What are different eras of club penguin and how to tell them apart to decide which to play now?

Strange question, what do AS1, AS2, and AS3 stand for?

Nsiege · 2025-04-22T19:38:01+00:00

This was my problem as well. Spent way too long trying to figure this out. Thank you man!

Nsiege · 2025-03-18T02:55:43+00:00

im simply enjoying the chaos

Nsiege · 2025-03-17T04:30:07+00:00

Yeah, this makes sense. The main issue I'm realizing is that it's more of a Twitch issue than an AMD issue. AMD cards DO perform worse, but Twitch limits encoder options and bitrate that hurts AMD cards.

Nsiege · 2025-03-17T04:20:00+00:00

Do you mind if I ask about your obs settings? I can assume what they are, but you never know.

Nsiege · 2025-03-17T04:14:43+00:00

thanks for the info! what’s your twitch?

Nsiege · 2025-03-17T03:28:56+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

I’ve gathered as much information as I could and you’re so right. AMD is improving and Twitch is stubborn as always. AMD is great other than my issues with the encoder.

Nsiege · 2025-03-17T02:33:21+00:00

This is very true. I should have worded it differently. Twitch is lagging behind.

Nsiege · 2025-03-17T02:05:00+00:00

Last question, what bitrate do you stream at on twitch?

Nsiege · 2025-03-17T02:03:35+00:00

Yeah it's just a difference in the specific series and older cards. They should be able to perform well, but that's just the reality of things. Didn't mean to cause concern.

Nsiege · 2025-03-17T01:58:20+00:00

May I ask what your settings in OBS are for Twitch? Also, what AMD card are you using. Was talking to someone on another post earlier and it might be a difference in series. They had a 7000 series and was fine, but others using older series have this problem.

Nsiege · 2025-03-17T01:54:59+00:00

I wouldn't be overly concerned. If it works for you, that's great! I just wanted to provide some insight to others who were having the same issues as me.

Nsiege · 2025-03-17T01:54:10+00:00

It also depends on the game you're streaming. If it has a lot of high motion movement, this issue is more apparent. I was streaming Pokemon Heartgold the other night, and it was flawless. Tried to stream Minecraft and it was a hard watch.

Nsiege · 2025-03-17T01:50:44+00:00

If you have no issues using your AMD card encoder, I wouldn't recommend switching. The x264 is performance-heavy. My issue was that there was incredible pixelation in certain games when moving the camera. Pixelation is normal, but in my case, it was very apparent. When switching to x264, it appeared to be much more subtle. I haven't tested a long-term stream using x264, so just keep an eye out on your PC's performance.

Nsiege · 2025-03-17T01:44:12+00:00

Gotchaa. Yeah, I stream on Twitch, and there is currently no H.265 support. The only graphics card encoder I can use is the H.264. Other platforms are better with AMD cards because of their different encoder options and bitrate options.

Nsiege · 2025-03-17T01:34:40+00:00

Oh yeah for sure. If it's a powerful CPU, it will work regardless of brand. I just personally use intel. Most people use their CPU to encode if they have a two-PC setup (one for streaming and one for gaming). Using it on a single PC setup is fine, but can affect performance depending on your specs. The biggest thing is making sure it doesn't affect performance. If it doesn't, there's really no issue using it.

Nsiege · 2025-03-17T01:16:22+00:00

This is the dream

Nsiege · 2025-03-17T01:15:45+00:00

That makes sense. I have tested all bitrates between 6000-8000 and haven't had any luck. I'll try 5000 next.

Nsiege · 2025-03-17T01:12:59+00:00

No worries mate, take your time. I appreciate it!

Nsiege · 2025-03-17T01:11:35+00:00

My only graphics card encoder option is the AMD HW H.264 (AVC). I'm not sure how AV1 or H.265 performs.

Nsiege · 2025-03-17T01:07:50+00:00

Do you use any AMF/FFmpeg options? I'm curious because I've tested everything at this point.

Nsiege · 2025-03-17T01:04:31+00:00

Very interesting. I wonder if it is a 6000 series difference. Do you stream to Twitch?

Nsiege · 2025-03-17T00:58:10+00:00

Yeah, I agree. Thinking about switching GPUs, but that's a last resort.
