hello. and again i have a problem i need help with. Some ppl i know said that my strean lagged for them when i stream league of legends with screen capture but doesnt when i stream crysis3 or tomb raider with game capture...i have 0 dropped frames and they have suffisent internet.

While you aren't really dropping/lagging frames, using Monitor Capture with 45fps and Faster preset really isn't doing you any favors here. If you must use Monitor Capture for the Champion select, it's best to put it in a completely separate scene. Capture the actual gameplay with Game Capture. There is a scene switcher plugin in the Plugins forum that will change scenes for you automagically.
I really don't recommend changing your preset from veryfast, though. 2500 bitrate is actually more than plenty for 720p45fps. Setting your buffer so high is also not very necessary either.

Try to change following things in OBS since they might be the cause of the issues .
try different twitch servers to stream to,
On a sidenote you can stream Lol in 720p @ 2000 bitrate and it looks good. Also Game Capture is highly recommended for Lol!
if that doesn't help set up a comparison stream on hashd.tv. If it is not lagging on hashd but on twitch it is, you know whats up!
I have similar problems streaming and watching on twitch , even more since everyone converted from Own3d to twitch (especially during League of Legends tournaments and increased viewers watching on Twitch)!
Some days i can watch some high bitrate streams and on other days those streams stutter horribly for me even though they haven't changed anything. My internet isn't the problem either, i have tested it multiple times(and i am pretty sure 150 down and 50 up is more than enough to use twitch.tv as a viewer or streamer).
I am not saying twitch.tv is bad.

ok i tried streaming with new settings....i got a lot of dropped frames....what could be the problem?

Holy [moley] that is a lot of scenes
Anyway, your log doesn't seem to indicate a huge amount of dropped frames...0.85% is not too bad, though if there were grouped up over the course of a 3-hour stream then you might have had worse performance at isolated moments. Is there a certain part of the VOD we should be looking at?
Dropped frames result from network problems...try decreasing your bit rate, changing Twitch servers, not downloading things in the background, etc.
What is your upload speed?

Make your webcam a global source, otherwise it will lag your stream every time you switch to/away from it, which can cause frame drops. Every time you switch scenes right now, your device has to turn off/on. This is really bad for the stream, and why I made global sources in the first place. Perhaps I should have designed it better to be more automatic for devices, not entirely sure.
If you still have problems with dropped frames after making it a global source, then you may have to also lower the bitrate.

run this test viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2613 and try it on all 3 servers (uk,uk2,amesterdam) see which one gives you a green indicator at the highest bitrate. keep lowering the bitrate by 100 and restarting the stream until you find just that.Karol401 said:
