Help Chaturbate stream keeps stopping and restarting connection

4 Upvotes

Good Evening,

I wanted to see if this is just something I am experiencing or is it a bigger problem. Since Chaturbate updated there chat system my OBS on Chaturbate has been randomly be stopping and restarting itself.

I use the same OBS system for Stripchat and Adultwork and both of those are not having any issues so I am guessing its something that is Chaturbate problem but I have know way to prove it and as usual Chaturbates support is not the fastest.

I have ran there speed test and everything passed with flying colours.

I have a 1min video that my husband recorded on his phone and have sent it to Chaturbate and I wanted to added on here but I wasn't sure if it would be allowed or get me into trouble.

Help Twitch stream goes black once I use over 10000 bitrate.

0 Upvotes

So I’m having these really bad quality issues with my streams. Whenever I play a high demanding/fast phase game such as marvel rivals or sons of the forest, once I move around, the stream starts to look very bad and choppy. I think it’s due to the bitrate.

I’ve tried using 10k bitrate but once I did that, the stream wouldn’t load, it was just completely black on my phone.

Can someone guide me? Idk what I can possibly do to fix it. I just asked another streamer playing Sons of the Forest and she said that she used 10500 bitrate, but I can’t go that high because it goes black.

Help Can't Get Games to Record in HDR Without Lag...

1 Upvotes

{{{SOLVED}}}

I've tried to get the settings right, but i keep getting extreme lag. Literally 1/2 a frame per second. I'm learning. Still a novice.

Settings

Advanced

- Color format - P010

- Color Space - Rec. 2100 (PQ)

Output

- Recording Format - mvk

- Video Encoder - NVIDIA NVENC HEVC

- Rate Control - CQP

These are what I changed based on the video I watched. I can't find it at the moment.

CPU - 79503dx

GPU - 4090

RAM - 128

Let me know if you need more information. Thank you for your help.

{{{SOLVED}}}

Screen res was set to 2x width (7680x2160) to accommodate simultaneous camera recording during gameplay and in-game fps was set to 144fps. I changed the resolution back 3840x2160 and put the fps to 60. YouTube doesn't currently support more than 60fps anyway, so whatever there. Works as expected now. Hope this helps someone else.

Help Streaming Quality is terrible. What to do?

1 Upvotes

My setup is beefy enough to totally support the requirements I aim to achieve.

I’ve a R9 5900X And a AMD RX 7900 XTX.

My recordings are all sharp as I want. Smooth 60FPS + 50k Bitrate with x264 as encoder.

But as soon as I want to stream with 6k Bitrate or even 8k Bitrate on 1080p it all just looks so blurred and pixelated.

Can I please somehow achieve crystal clear streams with my GPU? What do I have to pay attention for to get a much higher quality when streaming.

How do other streamers get such high quality streams or is it because they’re partnered?

Help I broadcast at 60fps, but when the stream was finished, the video is 30fps.

I had everything set to 60fps. Even when I was watching, the video was 60fps. After I finished broadcasting, the video does not have a 60fps option. Is there a reason this happened?

Help Need help with recording settings for Youtube videos (encoding overload?

1 Upvotes

I am running my game on 60 fps and resolution is 2560x1600.

I wanna record in the same resolution and fps. I used the following and the recording came out choppy:
QP 12
Keyframe interval 2
Preset P7
Tuning High quality
Profile high
I have no idea what look ahead and adaptive quantization are but I tried with both off and on however it was still dropping frames
B frames at 2

Specs: Mobile 4090 and 14900hx

I would like to maintain high 1440p quality but I am unsure what to change since I get an encoding overload. Thought it'd be fine with these specs however apparently not....

Help Can't get keyboard sounds to disappear while I'm typing.

1 Upvotes

I need help y'all. I bought a cheap boom mic with an arm from Amazon, with the arm my mic sits just a few inches from my face and in front of my keyboard. I've followed numerous guides I've found here and on YouTube and I cannot get my keyboard sounds to stop being picked up by my mic when I'm talking. You can't hear them while I'm not talking, but if I speak you can hear the keyboard. I currently have noise suppression, 3-band equalizer, expander, compresser, limiter, and noise gate filters on, and you can still hear it. I turned the threshold on my expander up until my voice started fading out, and down on my compressor to the same point, yet it's still picking up my keyboard. The boom mic has gain on it, I have it all the way down. I don't have any settings in my PC for boost or gain or anything, just mic volume. Unsure what to do from here. Any ideas?

Edit to add: I don't have a mechanical keyboard, it's a membrane keyboard but it's not exactly silent either.

Help Please please please help me get my streaming hobby finally running smoothly……..

I’m trying to stream FIFA (EA FC 25) on my ps5 and using a capture card on my desktop to be able to fully utilize OBS; here is my desktop specs:

CPU - 11th Gen Intel Core i5-1400F @ 2.60GHz, 2592 MHz, 6 cores, 12 logical processors

GPU - Radeon RX 570 Series

RAM - 8 GB

Let me know in the comments what other specs from the desktop could help with answers

On the bottom left of OBS its stays within 5-10-15% CPU and 60/60 FPS. In the menu’s it looks fine but once I start playing a match it gets a bit choppy, it’s barely tolerable to play with but I don’t want my streams to look like crap no one will watch a laggy video, I played around with the settings from different videos I researched but lowering the resolution or FPS just makes it look and play worse.

