just a FPS hickup here and there loading new cells (playing fallout new vegas)

I find it strange that it is stuttery like that because when i view the task manager it is only using 30% of the CPU in total when streaming. And the issue is there streaming at 60 and 30 FPS

Here you go, and thanks for the fast reply. I am using the stockholm server.

That's not what I asked for
I asked for twitchtest, not jtvping (which doesn't give useful information for your issue)

 

[TheNordNoob]

Oh shoot i am sorry, i had them mixed up. Here is the twitchtest

Need the upper half of the list as well. You may not be using a good twitch server to connect to (highest quality then highest bandwidth then lowest RTT, in a choice between quality and RTT, ALWAYS take quality over RTT)

Try to use Veryfast Preset instead of Faster especially when you tried streaming 720p60

If possible use the normale Game Capture and make sure you arent running some sort tool that provides something like an FPS Counter.

Here you go, and i don't think it is my connection that is the cause. I just test streamed again having obs up on my second monitor insted of just the chat, and i notice on the bottom where the dropped frames etc is showing the FPS jumps up and down a lot, while trying at 60 and 30 FPS again it dropped to the mid 20's a couple of times for both settings, i also rebooted my PC to try that. Did not make a difference

your internet connection wasn't helping, although your system probably isn't capable of using the "faster" x264 preset.

I am using game capture not monitor, and i have tried very fast and fast, i been googling and fiddling with this all morning trying to sort it out by testing what people have suggested. So this post was a last resort hoping something would show in the log.

Yes you are using game Capture but you are not using the "normal" Game Capture instead you are using Game Capture with Anti Cheat hook, though if it is needed for Fallout then theres no way around.

Oh let me test that thanks, i had it on because it would not capture something else a while back when i was just "thinking" about streaming, so let me try that for 5-6mins and post a new log

Yeah sadly streaming is all about testing for a few people. Its never the same for everyone even though you could be using the identical Hardware.

Changing that made no difference at all, its so strange. I had the task manager up on my other monitor and the CPU usage was never above 25% while testing, so you would think there was more then enough CPU there when it not using more then that. I also tried a FPS setting in between, at 45 seemed a little better maybe, hard to tell sometimes.

I might try to do a clean windows install and see what happens, but i don't see that helping a whole lot really. Only thing installed on it is steam and origins with some games.
