Hello and thank you in advance for your help.

My issue is specifically when playing/streaming only the game, "War Thunder" the stream will be perfect without issue. Within 2-9 minutes, strange frame drops, lag and the game being completely unplayable all occur. My stream text/alerts music all work perfectly - only the game goes haywire.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game.

I always start OBS as administrator

I actually bought some software to optimize CPU Affinity. This helped, but was really unnecessary. I have a 6950X CPU

I had my ISP come out and actually witness the stream in real-time and three times in a row, the persistent problem predictably occurred each time. They had no idea how to troubleshoot this issue- my connection is Gigiabit and functioning correctly. My internet speeds are constant and more than adequate.

I have posted other log files tracking down issues like disabling SLI. Done.

I also uninstalled my Personify Chroma app for my Webcam.

I have tweaked and reset my settings all over the place adjusting bandwidth, encoding presets, you name it. Problem persists.

I have played streams for several hours with other graphics intensive games like PlayerUnknown Battlegrounds, Witcher 3, Battlefield 1 and countless others without issue. What is the deal with War Thunder specifically?

This problem occurs only with War Thunder. I contacted War Thunder developer, "Gaijin" and was offered a few suggestions. One was "In order to allow other software to operate normally, hooks:b=yes must be added to the start of the config.blk"

I added this line into the config file. The issue still persists.

I disable my Avast Premium Antivirus software during gaming sessions. no fix.

I removed som IOBit System Care software. That's not it either.

I think a dual PC streaming solution is the only way to go - but this CPU should handle this game!

I have no earthly idea what this issue is. Can someone please provide some input?

Many thanks again.

Here is the most recent log file:

I thought enabling vsynch might help- it did not . log file below.

I made yet another set of tweaks to OBS settings in another vain attempt to correct this problem. The problem persists.

War Thunder has apparently had this issue for some time now. There was a user on their forums who suggest this fix:

  • Close War Thunder
    Windows + R -> type CMD
    Enter bcdedit /deletevalue useplatformclock
    Confirm with enter and a message should appear with a confirmation
    Restart computer and try again
Not sure how viable it is considering I don't play War Thunder, but that came up as the first google result.
 


This is what resulted:

"C:\Users\The Com>bcdedit /deletevalue useplatformclock
The boot configuration data store could not be opened.
Access is denied."
 

Make sure it's run in administrator. That should go through once you're able to run cmd as administrator.l
 


After troubleshooting so many possibilities, this was one of the first things I did; running as administrator. Unfortunately, this problem has existed despite that.
 

Talking about cmd prompt. It denied your access because it wasn't run as administrator.

If that doesn't work I guess I don't know what else to do - if it's just one game there's only so many possibilities that can exist, and sometimes things just don't work together.
