OBS Streaming and Recording Lag problems!?!

[vincent nelson]

I downloaded OBS and i tried streaming, but im lagging hard core balls. Like hardcore. its bad. I can't find a fix to this. I've tried changing my bitrate from 2000 to 1300 and it hasnt fixed. Does anyone know what i need to do? im new to all of this stream stuff so any wise words would be awesome

It's probably your internet provider who dosen't provide enough upload! so buying a internet with greater upload might fix the problem

Yeah, Minimum 2Meg for HD Streaming with that bit rate, if you can't upgrade your internet due to where your living or some other reasons then try lowering resolution and bit rate a bit more, use this guide for low upload speed:

Time Warner Cable is my provider and it was saying my upload speed was like 1.6 mbps as my upload speed[DOUBLEPOST=1391776830,1391776702][/DOUBLEPOST]

You should be able to stream in 720P HD with a decent bit rate, try messing with bit rate settings and quality settings.

It could just as well be your computer. A older PC can not keep up with live streaming HD quality. Although, if your upload is 1.6, then I would be shooting for about 1100-1200 bitrate. That way you can play your game as well as stream.

Usually the 3 things I would say you need to stream efficently are:

1) A decent process for encoding the footage.
2) A decent upload speed to stop frames dropping and run smoothly.
3) A good amount of RAM for running external programs and such.
