... even though it shouldn't.
I have 3 Mbps upload speed (see here) and I'm trying to stream around 1600k video + 160k audio. Whenever I'm streaming, people in NS2 complain that I'm warping, lagging and such. I notice some warping on my side too, and my ping sometimes spikes to 150-ish then back to 30-50. I double-checked everything and I'm pretty sure the internet connection is mainly dedicated to my PC, with nothing else really using up the bandwidth. My internet connection is very reliable and fast, without traffic shaping or anything. I also made sure to keep an eye on the total bandwidth consumption of my computer while streaming and it seems to be using around 250 KB/s (including the game), well within the limits (I can easily hit 400 KB/s of upload). No P2P software running, no downloads, no YouTube, nothing.
When I lower the stream bandwidth to around 1 Mbps the lag spikes go away, but then the stream quality is just plain bad. I want to hit around 2500k for video bandwidth so I can begin streaming 720p, but going this high causes even more lag spikes. I could easily push that bandwidth in XSplit (with TCPRelay) without lagging.
I haven't tried the test build yet, but I'll give it a shot tomorrow. I heard it has some sort of fix for ping issues. Until then, I'd like to hear your opinion on this. Anything else I should test?
