Question / Help Stuttering Stream, no lag ingame

[William Trusler]

Hey guys!
I want to casually stream while gaming and see if I get some viewers but I can't seem to get it working!?
Read multiple forum threads and guides but still the stream seems to buffer every now and then for no reason!
I have 0 dropped frames and the bitrate is in the green. Stream configuration on Twitch dashboard says configuration "Excellent".
Any ideas as to why this is happening?

I've left the stream running on Heroes of the Storm replay for you guys to see what I mean.

It also doesn't seem to make much (if any) difference if I change to 1080p or 720p with 60fps or bitrate 2200, 2500 or 3000.

There is nothing you can do about this.

...Ok

Anyone else?

It's probably your upload speed isn't high enough to match your settings.

At 8,200 kB/s up? That's while streaming too, otherwise I'll reach up to 10,000! :(

For whatever reason it doesn't seem to be lagging as much now.. Could it just be Twitch having issues?
Anyone mind just taking a few seconds to check it out? Just streaming music right now.

Let me clarify, if you are not dropping frames, but your stream still buffers then it's most certainly a twitch issue.
Also remember that unpartnered streams with a low viewercount (<80 or 90) will be served to the viewers from a san francisco server.

Woah really? I had no idea it works like that. :( I guess thats the root of my issue then.. Thanks for the info
