OBS makes ping spike

J0E24 · May 17, 2017

I am trying to stream CSGO, and Bf4 on twitch. I will be playing on my pc. The settings i have for OBS is 2500 bitrate, keyframe 2 and profile main. My upload speed is 1.5/2 mbs.

Now when i have tryed to stream, my ping in game in csgo spikes to anything above 200+. As well for my stream it becomes very laggy.

Is there any settings that i can use so that i can stream with my low upload speed?

Thanks

You streaming at 720P?? You'll have to stream at 360P or 480P at the most to lower your ping rate. Lower your bitrate to 2000.

I would like to stream in 720, and I'll lower my bitrate to 2000, is 480 the highest quality I'll be able to stream?

You could still try 720 but it'll look really pixelated.

If i lower my bitrate and still try to stream in 720p will it cause my ping to be really high?

as well how am i able to set the settings for the resolution? is it through obs itself?

I don't know, You'll have to judge that yourself.

Everything is done thru OBS.

It may also depend on how your router and or modem are handling the upload traffic. If they're low quality garbage they may not be able to upload and download at the same time, hence the ping spike.

I have the basic modem/router combo ATT has provided me with.

So yeah, like I said, low quality/garbage.

You can usually buy your own Modems and Routers, and they're vastly superior (and you don't have to pay the monthly fee anymore).

Ah ok thanks.
I contacted ATT and they said i have to use the router/modem combo they supplied me. As well im paying 7$ a month for their internet product(router/modem) is there a way around using it?

J0E24 :

I assume you also get home phone/landline service from them?
Then sorta kinda yes.
If you aren't getting your landline from them, then you actually do have options.

I also assume you're getting DSL with such a low upload speed. Netgear makes DSL Modems/routers: http://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/dsl-modems-routers/

James Mason :

I don't have a landline, I do have DSL for TV as well though. I was told that I have to use the att modem that was provided. That U-verse only works with the provided modem, which makes it impossible to get out of paying for the $7.

I'm not very good with networking, all the router/modem combo is confusing
