Hey guys, I recently started to stream and I keep getting lag in game, even when I'm playing with AI it lags and it annoys me a lot

+ Show +

My upload speed is

And I am trying to stream at 720p

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate
Intel Core i7 2600
8GB Ram
Nvidia Geforce GTX 550TI
1920x1080

Can anyone help me out?

TAminimat · Tue, 29th-Nov-2011, 5:07 PM

Should be able to stream perfectly fine with those specs and that upload. Is it the game that is lagging or the stream? Also if it is just the stream does it lag for you of for the people watching?

**TAEdgE** · Tue, 29th-Nov-2011, 5:10 PM

I may be able to get someone who can help, but what i can say is be thankful you live in singapore, that net is ridiculous.

The game starts to lag when I broadcast with xsplit I will just keep getting massive spikes

NvRossi · Tue, 29th-Nov-2011, 5:15 PM

post up your xsplit settings and we'll be able to help you better!

Meatex · Tue, 29th-Nov-2011, 5:16 PM

sounds like its a problem with your ISP
make sure you are doing a speed test to where the twitch.tv servers are - they aren't in singapore
try lowering your bitrate in stream settings

MooZfY · Tue, 29th-Nov-2011, 5:21 PM

+ [Xsplit Settings 1] +

+ [Xsplit Settings 2] +

1280x720 and 30FPS

TAminimat · Tue, 29th-Nov-2011, 5:28 PM

Should be working fine with those settings, your computer and your internet. Do a speed test to twitch servers which I think are in San Francisco.

MooZfY · Tue, 29th-Nov-2011, 5:37 PM

Lol this is to San Francisco T_________T

Meatex · Tue, 29th-Nov-2011, 5:38 PM

if you are streaming at 720p not sure if 1000k bit rate is enough :S
but it seems like streaming i causing problems so that bnet isn't getting enough bandwidth

TAminimat · Tue, 29th-Nov-2011, 5:42 PM

That dl/up probably just isnt enough to stream 720p. Try lowering it to 480 and see what happens.

Shieldz · Tue, 29th-Nov-2011, 6:00 PM

i think it works but yeah try 480 should be a lot better.

Rageboredguy · Tue, 29th-Nov-2011, 6:11 PM

Holy crap, i only get 0.7 MB/s uploads, i have to move lol!

You realize you're cry-facing about getting the same ping to San Fran that Australians get to SEA b.net right?

**Frogmite** · Tue, 29th-Nov-2011, 6:16 PM

Are you connected on LAN or on wifi? Streaming in wifi will make you lag, badly.

I live in Singapore and i never had more than 1mb/s upload. Is this a bug from speetests.net because it looks unreal.

**syfChadMann** · Tue, 29th-Nov-2011, 6:17 PM

What I would do for 72.28 down and 28.77 up....
I live in country NSW and get 1.2 down and 0.21 up.... T_T

TAminimat · Tue, 29th-Nov-2011, 6:20 PM

To San Fran

TAEdarus · Tue, 29th-Nov-2011, 6:22 PM

Wait, what?
Are you on mobile internet / wireless shit Chad?
Coz thats what i'm on RIGHT now and its faster than that!

***Fingers crossed stupid Telstra get their asses here to hook the proper net up soon!!!***

TAEdarus · Tue, 29th-Nov-2011, 6:25 PM

Thats Optus USB crapshit internet... IS your service provided by homing pidgeon Mini?

I'm using Fiber Optic
No I don't think it's a bug I tried it again and here are the results

TAEdarus · Tue, 29th-Nov-2011, 6:46 PM

Holy shitsticks.
Umm, maybe you're on a fibre optic to the server you're pinging...

Try Sydney or something?

CZE · Tue, 29th-Nov-2011, 6:47 PM

Zoom you should use dxtory to capture and xsplit to simply broadcast. What I've found with xsplit is that while its codec is really nice, its method of screen capture is astoundingly inefficient and it just flat out won't work on many setups. That's the core of your problem. With dxtory you'll get almost identical results with your game running as if you weren't even streaming

.

Edit: oh I thought your problem was fps related, my bad. I really think 1000 bitrate is overkill, you can still get wonderful quality with a bitrate of 750.

TAEdarus · Tue, 29th-Nov-2011, 6:49 PM

Strange that it'd cause so much lag on that connection, altho your SanFran speed is woeful...

Have you set the affinity on Xspilt / SC2 if you have a multi-core system to ensure they're not getting rooted by processors by chance?

I heard doing that is not safe? o..o idk x.x

TAEdarus · Tue, 29th-Nov-2011, 6:51 PM

Depends how well you built your PC and how much you fiddle...
I normally run SC2 on half the cores, and the encoder / streamer on all of them (if they allow you to).

If you do not have a good PC build then don't bother.

Unstable · Tue, 29th-Nov-2011, 6:54 PM

With those line stats i doubt bandwidth is an issue, have you tried going into the scene options (right clicking on the window your capturing) and making sure capture for motion picture is NOT ticked?

MooZfY · Tue, 29th-Nov-2011, 6:55 PM

@Unstable Yup it's unticked

@TAedarus I tried to ping to Sydney, results are Ping:359 DL=0.16mbps .. Upload:0.58mbps

TAEdarus · Tue, 29th-Nov-2011, 6:57 PM

Do you have the latest version of drivers for everything in your PC and the latest Xsplit?

Yup, I have all my latest drivers updated

Damn you and your incredible connection T_T really wierd that this is happening.

What ISP are you with?

Nope - I just don't live in the city with high speed internet... bring on the NBN!!

I am with M1

mGGAequitas · Tue, 29th-Nov-2011, 10:03 PM

I have a similar problem, sometimes when i open xsplit everything lags like shit, i get like 10 fps on starcraft even on low settings, i don't even need to be broadcasting. Everything just lags like a bitch

My fps doesn't lag, my net will lag lol

Unstable · Tue, 29th-Nov-2011, 11:01 PM

Have you tried doign a local recording and looking at the VOD to see if it is lagging in the VOD? if it IS lagging int he VOD then you have frame tearing that happens with xsplit and some video cards.

if there is NO lag in teh VOD, then the twitch/own3d or w/e server you are connecting too has a bad international bandwidth connection.

I assume you live in singapore? which means yea those speeds are great, but if your connecting to USA server you might be getting like .5mpbs upload to that server (this happened to me at the FXO office recently)

crAzerk · Tue, 29th-Nov-2011, 11:01 PM

@Frogmite - We are using normal internet, probably 10mb/s , Zoom is on M1's Fibre Optics (100mb/s) that's why he gets those speeds.

It could be an M1 issue, have you tried calling them? Maybe they can have an answer. I think nirvana has the same plan as you so maybe ask him?

MooZfY · Tue, 29th-Nov-2011, 11:17 PM

It doesn't lag when I'm doing local recording, I've already tried to use own3d still same problem T.T

Kyoshi · Tue, 29th-Nov-2011, 11:17 PM

Wtf 93 down and 34 up. I get 25ms 5.17 down and 0.7 up to nearest server. LOL

If its not lagging on local recording it is 100% the connection to the ingest server, I dont know if non own3d partners can connect to the singapore ingest or not, but it should say AP partner in the "server" dropdown in the channel setup.

This is the server I managed to get own3d to install because malaysia net cant stream to anywhere
