Both Discord and OBS have issues capturing the game smoothly and im not sure why. my game is running at my capped 180fps yet every stream is laggy and choppy, any reason why?

Thanks for posting in the support forums, terrifyingcalifornia!

Guidelines and First Steps:

  1. Please include your se.log file located at <Steamapps>/common/SpaceEngine/system/se.log.
    -# ^ This step is not optional for 95% percent of issues. If you need to know how put "!p log" into the chat below and i will give you a step-by-step
  2. Is your installation modded? Not all mod authors keep up with updates, and old or buggy mods can cause many issues, even those that may not seem related.
  3. Are you on the latest version? Older versions of SpaceEngine are not supported. Check your Betas tab in Steam to make sure you are on the current version.
  4. Have you updated your graphics drivers recently? We only test against up-to-date drivers. Old drivers can cause a plethora of issues.
  5. Does your PC meet the system requirements? (Windows 10, Dual core Intel i3 3rd gen / AMD FX or better, 6 GB RAM, GeForce 1050 Ti or Radeon RX 460 (4 GB)).

For Discord it uses your cpu as an encoder, for OBS what settings do you use?

I will check my OBS settings, i dont use obs much at all so give me some time to get those details

#

When i say "better streaming" its still choppy (stutters consistently)

#

What settings am I looking for?

I personally have a much slower pc and it doesn't stutter at all with OBS. The issue might be bad settings.

SE is known to have issues with OBS. i recommend using the inbuilt capture via F9 in game.

#

SE's built in capture tool is also designed to capture perfect video even if the app stutters or has a slow down(IE very complex scenes like black holes/nebulae/neutron stars) by adjusting the sim speed/recording speed to ensure a solid 60fps(or your specified framerate) recording.

OBS is known to have issues with OpenGL apps this is not a SE specific issue with OBS.

#

And for the discord stream issue? I assume its the same reason?

#

My understanding it its a capture issue on windows with OpenGL. OBS is usually the app most people notice it with or report on it about.

#

I see some people have had success changing Vulkan/OpenGL present mode to DXGI Swapchain on Nvidia cards.

#

this would be under Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings

I'm not sure of all settings, the ones I know about are that I'm using the NVENC encoder, my bitrate is at 6000 & 160 kbps, and I record by choosing a window manually (not the automatic one).
