FPS drops when "requesting twitch.tv streams update"
My FPS is usually 100-120
Consistently when it says "Requesting twitch.tv streams update..." in the console, my FPS drops to 10-15 for around 10 seconds.
I can't find any setting or command to disable it, and can't find anyone else having (had) the issue.
Why is this and how do I fix it?
Best Answer
Find the file mainmenuoverride.res and delete WatchStreamButton and StreamListPanel. This should disable the streams and the requests.

Does Twitch streaming drop fps?
Adjusting your bitrate will often be the quickest fix to dropping frames on Twitch. Bitrate stands for the amount of data you send to Twitch while streaming. If you set your bitrate too high with slow internet, you'll start dropping frames, meaning you may need to lower it.What bitrate should I stream at for 1080p 60fps?
For 1080p video at 60 frames per second, the recommended bitrate is between 4500 and 6000 kbps. The required upload speeds are between 5.6 Mbps and 7.4 Mbps.Does Twitch stream 120fps?
Just wanted to let people know who might not be aware, but if you set your framerate in OBS to 120fps while streaming twitch will actually play 120fps video on the 'source' quality. *note it will say 60 fps in the twitch menu, but if you check the stats of the stream it will show 120 fps*.Is 6000 bitrate Too High?
Excessive High Bitrate Simply using a higher bitrate does not necessarily mean better quality; in this case such high bitrate is causing instability. Remember to adhere to a maximum of 6000. In many cases, high bandwidth causes stream instability throughout a broadcast.How To FIX Your Laggy Stream! - Fix Dropped Frames, Best Encoder, And Bitrate Settings!
