[Paroxysm]

So for the past 4 months I've been using X-split with no issues at all. I'm from Australia, and the internet isn't the greatest here, but I've been able to stream with decent settings for quite some time. That was, until about 3 days ago, where all of a sudden I experienced large frame drops on stream whilst playing starcraft 2. I'm really not sure how to go about this.

My PC specs are as follows:
Windows 7 Home Premium
Gigabyte X79-UD5 Motherboard
Intel Core i7-3930k @3.20GHz - 6 cores
16GB RAM
Radeon HD7970GFX Card.




Below are the logs from my xsplit bandwidth test.

Your bandwidth to server is probably not sufficient.
You can redo the test, but if the test consistently gives you a RED signal, you may consider lowering your combined audio bitrate and max video bitrate to below 628 kbps.

As I said, this lack of upload speed only occurs when I'm trying to stream. When I attempt speedtests, all results are regular! I tried using other streaming software to no avail. The same problems occur. I have run antivirus checks, checked through firewalls and tried to research on the internet, but I couldn't find much. If anyone needs more information to help me out, please ask! I will be here daily as I have been trying to get into the business of streaming games professionally and need to fix this problem ASAP!

EDIT: PC has not been overheating at all while streaming. Also, I had not changed any xsplit settings until after I had been having troubles for several days.

All xsplit bandwidth testing servers are equally poor with regards to upload speeds. My internet is not capped, in fact only 3%has been used.

I have also just tried using TCPRelay, which did not help to improve my upload speeds while streaming. Perhaps this is a twitch based problem? This has never occurred before so I'm not sure why it's happening now. I have contacted my ISP - Telstra. The connection to my modem was reset both on their end and on mine. This has not fixed my problem and upload speeds whilst streaming to twitch are still reduced significantly.

Thanks,

Nick
