Could you please provide a screenshot/description of your QoS configuration? I'm hoping we can make some adjustments to stop the livestream having such an effect on your gameplay.

greengrow Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share Posted May 6, 2021 Whatever "Performance Mode" in streamlabs is seems to help. It disables the video preview of your stream unfortunately tho. noticeably flatter but still some major spikes in there when streamining or the app is open. In the end it could be my old HP envy. I've got a decent CPU, but a horrible GPU right now. Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 6, 2021 Administrators Share Posted May 6, 2021 Well the first thing I've noticed which I think will have a significant impact is your upload Congestion Control percentage, it is far too high for it to efficiently eliminate lag and considering streaming uses upload this should be lower. I'd recommend lowering to 70% to start with and see how you get on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 7, 2021 Administrators Share Posted May 7, 2021 So it is better there, either you've found better percentages or the local test results are not affecting it as much. Do you have armor enabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greengrow Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 Now I'm definitely not positive but I think that what's causing the spikes is either my webcam or the webcam software I use Xsplit Vcam. It removes the background without needing a green screen. They seem like really high CPU/GPU processes. when I use just the webcam without vcam the spikes go away a bit. I'll post some examples shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 8, 2021 Administrators Share Posted May 8, 2021 Interesting, do you have an Nvidia graphics card? If so the Nvidia broadcasting app might be less intensive for you and it can remove the background, some other cool features as well actually https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/broadcasting/broadcast-app/ keep us posted!

greengrow Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share Posted May 19, 2021 I'm really at a loss. Even if I leave everything alone my xbox will stop recognizing my IPv6. Lately it's been saying moderate when the IPv6 stops being recognized. I restarted my xbox and it fixed it but it's still confusing as to why this continually happens. I hate having to restart my router every single day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 On the pingplotter plots, you're pinging your xbox from the home network. There is no way that you should see a latency variation like that on 1Gbit local connections. This should be <1ms unless you have figured out a way to transfer 1Gbit / 120 MB/s through that link to the xbox. Also, since you are plugged into a switch. This traffic should never reach the router so really QoS is not in play here. The ICMP ping arrives at the switch, reads the switch routing table and then goes straight to the xbox. Actually the bad quality stream should not affect gameplay either. If you have issues when pinging your Xbox at 192.168.1.3 it's either on the end of your laptop or at the Xbox. But since you say it's only happening with these streaming programs running you are most likely simply needing a faster computer. File transfers, video encoding streaming etc all take CPU cycles, and I/O tasks and network transfers do so as well. I would suggest starting your streaming app, press ctrl+alt+del, go to your task manager and look at system resources, ie if Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It turns off every time I turn on geo-filter pretty much. Once Geo-filtering is on my xbox no longer says IPv4 & IPv6. I restarted my xbox and it made the IPv6 show back up. BUT this leads to a huge problem. Since I'm using xbox party chat whenever I want to party up with a friend I have to turn off geo-filtering or it won't connect us. Ever. Even if they're allowed. So, restarting wouldn't be such a big deal if I didn't need to also be host and use party chat. I have to host games because my friends net is horrible atm. But that's just in the scenario of me playing with other people. basically if I play with any other person I can't use geo-filtering which makes the feature useless. I've struggled getting it to work right for months now and I think I'm probably just going to get a different router since this one blows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
