As I understand, delayed = "buffering" wheel for viewers?
Question / Help When OBS Studio will be fixed?

I am not sure anymore what it means, but from what Jim is saying, it sounds like it is possible to get rid of most frame drops in OBS Studio, but at the cost of something.
For the record, I got fed up seeing so many frames dropped and switched to classic. I streamed for 4 more hours, and had 0 frame drops. So this definitely proves what Jim is saying. OBS Studio is fundamentally different than Classic for me to go from 3000 dropped frames to 0. If he can make Studio drop 0 frames like classic, I will probably never look back to classic again.

Still waiting for some feedback. I really do want to ditch Classic, but I can't cope with seeing 3000 dropped frames in 4 hours of streaming, compared to 0 dropped frames in Classic in 4 hours.

Erm, Jim vaguely says something about doing a fix, and now this thread goes silent? I am unsure what to think of this? I guess those without rock solid stable internet connections don't matter? It is interesting that Twitch screws over the little guy, and now apparently OBS does too :( Sticking with Classic until you sort this problem out.

I am using 64 bit, and yes the dropped frames affect the stream because when I go into past broadcasts I see the stream jumping every few minutes or so. And if you do some math: 3000 frames dropped = 100 seconds gone. That is over 1 minute. This is far from "not much". I posted my logs from OBS classic and studio on another thread. But I will put them here as well.
Classic:

Studio:

It would be awesome if my problem is a setting that is different from Classic. But based off what other posters say, it sounds like the problem with Studio is that it is too sensitive. If you do not have a rock solid connection, then you will have problems.
Here is a scenario on Classic that makes me wonder if it applies: My viewer the other night said after a whole night of no buffering, there was one massive 7 second drop toward the end. Is this related to the "buffering in Classic" Jim talks about? Because I honestly would rather my stream drop out for 7 seconds every hour than have it do micro-jumps/stutters every other minute.
Obviously in a perfect world I would want Twitch to support the little guy like they did in the past (source options? Why are they scrooges now?), but if we can at least alleviate this by tweaking OBS, it would be awesome.

Been a week now since a response. Anyone?

Been over 2 weeks now, and no response? Is this one of those bugs that gets swept under the rug, pretending the problem is not there?

It appears so....

Calling this a bug is incorrect. The program, and the dropped frames, are functioning exactly as they are intended to. This would be a feature request to allow a similar sort of buffering that OBS Classic allowed, however this can have a very negative impact on delay (and possibly other detrimental effects).
I have streamed for 48+ hours before, with 0 dropped frames using OBS Studio, because my connection and network are very stable. I understand that this can be frustrating for users who have less than ideal internet situations, but calling this a bug is just not accurate.
