So this is the situation:
I can play properly without lag. We also have good internet (296/86 mbps download speed || 346.27 mpbs upload speed). My pc says the stream is online. Everything is ok, BUT when i watch the twitch stream on my second monitor it says the stream is offline.

Anyone else has this problem?
Anyone knows a solution?
Its really really irritating

Change servers, twitch had an issue. I had to change servers before going live, due to the same thing.

I found that twitch would often say you're still "offline" and not show you your viewer count for a very long time, even tho the stream was working. Is this all that is happening? Do you still get the audio/video of your stream, even tho it says "offline" in the dashboard?

This little bug annoyed me but it was easy enough to ignore.

Nope :/

coh2.org not finding you for a few minutes is normal tho, as we only sniff the twitch API every so often.

Seems like my pc cant handle the encoding. While getting in much micro asking battles with fire etc it seems that obs says "cant handle encoding pls put it down". Gonna try that now, only problem: i dont know how? ^^
Cab somebody explain how to lower it?

If your GPU or CPU can't handle the encoding, you need to lower the resolution, so you're not sending so much info. For example, if you're trying to stream at 1080p, try instead 720p. You could also lower the stream framerate.

What are your GPU and CPU specs?

What's your current framerate in OBS?

Have you try to use in OBS Studio AMD VCE (Video Coding Engine) in place of x264 ? It use less resource than x264 because it use your graphic card VCE in place of your CPU to encode.

I'd try lowering the framerate to 15. I know 15 is crap, but you have to keep trying things and lowering things until you find a stable solution. Then you can start bumping things up again.

Also, which version of OBS are you using? The old standard version, or the "Studio" thing with the GUI interface (which I find to be total crap, by the way). Maybe try the other version.
