I don't even know what's up with that background, someone made it for me.

ANYWAY. http://www.twitch.tv/mrsbadexample

I stream a ton of crap, and alternate between things because I have some serious gaming ADD. Generally stream on the weekend evenings when my manthing is at work. Right now I have Dishonoured, Chivalry, Amnesia, Bioshock and a few other things to play. (And JSR, thanks!)

Also, if anyone has any advice on upping FPS quality, please let me know. I use xsplit currently and I noticed extreme choppy funtimes when streaming Dishonoured. Last time I tweaked the settings I blew everything up so I just restored it to default.

Already following and planning a raid on your stream when you're live.

Dat, Kev, Panda... many here can help you with settings. Some will probably even coerce you into using Open broadcaster. Seems it handles frames better than Xsplit in some games.

Hi Mrs. BadE!! Wub wub!

I bailed on using Xsplit for a couple reasons:

1) Open Broadcaster is FREE! I don't need to pay anything to have high quality audio

2) OB is less system intensive, and in my opinion handles streaming easier. I believe this is because it's optimized for multi-core processors and even has an option to enable that boost somewhere in the config.

Bad thing about OB? There is about a 8 second delay between what I am seeing and saying versus what the viewers are seeing/hearing.

Anyways, I'd love to help. First thing though is I'd like to know what your download/upload speeds are. Mind heading over to Speedtest.net and checking it out for me?

Thanks for the help Panda!

Speedtest results are as such: Ping: 15ms / DL: 29.04 Mbps / UL: 1.96 Mbps

A delay in the stream wouldn't be too horrible if it means better quality streaming, but I do know the frustrations especially if you interact with your viewers - which I do. 8 seconds isn't killer though.

8 seconds is totally doable.

K. Less than 2MB upload (which your speed pretty much mirrors mine with the 30 down and 2 up). here is what I have for settings for Open Broadcaster (again, FREE SOFTWAAARRREEE!! wooooo!)

Settings --> Settings

Encoding: Quality Balance 10, Max Bitrate 1500, Buffer 1500, Codec AAC, Bitrate 128

Broadcast Settings: Your twitch stream key goes in here

Video: I stream at 1600x900 (but then again I run everything windowed mode so I can still see twitch chat, play with pandora, etc while still playing the game). Resolution Downscale - 1.50 FPS: 30 Diasble Aero at Startup: Yes

Audio: Ummm, this is pretty easy, just wing it and experiment

Advanced: Use Multithreaded Optimizations= YES Process Priority= High, Also check off the Use higher Quality Audio Resampling

That should be it!

You are the wind beneath my wings. I'll give this a shot tomorrow (hopefully I'm over this death sickness) and see how it streams. I'll download it tonight though and mess with the settings in the meantime. Thanks so much!

And I play in windowed mode too because of chat, so pfft. Thumbs up.

I'll have to check it out some time. I'm the same way about games, I'm really add about games. I try my hardest to complete them but can't seem to do it.

I have not yet beaten any of the Assassin's Creeds but the first one because of my ADD. I collect everything, then get distracted with a new shiny.

First assassins creed. Fuck. That. Game. I have to disable my internet just for it to start. Followed by the absolute shittiest missions. I DO NOT WANT TO DO THE SAME THING 700 TIMES STOP MAKING ME DO THESE MISSIONS.

Back on topic, I followed you. I will hit you up the next time I see you live.

Hot damn, ran a test - runs MUCH better. The quality is night and day. Only downside is OB can't detect my webcam for whatever reason, but no one needs to see my ugly mug right now.

So that was it. Got two emails saying you were online. Clicked both times and nothing. I was beginning to think I smelled or something.

Sorry mate, just wanted to test to see how it fared when I was online as well. I'm just busy coughing up a lung anyway right now, I'm hoping I can get some of that under control before tonight or everyone's eardrums'll be shot.

Hi Mrs.Bad!

I can totally most likely help you with your webcam issues also, however I'm VERY glad to hear that you got the quality issues sorted out! Works great doesn't it?

Like a flipping charm. I need to give Dishonoured a shot, because that's been the most taxing game on the system so far surprisingly, but Chivalry itself saw such a smooth increase I'm impressed - and probably won't be going back to xsplit if this is the standard for OB.

And I almost bought a membership to xsplit!

You're welcome!

Oh fuck me, THANK YOU.

Followed. Let us know if you need help with anything else.
