Are you using Streammate from the lovense site? Studio OBS is the open source program without the lovense extension etc.I don't even know the difference
i assume you are using software encoding then? did you try switching to hardware encoding?
Edit: in obs Settings > Output
That's quite high. What encoder settings are you using in OBS?
If you're not already, try NVENC encoder as that's the hardware optimised encoder that uses the nVidia video card in your system (can't show where that is right now as I don't have OBS on this machine).
EDIT: it was answered already, but I was on a different page... NVENC = hardware encoder here.

Don't worry about it for now, just let your ISP know what's up to rule that out. If everything is okay on their end then you don't really have to do most of that, like using the PingPlotter program. I'd also ask them if there's a way to create a cable connection, they may be able to connect the wiring in the wall to a modem which you could plug an ethernet cable directly into. This would likely help a lot, I tried streaming over wi-fi a few times and it would lag if I so much as breathed too hard, lol.that's sound so complicated... I m not a technical person at all
I m really sorry but don't know what NVENC it or how it works but I know my settings on OBS are the ones recomandated by Ctb.. I used same settings for more than 1 years but I didn't had any problems until this month without makeing any changes
I will try to move laptop choser by router to see if that helps but unfortunatelly I can't ask for create a cable connection because I stay in rend and that's not my own apartment..

I doubt its your internet, and your laptop shouldnt have issues with it's spec. 80% is a lot of usage but it's not enough to cause an issue IMO.
When you get a lot of 1 token tips where is the lag happening, can you see the lag in your obs preview or is it on the site?
Some other things you could try, if you have tip animations from lovense on, try turning them off and see if that makes any difference, again I dont think it will since they shouldnt cause enough of an impact to raise the usage very much, but it's something thats worth trying.
yes I see on obs preview and after that the "green" things on ctb that shows everything is okay eventually go orange or red.
I don't use any animations, only simple tip menu

I would try maybe switching from the lovense version of obs to normal obs.I also got this today when I streamed so I had to go offline..I don't know if this have something to do with above problem but seems like obs page just crashed out...
The error that you got is normally to do with virtual memory, you can try increasing it:
Redirecting
answers.microsoft.com
Has the obs you are using updated recently (like just before the problems started?)
I would take a guess that the problems are related.
Some other things that can cause issues would be heat, if you have your laptop on a pillow or on a bed it can stop it pulling in fresh air, things get hot and then it starts slowing down to try and lower the temps.

My guess without seeing it is you have left the "virtual camera" on in the OBS so you are running 2 cameras and overloading the memory. Turning off the "virtual camera" will dramatically reduce the memory use.I also got this today when I streamed so I had to go offline..

There has been a time when I cammed on MFC, and that OBS box (that’s usually green) was going crazy with the orange/red/green. But when I said something about it aloud in the chat, the members didn’t know what I was talking about because they said they could see and hear me fine on their end. I’d even been recording the stream, and then played it back…and everything looked and sounded fine in the video too. So then I was like wow, okay…that’s good. But why the hell is the OBS indicator going crazy like that?
When it happened to me, it was because my ISP was throttling the hell out of my upload speed. I called them, they came out, fiddled with some wires near my house and all ran smoothly after that, however it was my last straw with them and I upgraded to fiber as soon as it was available. Haven't had a single problem since.
I also got this today when I streamed so I had to go offline..
Is your lovense extension up to date? did you try opening task manager, going to details, then sorting by memory to see if one of your applications is eating up a lot of memory?
I think I updated obs with about 1 week before problems started so should have nothing to do with.
I have my laptop on the bed but I use a table cooler for laptop, that's must be fine?
I specificly closed 'virtual camera' before go online and I almost didn't had any problems with small tips slowing my chat until I got this "error" or whatever it was and stream went offline.
unfortunatelly my mods confirmed that my stream is lag, and also I can feel tips very early, after 1 sec I hear it and after another second see the tips in chat, this is not really normal..
OK .. you need to open the "task manager" and see what is using up the memory. You have 16GB of memory so for it to shut down because it is out of memory means there is something using a whole lot and should be very obvious in task manager
Yeah, as long as the base of the laptop is not sitting on the bedding and there's air circulation.
I checked task meneger and nothing else beside OBS doens't consume more than 3-5%, but obs use about 75-80%
I suppose I have to do that while I m streaming because when I m offline all results are very low, even obs
I would suggest removing OBS(un-installing it) , restarting your computer, then download a new OBS install and see if it fixes the issue.
Why are you giving it to us in percentages? tell us the exact number its showing for memory usage.
DId you ever confirm that you do infact have 16GB of ram? What does it say when you hold down the windows key on your keyboard and tap pause/break? A window should come up giving you information about the computer.
In your OBS Output Settings tab, see the Encoder setting below. Make sure NVENC is available as an option in the list and if so, set it to NVENC.
Thanks for the screenshot. I would like to have supplied that before, but I have a Mac and OBS is a bit different.
What both of them say about NVENC being set. if it is setup to be software then I would expect that laptop to use 80%+ and have difficulty streaming 1080. If nvenc is set with that Nvidia video card then I would expect the cpu to be much lower and the laptop should have no problem at all. I have used a older Nvidia card with a slower cpu and it could stream 1080 when using nvenc but had difficulty doing 720 without nvidia being set.
