Streaming Diablo IV, an bitrate just drops to 0 and OBS Freezes upon trying to click Stop Stream

Hi, new here but.. from reading other posts, is to post a log file.. I hope this is the correct one.

I use to be able to stream Diablo IV for 10 hour stream no problem an now a few my bitrate would just drop to 0 and when i try to click on settings or any button, OBS completly freezes an i have to force quit it. Any idea of what this could be? or how to fix it?>

Is there a possiblity of this being a ddoss attack? Where it makes the bitrate just hit 0 (im not sure how this all works)

If OBS freezes, it's some OBS issue resp. some local thing on your computer. Your bitrate is probably dropping to 0 because OBS became frozen, not the other way round (OBS freezes because of the bitrate).

It's probably not a network issue, because if your network is being disconnected, becomes unstable, or you being DDOS'd, OBS would simply disconnect, because it isn't able to communicate with the streaming server any more. But not freeze.

If it comes to your configuration and your log, change your color range to limited in OBS (will improve your graphics quality because of less bandwidth required) and disable HAGS in Windows (it is said HAGS will introduce instability). Other reasons for instability could be overheating or overclocking. May be a complete uninstall and reinstall of the video driver could help.

I also recommend to uninstall (!) and not use the Nvidia audio effect filters while troubleshooting. This stuff is brand new and very complex and may be not completely stable within the Nvidia libraries, especially if you don't use the absolute newest and latest Nvidia API libraries (they are a separate download and need to be installed separately from the GPU driver, as far as I know).
