Hello, as you guys may or may not know I do a lot of streaming.
With the recent release of obs, I instantly fell in love. My FPS doesn't drop much, the UI is so user-friendly, and making adjustments on the fly is super easy.
However, this past week of streaming has been terrible. When streaming with obs, I've been constantly losing connection to the twitch.tv servers, my stream has been running at less than 30fps (usually around 5-15, making it not much better than a slideshow).
Thinking it might just be my internet, I coped with it for awhile. However, yesterday I decided to try out xsplit again, just to see, and it worked perfectly fine.
Now, the easy solution would be to just use xsplit full-time, but sadly my PC isn't good enough for that, and I can't afford the fps drop while I'm scrimming/playing in matches.
Here's what the vod looked like when I switched back to xsplit:

And here's just one of the many 30 second to 2 minute vods obs makes, showing the choppiness:

My bitrate is identical in both, and changing the server I was streaming to didn't seem to do anything.

Mine did that once. Pretty sure it hasn't happened again.

My internet is generally very good, but I've noticed that OBS is doing the same thing. Most of the time, as soon as I start streaming, my ping will spike and then moments later it will go back to normal (which I found out is because the stream stopped because the connection was lost).

Have you tried FFSplit? It's not as nice as OBS or Xsplit but it's a good middle ground between the two as far as system resources and stream performance.

For me it's random. Like, it'll start up fine, and run fine for 2 hours, then just randomly die. I've tried testing to see what it was that kills it, but I don't have any idea.

DrakeMegrimHave you tried FFSplit? It's not as nice as OBS or Xsplit but it's a good middle ground between the two as far as system resources and stream performance.
It doesn't have any features. Like, literally all you can do is stream your game and have non-transparent images (unless you do like a bright pink background and set that to the transparent color).

change the server you used, sometimes the twitch servers are bad.

FckingMadchange the server you used, sometimes the twitch servers are bad.
But they're fine when I use xsplit, and not on OBS. Besides, I've tried 4-5 different twitch servers with no success already.

I haven't had problems with losing connection with OBS. Are you using the latest? And what are your settings?

I'm using the latest version, 0.43a.
I can show you my settings too; but they're literally identical to my xsplit settings, which run fine.

holy shit THERE WAS A FUCKING HURRICANE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COUNTRY PLEASE GIVE IT A WEEK OR 7 TO GET YOUR INTERNET BACK UP. fucking really, first world problems.
that being said, if you used an east coast server to stream try switching it to a west or central server because the hurricane and stuff.

Try making the Send Buffer Size higher. I had mouse lag with obs for a while turned down the Send Buffer size, and the stream would freeze a lot, and the audio was fine. Looks like the you have the same issue

Shit like this is why your ban thread exists instead of making some stupid comment about something that apparently you know nothing about, just don't post at all

he said it works fine on xsplit and he's tried multiple servers so they aren't the problem but alas you're the worst poster on these forums so you most likely didn't even read that.
