Please try to avoid bumping your own thread, especially within 24 hours. Everyone here is a volunteer. Someone will reply if they have time and if they have something useful to contribute to the thread.

When you post logs, could you please post them as links via OBS Studio's built-in log uploader or attachments instead of pasting them into your post? Posts have character limits, so long logs can get cut off. Pasting them into the post also makes them harder to read.

DirectX is failing throughout your log. Run dxdiag and make sure that there are no errors.

Don't put "opencl=true" in your custom x264 settings. It doesn't help.

Set your x264 preset to veryfast.

After that, try streaming again, and post a new log if the error occurs.

Hi,

this time you are now getting this "Number of dropped frames due to insufficient bandwidth/connection stalls: 8128 (53.4%)"

Can you run the twitch bandwidth tool and ensure your region is ticked and select 30s. Then see which come out at 80> quality and stream to that. I see you are currently streaming to london with a upload of 17mb and a bitrate of 1400 this should be fine as long as you are local to it.

Looks good though with a 16ms and 10000+ i would have expected 100 a the Q. Try changing over the network cable as it looks like you are still having some network packet drops and these can be the cause.

Your bitrate settings were reduced from 1400 to 1000 when you switched from London to Amsterdam. That could have affected the test.

I don't stream to Europe (I'm US Region), and I don't stream often enough (hardly ever) to have any real data on my dropped frame averages. Though, from what I recall, I didn't drop many frames, if any. It's possible that the London server or nearby Internet traffic routes are just congested when you're trying to stream. The Internet is ever-changing, after all.

If your service consistently drops frames, you may have to talk to your ISP about their service.

I noticed that I went from 0.001% dropped frames to 55%~ when I upgraded from OBS 1.6.2 to 1.6.4. There is definitely a bug or new setting/config change needed in the current version. Reinstalling 1.6.2 fixed the issue for me.

If you're having issues with OBS Studio 0.16.4 that weren't present in 0.16.2, please make your own thread about that issue. When you do, please include log files from both versions.
