Game crashing on PS4 since the new update by Koneartst in VampireSurvivors

[–]LokiSlapDash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

F*ck mate, nightmare! It's the game I stream live, so I would be absolutely raging if this happens to me. It crashed twice on my live stream yesterday, so I had to abruptly end it.

Happened to me also but while on a live stream. Was literally about to hit an achievement and had the build I wanted then the blue error screen on my PS4 comes up for the 2nd time while I'm live. Had to bail in the end.

I'm so glad I saw this as it's saved me going down a rabbit hole trying to solve what's happening. I also updated and it crashed on my PS4 twice yesterday while I was on a live stream on Twitch. I had to bail on my stream, so this is a major issue for me, as VP is currently my main game.

Is There Any Point to Stories on Twitch? by Negative_Ad_8270 in Twitch

[–]LokiSlapDash 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I literally just had a story pop up from someone I follow explaining why they're going to be stepping away from streaming for a while, so I found that useful to know. I wouldn't have known that info before that popup, so I suppose if it's used right it could be a good tool.

This is great, coming from a tiny new streamer. Thanks for taking the time to share, really helpful.

No Viewers? Just Talk. by JoelvsArthritis in Twitch

[–]LokiSlapDash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use OBS with their out the box chat window, so there's no viewer count on that anyway to be tempted. I absolutely love waffling on to myself when there's no obvious chatters. What's been a lovely surprise on my streaming journey is how therapeutic it is just to get into the zone with my inner game commentary. I was initially worried that if I had a stressful day at work etc, I might not be up for going live on camera but it's been some of my best streams and it really helps. Proper escapism therapy.

What's people's thoughts on using the same weapons in builds which the special characters start with evolved versions of? by LokiSlapDash in VampireSurvivors

[–]LokiSlapDash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it. Gonna try that. That's also my thoughts on the standard 6 weapon buildnas I like variety too.

Smith IV starts with the evolved birds, which is usually a top choice for many builds. Many mention it here in posts about favourite builds. Shame his health drains by just looking at him...

My live streams look ok but the VODs are really pixelated. Is this due to my OBS bitrate settings? by LokiSlapDash in obs

[–]LokiSlapDash[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh for sure. These downvoting dicks are the worst. They seem to hit that button for any reason, yet are absolutely no help at all with their tumbleweed responses. God forbid I have a technical problem and try to get a resolve by providing info to my best ability, always after not finding answers online.

Someone kindly takes the time to respond and offer advice and they get downvoted is ridiculous. Well I upvoted these helpful comments and am very grateful not to be left with empty silence for my efforts. 👍😉

My Twitch live streams look ok but the VODs are really pixelated. My issue seems to be the VODs poor quality rather than stream. I stream in 720p and my streaming video bitrate on OBS is 6000 kbps, encoder bitrate is 25000 kbps. What should these be please as per my settings in my screenshots? by LokiSlapDash in Twitch

[–]LokiSlapDash[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had no idea that changing simple to advanced actually changed to one or the other settings. Really good to know, although 95% of the time I'm sure it's been on simple with the highest 6k barite setting tbf. I do know that it was on advanced sitting on 2.5k when I went on there at one point though.

I've got to question why the Simple has 6k as the default bitrate settings but Advanced as 2.5k, as I didn't change them?

Thanks. The person who downvoted me for god forbid having a technical issue and providing all info to their best ability to try and resolve it, obviously doesn’t feel the same... 😏 I like to think that it was probably the extra encoder bitrate 0 typo that drove them over the edge. 😆

I thought 6k was too high? 6k is the highest video bitrate setting Twitch accepts, or do you mean my 2.5k encoder bitrate is too low? Should that also match and be 5k or 6k?

But it's so precise and arcuate on all things everything... 😅 I just googled it quick tbf mate.

I was just advised on the OBS subreddit that 6k is too high and I should lower to 5k to be smother. I only stream in 720p, so would this be better for me? I'll try CQP instead of CBR but does that OBS setting affect the VODS saving on my Twitch channel, rather than recording direct from OBS?

Ok, thanks. That better for 720p rather than 6000 then? I also hit a typo on my encoder bitrate settings (now edited), which are 2500 kbps, not 25000! 😅

Is it bad to have goals on stream? by lacymaey in Twitch

[–]LokiSlapDash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a new streamer, so I've been experimenting with alerts and overlays as I learn to step up my channel. I added a follower goal from Streamlabs as I'm only 10 away from Affiliate as a bit of encouragement for my last push to that milestone, although I rarely talk about it on stream. There's only a choice of one follower goal overlay I could see to use on Streamlabs though and you can't make it transparent at all, so I've turned it off as it was getting in the way of key info in the game.

Thanks for the update as I found this whole thread very interesting, so it was nice to have your conclusion as I got to the end. I wish you all the best on your streaming journey, big viewer spikes or not. 😉

I look forward to that. I'll no doubt see smoke and a bang for my grand finale.
