Hello, I am new to OBS and Twitch streaming and have recently been trying to stream some of my game play of different games such as CSGO and Fortnite. The stream starts off fine as I monitor the stream on my phone and everything seems to be running smoothly in the in game lobby. The game starts and the stream has 2 sec freezes every 5 or so seconds. I don't understand what the problem is and I've tried changing the bit rate anywhere from 1500-3000kbps. The lower the bit rate the smoother the stream but it still stutters like crazy when you get into some action like a firefight, or you land anywhere that's populated. My in game FPS doesn't seem to be affected at all with my FPS dropping to a respectable 180fps in Fortnite, I do play on everything low except anti aliasing and view distance however (which are both high).
