@FeltHat, I love to get comments and advice to help improve my streams. I have it set about the best I can for my meager system and I still get some pausing. I was trying to get the highest detail at my 1280 x 720 res, which is where I have to run R3E to keep it smooth.
I am retired and on a fixed income so what I have is what I have. I was worried about this exact thing when I started streaming and I was waiting for comments/advice to improve it overall. I will "play" with lower detail as soon as I have some time, but I am not too sure what I can do about the resolution...
