Question / Help Very high ping in game while streaming it on Twitch

[DutchY77]

I`ve tried using this software with all the recommended settings, but when I try to stream Rocket League on Twitch, I get 400+ ping. My upload speed is around 15 Mbps. If I drop the bitrate to 1000, I have normal ping, but not during kick offs and the quality of the stream is not good at all.
Can anybody help me fix this and tell me what I am doing wrong?

 

[DutchY77]

My upload speed is around 10 Mbps

Run your recent streaming log through https://obsproject.com/tools/analyzer . If still having issues after following recommendations, then post log per https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/please-post-a-log-with-your-issue-heres-how.23074/

Where can I find this streaming log?

I ran the log through the analyzer:

Analyzer | OBS

OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) is free and open source software for video recording and live streaming. Stream to Twitch, YouTube and many other providers or record your own videos with high quality H264 / AAC encoding.

obsproject.com

I also uploaded my latest log

What's the URL to your latest log?

Run OBS as Admin, do a brief recording session and then post that log.

I will do that later tonight and post the log in here.
Somebody else said that my 10 Mbps upload speed is not powerful enough for streaming, but I saw many videos on Youtube and nobody mentioned a minimum speed that is required. ALso, my upload speed was mentioned and used to calculate the bitrate that you would use for the stream.

 

[qhobbes]

I'm able to stream to Twtich at 3 Mbps 1080p 29.97 fps with no issues. See Recent broadcasts at https://www.twitch.tv/kolbyspocketbilliards . If you're upload speed is capped at 10 Mbps, you typically want to use around half of that so 5120 kbps or 6144 kbps.

 

[DutchY77]

That quality is pretty good. I am guessing you run OBS Studio as Admin?
Have you ever tried streaming games to see how the quality is?

 

[qhobbes]

No games, just pool, nothing else. We're using a few tricks such as the static borders on the side so more bits can be allocated to the non-static content. Due to the nature of the content (mostly static), we probably get better quality than most at 3 Mpbs, but the claim that "10 Mbps upload speed is not powerful enough for streaming" is complete BS. Twitch specifically lists Bitrate: 6000 kbps for 1080p 60fps.

 

[DutchY77]

That is what I was thinking. But then I still have no idea why my Rocket League game lags so much.
I can also try to stream another game to see if I have the same trouble then as well.

Your provided log does not contain an Output Session.
1) Restart OBS.
2) Start your stream/recording for about 30 seconds. Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.
3) Stop your stream/recording.
4) Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File.
Provide link to new log.

 

[DutchY77]

Done!

I just tried to stream The Division 2 on Twitch and I did not get any lag in the game.
So i think it has to be something with the game Rocket League that uses so much bandwith for me to lag
