Hey y’all.
I’m trying to stream Dirty Bomb (since I love it so much), but as soon as I start recording on preview, or live stream, the game instantly gets choppy. Like it’s missing a frame or a few every second. I dialed down the graphics to the lowest with no change.
To make sure it wasn’t my computer, I streamed some League of Legends with no hassle.
Any help?
May wanna go to the advanced section and change to ultrafast, and turn down the FPS, basically kinda tune down your settings.
Not that I can necessarily help, but I imagine those that will be able to are going to need to know your specs and your OBS settings for the stream. A lot of this will depend on what your system is capable of and what you’re asking it to do.
Lots of things can help. The #1 thing that you might want to try out is if you have a 650+ Nvidia card is to use the “NVENC” option in OBS to harness ShadowPlay. It works pretty well for some people including myself. I am not sure if AMD has a similar feature but they might (haven’t seen it as an option in OBS though).
You can also buy a capture card to take the processing requirements off of your CPU, reduce the amount of cores you have assigned in OBS, downsample to 720p, lower your FPS (if you’re trying to do 60), buy a cheap secondary PC to do the video capture.
There are other things that can’t be done but those should be a good start. Also, your FPS could be getting pretty choppy if your CPU is overheating so use Open Hardware Monitor to check temps while streaming + DB. Temps might be fine with LoL going but not fine with DB going.
Well it’s hard to stream on a game when it is not optimized yet : D
And LoL is not very demanding and is really wel optimized.
Like people said:
According to these informations, people will be able to help you. Because they are many way that can lead to a bad quality stream:
-spec computer too low
-bad settings
-not using a good .ini cfg to run the game propely
-low upload and the worste, a fluctuating one. It make setting harsh to configure
You have a to know that the minimum to start “streaming” is 1Mbs. The more you have, the best quality/fluidity will have your stream. But if you got a lots of upload, to make your stream to shinny because viewers will not be able to watch it.
The first step is 480p30. The medium one is 720p and the “best” 1080p.
If you can, you will be able to run your stream at 60fps.
There are few solutions to help with some of these issues:
-low the fps/cpu ressources needed by OBS by using an acquisition card
-use an other computer to do the job
I hope it helped you and because i don’t stream myself, wait for people that will be able to help you.