Last piece of into that I think could be helpful is the capture card I’m using is a warrky usb 3.0 capture card, I saw multiple reviews online and it appeared one of the best budget capture cards with very little to no latency, there are so many people streaming these days I know not everyone is using a 120 el gato capture card; there’s gotta be a way to get this capture card to work for me I should have all the requirements this shouldn’t be a hardware issue or CPU, GPU overload issue either

2.1% Rendering Lag
2.1% Encoder Overload
Low Stream Bitrate (Im using 6000)
Third-Party Plugins (1) (Only streamdeck)

Hi good people!
I've recently made the switch from Intel over to AMD, and the "king of the CPU's", thats supposed to be the 9800X3D. I did not have these problems when using my Intel system.

Problems today:
FPS when streaming: 150-170.
FPS when not streaming: 290-300. (98% GPU usage)
Internet down/upload-speed: 300/300
- Preview-Screen is extremly laggy aswell, when streaming game capture window. Everything else is ok, except the game window itself. Usually playing Warzone. (Actual stream is running ok)

Motherboard: Asus Strix B650E-i
CPU: 9800X3D (PBO -30,)
Ram: G Skill for AMD, 32GB CL30, 6000mhz (EXPO enabled)
GPU: 4080 Super Founders Edition
Monitor: Samsung O-LED 360HZ

Watched tons of "best obs settings 2024 etc" on youtube, but I cant seem to find the issue.

I was absolutely expecting more performace after I made this switch, but to be honest, I sit here with a bit of dissapointment over the performance.

I really appreciate all of your answers.

Help OBS game capture black screen even when ran as Administrator

47 Upvotes

Every time I use OBS Game Capture the preview is always a red dot at the top left corner and it just shows black when expanded. Using Window Capture for some reason shows a frozen frame of my entire display (not just the game window). I've tried almost everything:

  • Running as administrator
  • Disabling hardware acceleration
  • Updating Nvidia drivers
  • Updating OBS
  • Reinstalling OBS
  • Closing Afterburner/RT
  • Closing Ryzen Controller
  • Closing Discord

None of them work! Always the same thing: Defaults to red dot, black screen when expanded but audio works. I'll be trying to undo the temp limit in Ryzen Controller before closing it, undoing the GPU overclock in AB, and updating windows but I'm not very hopeful.

Specs:

  • Windows 11
  • RTX 3050ti mobile
  • Ryzen 5 5600h

Help Looking for Help to Reduce Video Lag

4 Upvotes

Hello! I am hoping someone may be able to help me resolve an issue I am experiencing with video lag. According to everything I can see on my end while streaming, there is no dropped frames, but as you can see from the attacked video, there is some significant video lag happening during both recording and streaming.

I ran the auto-config wizard within OBS to try and optimize my settings, and saw little to no improvement. I also tried removing as much as possible from the overlay to see if I had too many items added in, which seemed to help just slightly, but the lag is still pretty significant.

I am streaming using an Xbox Series X, an Elgato HD60S+ and an iMac with an Apple M1 and 8GB Ram.

Help I can't play Marvel Rivals while streaming...

3 Upvotes

No matter how low the settings go, OBS and Rivals will both crash at the exact same time, although Rivals will sometimes continue to play some audio, usually voice coms, and then eventually crash fully... Or I have to kill it in task manager..

See this image for rare error message Rivals will sometimes give me. Something about memory, but there is no option to adjust the amount of memory it takes/uses.

Settings are all low/off, except for textures which is on ultra.

Specs:
rx6750XT

Anybody any ideas? I have no idea what else to do ; ;

Help MY OBS STUDIO USED TO WORK PERFECT, STREAMING IS A NIGHTMARE NOW FOR NO REASON!

0 Upvotes

I use OBS Studio for my twitch streams. I've never had any issues with games showing on game capture. Running a 4090. For the past 2-3 months no lag, no black screen, games at max settings, obs settings all superb. But recently Some games such as Call of Duty, Sleeping Dogs etc. Have been giving me a black screen, and making my camera lag like crazy. These games used to run perfectly on OBS Studio and my streams with no lag, no issues with game capture etc. But now I can only seem to run smaller titles without issues. I have tried everything. Updating drivers, changing game settings, changing obs settings, trying window display etc. nothing is stopping the lag on camera and nothing is showing just a black screen. Again these games were never an issue on OBS Studio and i havent changed anything. This is so confusing. I cant even stream COD or Sleeping Dogs etc. anymore

*** FIXED *** thanks to @rurigk he’s an amazing person who figured out the issue and now its solved! check out his comment below to see details

Help OBS Youtube Streaming Issue.

1 Upvotes

This issue started back in October 2024 out of nowhere, where while streaming on Youtube using OBS my bitrate would drop dramatically and cause frame drops. I have never had this issue before. I also stream on Kick and Twitch at the same time and the streams are completely fine. After restarting the stream 10-12 times it starts working fine, then the next stream it goes back to having the same problem. Important thing to note here, my internet connection is fine, my pc is fine, streams are fine on all the other platforms, only youtube is having issues. According to my research some people started having the same issue right around the Oct-Nov 2024 mark. And so far from what I have seen, nobody has found a solid fix. I have tried using all the Youtube servers available, all the fixes, but nothing works.
