You can switch to FMLE... Or you can play in windowed, other than that, no.

Im using FMLE already, but I still had to use windowed mode which gives me worse performance. When I tried fullscreen it was just black, could only see the SC2 cursor.

Well speedtest says that my upload is ~0.75mbits, when I log onto my router it says ~0.8 -0.9. I stream using 8 quality, 500kbps Bitrate video, and 44.100 KHz 16 bit stereo 64000 bitrate audio.

This is the kind of quality I get http://www.twitch.tv/taydot/b/308822130.

What resolution do you stream at? 720?

sc2 actually takes extremely little bandwith. It's the ping that actually matters.

Well, thats about as good as you can probably get, try setting the buffer to about 600.. That should lower down some of the pixelation...

Your CPU isn't able of streaming in 720p quality @2.66ghz.

Either buying a new cpu, or going down in resolution.

Able to stream and play at the highest possible quality but anything over 400k and I start to get extreme lag, with this low of bandwidth however the screen is just choppy.

I am in central canada, any suggestions?

*edit* Upon further inspection my provider only allows 512k upload, would switching to another plan with 2.5mb upload make a significant difference?

Hello,

First, here are my specs:

i5-2500k OC'd @ 4.6 GhZ
GTX 580 SLI
Mushkin Blackline 8GB RAM

Now, I want to be able to stream while maintaining a high FPS at ultra quality. I take it that I'm going to need a capture card to do this? If so, which one should I get? I see that there are a lot of choices, but I have no clue how to go about installing it (cables I need etc.).

Thanks.

No capture card needed, you can stream 1080p with that setup.

I was messing around with streaming for the first time yesterday for fun. Was streaming mass effect 3 for a friend, but ran into a sound problem. Gunshots and sound effects sound absolutely fine. However, when it comes to voices, during the dialogue scenes, it would be really low and my friend could barely hear even if he maxed the volume on his speakers. Sound is fine for me throughout the game though.

Anyone know what could be causing voices to be broadcasting low, when the gun sound effects etc are absolutely fine? Also to note, voices during fighting like when the bad guys scream at you sound fine too. The low voice problem only occurs when it goes to cutscene mode for dialogue scenes.

I've tried a local recording as well and same low voices problem occurs there as well.

I'm having problems with my frames per second, when I'm not running xsplit I'm always at a around 250 FPS at 1680x1050 on low texture and graphics settings. But as soon as I open xsplit and try to start broadcasting and even when xsplit is idling and doing nothing I always drop to less than 30 FPS.

Can anybody help me with a possible fix or what might be causing my fps to drop so drastically?

My computer specifications are:

CPU AMD Phenom II x4 995 3.2 GHz
4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory
AMD HD 6870 1GB GDDR5 with Engine Clock - 900MHz and Memory Clock - 1050MHz (4.2Gbps)

Cheers.

Been trying to stream dota2 and league of legend with this setup and league streams fine, but dota 2 has issue with constant jittering.

Setup
i7-970 @ 4.2
6GB of Gskill Pi
470 GTX

internet setting
[image loading]

My current stream setting are
Resolution:1920x1200
Quality:10
Audio Bitrate: 128kbps
FPS:25
Buffer/VBV: 3500/7000
I'm thinking i might need to change to 1280x800 or something for resolution? i can't do 1280x720 i get green bars since i run on 16:10 instead of 16
