Yeah, looks like the encoder is having a bit of a hard time.

Try downscaling to 480p and raising x264 preset to superfast or ultrafast.

If your base resolution is 1920x1080, like in the log, then the 2.25 downscale should be 480p.

Worked nicely! One question though, when I stream I also want to interact with people in the twitch chat but I don't have two monitors and I don't want to alt tab too much it freezes the stream in one pictures until I alt tab back.

Click to expand...

You'll have to run the game in windowed mode, if it supports it. (never played Hearthstone, but I assume it would since it's a Blizzard game)

If you choose to run it in windowed mode at a smaller resolution, make sure you adjust your OBS Video settings otherwise you'll end up with black borders around your stream. The "Base Resolution" should be the game's resolution, unless you're using an overlay of some kind.

You are severely bottlenecked by your processor, there's likely not a whole lot you are going to be able to do.

Oh lol I was dumb, my max bitnate for the video encoding was 2000 and it lagged the entire stream. Now I can 720p without a problem but there is something else that is strange:
Whatever I stream only appears 10 seconds later in the stream itself, is this normal?

Yes, if you're streaming to twitch they now use HLS to deliver streams to viewers which requires the player to download and buffer video chunks in order for the playback to start.

When I don't fullscreen and stream a game it gets like 18 fps, should I do 480p for monitor streaming or whatnot? In fullscreen I can 720p 30 fps no problem

If you're using monitor capture then use windows capture instead other than that you're probably running the game at a way lower resolution in fullscreen which your cpu can sort of keep up with.
