Hello

I have a problem with my stream. By now I tried different settings but I cant get to loose some freeze spike I have in my stream from time to time. Would appreciate any help on finding what the problem is with this spikes, also any tips on improving the quality of the stream.

This is the result from speedtest:

Here is a sample form my stream:
http://www.twitch.tv/mrawes0me/b/373843913

Spikes are at 2:24, 4:55, 6:35 and maybe others also. Here is the log form that session:

you're lagging quite a bit of frames because of your gpu. lower the game graphics

you're also dropping frames because of the connection. try 2464/2464 on the uk server and leave the quality at 8.

Thanks for the reply. This settings improved the performance of the stream, but still there are some freezes from time to time, but a lot fewer and shorter. I think is acceptable.... -ish. My internet connection is the main problem why I cant stream at higher quality?

says you're using both monitor capture and game capture.. you typically want to avoid using monitor capture if at all possible, especially if you're already using game capture. use window capture if you need to capture some window, but not monitor capture if possible
