Question / Help Suddenly game lags while OBS is running

[glenn]

Whenever I try to stream Rocket League via Twitch, Rocket league lags really bad and the video preview in OBS is moving really fast, this didn't always happen, it use to work perfectly.

System:
Windows 10
Nvidia GEFORCE gtx 970
16gb of ram
1tb hdd
AMD vishera FX-8370

Still looks wrong. Is that OBS Studio? If yes, post in the OBS Studio forum, if no, then create another log by encoding for at least 5 minutes of high action gameplay using the best settings you've been able to manage so far.

OBS stats look good, but you have some settings that don't play well with Twitch:

04:53:01: Video Encoding: x264
04:53:01: fps: 30
04:53:01: width: 852, height: 480
04:53:01: preset: veryfast

04:58:29: Total frames encoded: 9799, total frames duplicated: 17 (0.17%)
04:58:29: Total frames rendered: 9818, number of late frames: 3 (0.03%) (it's okay for some frames to be late)

You should set the Key Interval (keyint) to 2 seconds (i.e. 60 frames). You have it set to 250 frames, which Twitch doesn't like. Also considering you're sending at 852x480, you should set the bitrate lower. Set it to 2000 bitrate and buffer at most, but you can get away with even lower than that, like 1500 or even 1000.

The total frames duplicated is only 0.17%, which is excellent. OBS is running fine, I wouldn't worry about the preview window. If your preview window is actually from Twitch, then you shouldn't watch your stream from the same IP you're sending it from, that causes problems. But I assume you meant the OBS preview window.
