Problems while Livestreaming on Twitch

[Evreus]

Hey guys.

 

I've been streamin for a long time, so i know my way around OBS Streamlabs or OBS regular, since thats what i use. Now, 4 or 5 days ago i was trying to stream Metro Last Light, which for today's standards is not a demanding game.

I was using a Lenovo Legion with a Core i5 7300HQ @ 3.1Ghz / 16GB DDR4 2400Mhz Dual Channel / nVidia GTX 1050Ti 4GB / an M2.SSD Pcie x4 240Gb and 1TB Drive. Also using a cooling pad for extra cooling.

Now, i had a good frames in Metro, somewhere around 70ish on the very high settings, i have a 1GB Internet Connection and when tested on Speedtest with the server Amsterdam or Frankfurt i get 46 Ping / 436Mbps Down / 512Mbps Up.

I'll post Screenshots of the settings i'm using. And i've always used these settings since my rigs were always about the same power.

 

Anyway, the game would run at 60+ fps, but when i would check the stream, it was runing in 7 - 21 FPS. i tried switching the adapter from NVEC to Software, didnt make any difference.

So, i traded 2 days ago my Laptop for a Desktop Machine with a Asus Dual 1060 GTX 6Gb / Ryzen 5 2400G / 16GB Corsair Vengance @3000 Mhz / WD Green M2 SSD 120Gb / 500Gb Toshiba HDD and a AS Rock AB350 PRO Motherboard.

 

After the trade a did a fresh install of windows, everything looked fine, so i tried streaming again, since i thought it was something wrong with the Laptop i had.

I started this new game that came out Apex Legends. Same settings as before, same problem. Good In-Game FPS 45 - 64 on the High Settings 1080p and 7 - 21 Fps On Stream.

*Note: I used to stream Assassins Creed Origins from a PC Before i had the laptop, with exactly the same config as the one i have now, just an i5-4670k instead of the Ryzen , and the RAM @2600Mhz. and had no problems at all, or other games such as League of Legends, Ring of Elysium even PUBG.

 

So, i tried searching the web, but alot of the posts are old, and outdated. 

 

I know its a long post, i hope i did well in explaining the situation and didnt leave out any information that someone that can help might need.

 

Thanks for reading all of this mess.

have you always been streaming on 1080p60? for most people i think 720 on twitch is enough. have you tried a lower resolution?

I have been streaming both 720p and 1080p. Been getting more or less the same result as in my gaming impact.

hmm is the indicator on the bottom right of obs studio always on green? cuz i noticed (on mine not sure if its universal) that sometimes the indicator would go yellow, orange, or red and the dropped frames would not budge like it didnt drop frames but it did when i checked the vod. or see if its your internet.. you can try a test stream with a ridiculously low bitrate and check if it still low fps or something.. not sure about this but its weird.. not as weird as my problem with twitch tho haha

I got a 1Gb connection, internet's not a problem. I just streamed using Geforce Experience, and it worked flawlessly. So im thinking its something with OBS maybe?

weird that its like that cuz you're using the same encoder as shadowplay is using, afaik. try a fresh install of obs and delete everything in the appdata folder and documents folder to see if that does anything... if you're fine with reconfiguring everything

I was thinking of maybe getting an old version of OBS, since maybe that may be the problem? Maybe its something about the latest updates that is screwing with my Computer, idk. If that dosnt work, ill just use GeForce Epxperience

i dont know a lot of people using shadowplay to stream haha or you can try streaming on other platforms if that helps (i doubt it).. best bet would be remove your pc of everything obs and re-install.. simply un-installing obs doesnt fix it cuz there's some leftover data left in the appdata and documents folder. Or maybe try using restream.io if that fixes it

Can you upload the log file from OBS? If you press help -> logfiles -> upload last
