Are there issues currently with QoS on the latest firmware?

Frame Drops when uploading to twitch and rubber banding when playing call of duty at the same time. All this seems to happen only when QoS is enabled.

  • I reckon you need to prioritize the Call Of Duty traffic specifically. This will involve disabling DumaOS Classified games under Traffic Prio, adding your device manually and choosing the Call Of Duty profile.

     

    Also, if the streaming and gameplay are coming from the same device, anti-bufferbloat won't help much, so probably turn it off for now (select Never)

     

    Basically you want to give the stream enough bandwidth to breathe, but still make sure that Call Of Duty is prioritized. It might be good, depending on your connection speed, to set the quality of the stream manually. For example, if your connection could only occasionally handle 1080p, it would be better to set it to 720p.

      its fine when QoS is disabled. I can stream at 6000 bitrate at 1080p60. I also don't lag when playing any online game. However, when QoS is enabled there are so many problems even when I don't have traffic prioritization. I also never use anti-bufferbloat, so it has to be something with QoS.

        When QoS is on, go to System Information and look at the CPU graph, is it at 100%? This would explain the weird behaviour.
