OBS streaming, anyone else having OBS dropping frames?

[.vu]

So for some reason the framerate in OBS is dropping when I try to stream the game. The game itself runs smoothly at 60 FPS, but the stream is choppy. I tried different encoders (x264, Quick Sync and NVENC) without any luck, I am unsure atm what is causing this OBS behaviour...
Any advice is appreciated!

are local recordings choppy? are you able to record/streams other games smoothly?

u should change ur bitrates most of the time thats the issue

I am able to stream everything else smoothly yes. This is the first time I am encountering this issue without OBS telling me that the amount of encoding to do is overloading my CPU. It's strange. My CPU is also basicly sitting around 50% utilization, lol.

EDIT: Also, it does appear choppy in the preview in OBS, if that is what you meant with local recordings.

No, that didn't work for me. It doesn't seem to be encoding overload, which is why this is so hard to troubleshoot atm... I am not entirely sure what is causing it.

EDIT: Using Steam to stream seems to work better, but the stream is locked at 30 FPS, which is kinda sad. It does outperform a 30FPS-locked OBS stream though, which is weird...

It was working for you? I can't even managed to get the screen to show up on OBS at all unlesss I'm in windowed mode.

It was a bit fiddly... Basicly you have to be ingame for the hook to work. OBS also had to be started before the game, else it wouldn't work. When changing graphics settings, the game would stop being captured in OBS as well for me.

Hmm.. I can at least confirm it works flawlessly for me. 1080p with Borderless Gaming, and OBS recording it.

I streamed earlier today on obs. No issues here.

Are you guys using OBS classic or OBS Studio? I might try out Studio again if you were using that, I'm still mostly using OBS classic.

The game fails to capture properly without going to a slideshow with game capture, the ONLY way I found so far to get it to stream properly and not slideshow is to use windowed mode and window capture. Works flawlessly then. OBS Studio btw.

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/129328050 - I streamed that earlier today. Though I decided against 60fps on stream as 3500kbit doesn't seem enough to get a reasonable final quality.

Classic I guess? I've had it for ages so I don't know. I ran it fine at 60fps and 3500kb/s on max graphics. The only issue i've ever had with the game is during flight missions (or by extention the hacking moments) where using the mouse makes aiming go absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. But my bf states he has no issue as he has lowered the sensitivity on the mouse and was fine. I've yet to try that myself since i've grown accustomed to quickly shifting to the arrow keys for aiming and doing quite well with it in hacking/flight. (however flight is still weird since heavy attacks are linked to my mouse bound or \ which is...weird to me. Meh.)

It's complicated. But overall I haven't had any issues once i've gotten the hang of things. Maybe dodging could of been bound to a single key and a direction like some games rather than...you know. Double tapping? I hate double tapping lol It's so unresponsive sometimes in ALL games that impliment it.
