Question / Help Twitch Drops w/ no dropped frames and 1000 upload.

[T90Official]

Hello, I'm really hoping I can receive some insight on my recent twitch drops. They are very confusing and so I'd like to supply more informed individuals on the problem. Thank you in advance my friends!

I recently moved to a more stable (fiber) internet connection. I have yet to experience any frame drops during my streams here which is good. However, I have still encountered a few random drops. This tends to happen when a lot is going on during the game (i play an RTS game, so when more units are on the map vs less) and that's really the only consistent thing about it.

I have included a log file from two different streams, and i'm looking to determine whether this is network related, twitch related, or PC related.

Here is a very odd occurrence that might help you as well. I noticed that when I dropped the stream tends to drop in minute increments with 4,14, or 44 seconds. Here are a few recent examples with screenshots.

If i can have any insight on this it would be wonderful. I'm just looking to find the root cause so i can deal with it. This information will also be sent to Twitch (as it's quite time sensitive and i'm not sure whom is the culprit at this point).

Many thanks

Bad encoder settings. A custom x264 settings, probably qpmax, is causing VBV underflow that can cause too much bitrate spikes.

Hey Sam, thanks for the response.

Yesterday I streamed successfully for 4:14:14 and then I had a drop again. I had all custom encoder settings removed as well. This is another occurrence with the 14 and the 4. Any guesses? Thank you
