When I revert to version 18.0.1 FTL everything works fine.
I can second this issue.
For me, I can load the alpha build up, it works fine on the first scene or for the first few minutes but the second I either switch scenes or a movement happens on the beginning scene I start dropping frames.
What I have done for troubleshooting:
Duplicated issue on both wired and wireless.
Restarted modem/router
Called ISP and I have been told I am green across the board.
I have changed bitrates around between 1800 - 3500 for 720p 60fps and 720p 30fps.
Have tried on both CPU x264 and NVENC.
When I revert to the previous version 18.0.1 with FTL, I am not seeing these issues.
I have attached the latest log for the alpha build.

I have seen this issue and the high CPU issues before. Long before Alpha OBS-Studio. I believe the problem is OBS-Studio and OBS-FTL share the same settings / profile / scenes file locations. But not necessarily are they compatible with both programs / versions. Switching back and forth between OBS-FTL and OBS-Studio can overwrite the settings files and may be causing corruption.
Try this to test this theory.
- Make a backup of %appdata%\obs-studio folder including all sub folders (this is your current scenes and settings)
- Delete the %appdata%\obs-studio folder
- Run OBS-Studio (Alpha version) and set up all your settings from scratch.
- Create a scene so you can test and see if you still have the same issues.
Be sure that at no time while your testing you run OBS-FTL. If the drop frames stop then you will know how to fix it. Just setup everything from scratch and never run OBS-FTL again.
Yes, I thought it might have been the same issue as you described but when I did my testing I always uninstall older OBS versions just to be on the safe side.
So just to be on the safe side I went step by step through what you said.
Uninstalled and removed the %appdata%\obs-folder just in case this time still having the same issues.
I also search through just to be sure no remains of previous builds were around.
Installed only the OBS-Studio (Alpha Build) and completely re-setup all setting by scratch.
Still causing the same results I started with a static scene of an image and then moved to a game scene and immediately moving to the game scene I would drop frames.
I did a complete uninstall of OBS Alpha build, manually removed the %appdata%\obs-studio folder and installed the previous OBS-FTL version 18 and it works 100%.
Are you still seeing this with the latest release version of OBS?
Just saw this, I have this issue and I drop >100% of the frames
I'm suddenly getting this exact same issue. Latest build of OBS Studio for Windows, as of DEC-22-2017.
If I remember correctly there was a change, that included lost packets in the dropped frame statistic
Should probably report it to the OBS devs, then, and not here.
well thing is it kinda happened here
so...Yup. We implemented the API wrong and increment the dropped frame count when we lose a single packet. Since frames typically get broken into 6-8 packets, you can get in the hundreds. Also, lost packets aren't the end of the world - we can recover some of them. We will fix this soon. :)
