Your log contains streaming sessions with dropped frames. This can only be caused by a failure in your internet connection or your networking hardware. It is not caused by OBS. Follow the troubleshooting steps at:
Dropped Frames and General Connection Issues.
The encoder is skipping frames because of CPU overload. Read about
General Performance and Encoding Issues.
The Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling ("HAGS") feature added with Windows 10 is currently known to cause performance and capture issues with OBS, games and overlay tools. It's an experimental feature and we recommend disabling it via
this screen or
these instructions.
At least one of your audio devices has a sample rate that doesn't match the rest. This can result in audio drift over time or sound distortion. Check your audio devices in Windows settings (both Playback and Recording) and ensure the Default Format (under Advanced) is consistent. 48000 Hz is recommended.
OBS Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
s Microsoft Modern Webcam 8L3-00001 (Microsoft Modern Webcam): 16000 Hz
Having the YUV Color range set to "Full" will cause playback issues in certain browsers and on various video platforms. Shadows, highlights and color will look off. In OBS, go to "Settings -> Advanced" and set "YUV Color Range" back to "Limited".
Display and Game Capture Sources interfere with each other. Never put them in the same scene.
You are running Windows 11 22H2, which will be supported by Microsoft until October 2024.
A slower x264 preset than 'veryfast' is in use. It is recommended to leave this value on veryfast, as there are significant diminishing returns to setting it lower. It can also result in very poor gaming performance on the system if you're not using a 2 PC setup.
An encoder failed to start. This could result in a bitrate stuck at 0 or OBS stuck on "Stopping Recording". Depending on your encoder, try updating your drivers. If you're using QSV, make sure your iGPU is enabled. If that still doesn't help, try switching to a different encoder in Settings -> Output.
Dynamic Bitrate is enabled. Instead of dropping frames when network issues are detected, OBS will automatically reduce the stream quality to compensate. The bitrate will adjust back to normal once the connection becomes stable. In some (very specific) situations, Dynamic Bitrate can get stuck at a low bitrate. If this happens frequently, it is recommended to turn off Dynamic Bitrate in Settings -> Advanced -> Network.
Network Optimizations are enabled. This option is disabled by default. It is only suggested to enable Network Optimizations if you are having issues streaming. The setting can be toggled in Settings -> Advanced -> Network.
TCP Pacing (Low Latency mode) is enabled. This option is disabled by default. It is only suggested to enable TCP Pacing if you are having issues streaming. The setting can be toggled in Settings -> Advanced -> Network.
