Hey guys, does anyone have this problem? It's kind of a little thing but it's been getting on my nerves more and more. Sometimes I can't control the menus in Rocket League with my controller temporarily. I have to use the mouse because the controller won't respond. If I hover the mouse over the selections, for example in the main menu, sometimes I can get control to the controller again. In the options menu, I can navigate around with the controller, but if I change a setting then I have to use the mouse/keyboard to control until I get out of options, then I can use the controller again.

I use a standard xbox one PC controller and a logitech generic laptop mouse. I play lots of games

Hey guys, I ran into a bug with the cannon minigame where I got almost to the door at the end but died, but then a cutscene saying that I won played off camera while I looked at poor owlboy's crumpled body. After the cutscene ended, I got spit into an area my save lists as the "Temple Observatory", however it's just empty space in every direction. Skybox in the background, but nothing else. Reloading the game doesn't make a difference. Can't find anything suggesting anyone else has run into this, so I hope I can figure out how to fix it so I don't have to refund the game.

Hey guys, I have a problem where my on occasion, for a few minutes, my bitrate, which I have at 1500kb, will suddenly start jumping between 1500kb and 2100kb. This doesn't seem to have anything to do with what's happening on screen or with what game I'm playing. When this happens my little bitrate square in OBS goes red and my viewers buffer. Could this be an internet problem? Why would the bitrate go up unless it's trying to 'send' something larger than normal? I can post a log and TwitchTest results if needed. Thanks

Hey guys, having a problem where occasionally my bitrate as shown in OBS plummets over a couple seconds, before disconnecting from Twitch. It attempts to reconnect and works immediately afterwords. This happened multiple times on wednesday, then none on thursday or friday, and now some today. When this happens, my internet doesn't go down, nor do I get disconnected or experience any lag if I'm playing a multiplayer game.

So, main question is, is there still a possibility this is something on my end and not Twitch's? No apparent issue on my side, but just not sure if it could something like a 'gap' in upload bandwidth that somehow doesn't cause a problem in online games.

Hi guys, I have a problem with my Elgato HD60, thought I would check and see if anyone has ever seen it. When I start OBS and go to my scene that includes my Elgato capture, OBS and my webcam lockup. Additionally, I cannot kill the application or process from task manager, or even by using a taskkill command in a DOS box with admin rights. I have to hard boot my computer and try again. Most frustratingly, this happens at seemingly random times. I can't find any pattern yet. Today, it was actually working for me earlier, and then when I restarted OBS and launched it again, it crashed in this way and I had to hard boot. I would approximate it happens about 1 in ten times I go to my capt

Hey guys, I'm asking about the effect you see on some streams where a simple animation will pop up periodically on the stream - say, every 15 minutes or so - then disappear in a few seconds. Usually contains social media links. Twitter, Steam group, whatever. How do people do this effect? Is it just an animated gif with mostly blank space, or is there some tool in OBS I'm missing to make sources appear periodically?

So there's this act, either a band or a person, maybe a duo, that makes a variety of songs that usually have some combination of noise, feedback or shoegaze elements combined with melodies or hooks that kind of evoke old pop songs of the 60s or 70s. I know that potentially describes a lot of outfits, but these guys are lead by a woman that I recall having kind of platinum-hair on the cover, and the name of the act might refer to her, or the band, not sure. And part of me thinks it's just her and one other dude, but also don't quote me on that. I always want to say it's 'Ronettes' or 'Ronette' or 'Roxettes' or 'Roxanne' or something like that but it never helps me find it. In particular

Hi guys, I have an issue where my stream will sometimes run at a delay of 10+ minutes. i.e. the stuff that's currently showing on the stream is things I did 10 minutes ago. It seems like this might be worse when bitrate is higher, but it's not like I use an extreme bitrate. I've been streaming at 30fps x 720p and 1800 bitrate by default just because if I set the bitrate any higher I seem to run into more shit like this.

Most strangely, I can view my own stream and see that it's buffering and heavily delayed, but then I go to another random stream, playing at a seemingly higher quality, and not have any buffering issues. How is that possible? It's definitely an actual buffer(I get the c

Hey guys, just got some foster kittens today. They are adorable! However, after having them home a few hours, I can't find them. I haven't opened to doors since they came in, so I don't think they can be outside. I was keeping inside the laundry room so they could get used to a small space and have their litter and food nearby. Currently have no washer/dryer so it's just the cat stuff, and old chair, and...that's about it. There are cabinets up high but they're closed and way too high for them to reach I think. They're not under the chair or anything like that. I tried removing the cushions from the chair but no luck there, can't see or hear them anywhere. The laundry room is just a

Hey guys, right now I just have a single monitor but I really want to get a second one. I think I'd like to set one up in portrait mode for chat and stuff. I looked around for this online but it seems like a lot of monitors aren't really clear if they have pivoting stands, or if I just get a monitor I can detach from the stand and buy a separate stand that pivots, or some other solution. For you guys that have done this, do you have any recommendations?

Hey guys, I'm in a place where I've been considering this option and haven't found much to read about it on the internet.

Basically, I'm pretty decent with money and save a lot. I don't need much, I'm a bachelor and I live by myself, I'm not a big spender on much of anything and my job pays decently so I've bee taking home some 15k or so on a yearly basis that I save. Now in previous years I've invested that, I've bought a car with it(2013 Hyundai Elantra, fully paid off), I've bought a home and then refinanced on that home putting more down on it(I have about 30% equity now). Don't have any debt except for my mortgage.

All that said, I've thinking more and more about basically...taking
