Hello TL, I have been trying to stream again and have been dropping frames in obs constantly, I was have been streaming fine though up till recently, here are my specs...
In OBS : Server ( Auto / have tried all other servers near me as well, all yield the same result) Encoder : x264 Software / (Have also tried NVENC Hardware or w/e) Encoder preset : very fast video : base ; 1280x720 output (scaled) resolution ; 1280x720 bitrate (tried 2k / 2.5k / 3k) audio bitrate ; 160 enable advanced encoder settings : I've tried both on / off with Fast / very fast settings advanced : process priority : above normal
My internet speeds are Comcast Blast Xfinity 80-100 Mbps Download / 3-5 Upload (My upload is fluctuating it is supposed to be at 10 provisioned speeds but getting more like 3-7)
System specs : Win10 Intel Core i5 CPU 650 @ 3.20 GHz / 3.33 GHz RAM : 8.00 GB (7.87 GB usable) 64 Bit
GPU : Nvidia Geforce 730 Zotac
Please help! Would love to stream some SC2 / BW again!

EDIT : I am not dropping any packets when doing ping tests to google / google's IP address... Please help !

EDIT 2 : Ummm so wtf, Blizzard Streaming was turned on by default this entire time lol, I am going to check and see if this resolved this issue... it was apparently streaming at 720p, but to where? I forgot about the blizzard streaming service being announced, this was while I was taking a break, I feel dumb. =P
EDIT 3 : DIDN'T WORK, SHIT.

Were you able to stream SC2 before, or were you streaming only BW?
Your processor is less than 20% performance of the current generation i7's ($350~). Even though it's "only" 720p30fps (so streaming 1080p60fps is 4.5x more intensive), it's still quite a lot for that cpu.
If I reference it to the 7700k which is exactly~ 4x more powerful for encoding, that can barely handle 1080p60fps, and once you play any slightly intensive game, you'll start losing frames. So from my basic fermi estimate your CPU is the bottleneck.
Check your CPU usage in task manager. With BW remastered the CPU usage demands increased a bit, and it might have been able to push you over the edge? How many frames are you dropping? (I know you as a BW player). If you have a 1080p monitor, streaming at 540p isn't a bad idea if it indeed is your CPU bottle-necking you.
+ Show Spoiler +Though as an aside, I think upgrading would be a good idea. A GTX1060 ($250 graphics card) would net you around a 10x improvement, an i5 8400 ($190) would net you a 3.5-4x CPU boost, Z370 board ($120, would recommend cheaper, but still new, and they didn't release the lower end yet), and 8GB of DDR4 RAM ($80), and the upgrade bigger than all of them combined is getting yourself an SSD, 240GB 850 evo ($90). Keep your case, power supply (if it's 350W+), your HDD as a secondary. $730 in total.
You'll only be struggling to meet your day to day needs with each passing day. In the current market, I think for a heavy internet user, but moderate gamer, a 5-6 year upgrade cycle on everything except the GPU (3 year cycle) is optimal.
