I would recommend setting the Elgato EDID to 1080p
3:24 AM
Set the switch EDID to COPY, and set the output on the scaler to 1080P

2160p60 can't be transferred over USB from the Elgato Game Capture HD60 S+. The available USB 3.0 bandwidth doesn't allow for that much data to be transferred at once.

This is a list of supported Passthrough and Capture Resolutions. For each input resolution, the supported capture resolution is shown supported by HD60 X hardware.These resolutions and frame rates ...

question. im streaming destiny 2, my frames i locked 120fps , but when i get into fast moving content slobs drops frames. i then locked my frames to 60fps no dropped frames. is there a way that i can game at higher fps without this occuring. meaning i play in 120fps but the stream still sees 60fps ?

You just need to crop the source. You can do that by holding Alt and dragging an edge.

Is it dropping frames, or is there encoder lag?

@TenderSausage it’s definitely encoder lag. I’m streaming destiny 2 still kinda trouble shooting it.

@Mindchatter I’ll give you a rundown on this later, but the issue is too much motion. You will want to dumb down your stream to something like 720p60 or 1080p30 (edited)

I have output(scaled resolution at 720p 60fps. I found that if i turn down a lot of the settings from very high to medium it helped alot but still a bit jittery. I was hoping to get a buttery smooth looking stream. But im guessing thats what 60fps looks like 🙂

hey can someone take a quick look at this and answer 3 questions I have 1 How do I record the audio without the accidental echo" 2 Do I need to change encoder for my screen clarity 3 Can use a hotkey to cut out the epoc cam when i don't need it? 4 When I use the MacOS screen capture (Beta) it freezes when I switch to parallels. Can that be fixed? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1654075242

Yes. Watching back, it might just be the stream. I think my router isn't keeping up with higher bandwith games. I have also noticed that I have a chat overlay, along with other overlays that aren't working, and idk why. I've tested everything multiple times and I still have problems with getting everything to display properly (example coming after this msg) (edited)

The time stamp is when chat was most active and no overlays were working. I don't understand why

Hope it's the right place to ask - I have a mic and a headset with a mic plugged into my computer and for some reason i cannot make my computer use the headphones for output and the other mic for input separately. It seams it has one microphone option and when the headset is plugged in it treats the headset as the mic and only when its unplugged its sets it to the mic plugged in. Is there any other way around it other than purchasing a headset without a mic? (edited)

Hey Tender, I appreciate you sending me this program! I’m downloading it now and getting things plugged in.

Hey all, can anyone give some advice for me for Rode X XDM vs BEACN Mic? the BEACN is on sale for black friday and it brings the price down to the Rode , and the onboard processing on the BEACN means lower latency to my stream then doing the EQ in Windows, but the Rode software in the future "might" become really good as the lean into streaming. I am going Dynamic USB because I travel and dont always have the travel space to take XLR setups with interfaces etc...

Do that outside of OBS e.g. with Firebot. Setting up a timer that toggles source visibility via OBS Websocket should be the easiest way.

Calling all Tech Savvy n Stream Savvy individuals. I am having dropped frames issues for stream. This all started Wednesday 23rd day before Thanksgiving. My first thought was that maybe there are a lot of people on the internet cuz everyone is in town visiting, but now it still presists since then. Wednesday was so bad I could not stream. Friday I was on a 20min delay from chat/stream. We have run a bunch of tests this weekend to see if we can fix it, we made it better but still having problems. Things we tried. Turned off VPN - significantly fixed connection issues n lag. Tried different Bitrates best one so far is 2000 (which is what I had originally) Changing Stream Encoder - NVENC = GPU - should be better but was giving high delay on stream and buffering /// Using x264 = CPU - It's keeping up with stream more, but still having dropped frames issues. We changed the streaming server connected to a place more local. Restarted the router, turned the computer on and off, updated Drivers, and Unplugged n replugged in ethernet cord. I use streamlabs, our own internet is high quality, with an upload speed of - 8.21 & Download speed of - 944.0 Ive never had issues like this before and im not sure how to fix it. Please any and all recommendations and help are welcomed. DMs welcomed or @~Rainbows plz when responding.

Nice. So it gives several advantages to the stress put on systems. How much GPU, RAM, and PC stress are you saving with dual?
Avatar
TenderSausage 11/28/2022 8:19 PM
Honestly, it's not something I have quantified. I really should create a test or benchmark for that.
8:20 PM
There are more practical advantages to having the stream and game PCs separate.
8:20 PM
For example, I have my stream PC set up so that windows and programs start and set themselves up automatically, so the computer is essentially ready to stream whenever.

Well, it's more my OCD in terms of why I would want to go dual. My ram use gets to 20% and I get annoyed.
8:26 PM
if you are asking me where I fail already, that is because I keep tweaking things. I have tons of audio options in Windows and it likes to switch them - which screws over discord, etc. So, I have to keep enabling and disabling stuff. It's annoying.

TenderSausage 11/28/2022 8:27 PM
Are they all necessary tools, or just options you like to play with? I'm a tinkerer myself, so my stuff is constantly broken. That's why I don't stream.
