Question / Help 2 issues i'm having currently with obs

[Basillic]

-When I use game capture and alttab out of the game the viewers still see the game but it is then frozen. (Same for when I'm using game capture with monitor capture on aswell.)
-When I use monitor capture only, the stream flickers nonstop when i'm ingame.

Both of those are normal issues when streaming fullscreen games. You can't capture a fullscreen game with monitor capture, and when you alt-tab out of a fullscreen game, it will stop rendering, so it will appear frozen.

The solution to both of those problems is to run the game in Borderless Windowed mode.

I have aero disabled since I both use game & monitor capture

Aero has nothing to do with it. It has to do with you running the game in fullscreen mode.

Okay thanks

Should i keep my aero disabled durign stream or enable it?

What should I do once I play my game in a borderless window? Will monitor capture work then witohut the flickering ingame?

Monitor capture isn't recommended at all, so keep Aero enabled. If you want to capture your monitor still, then use DWM capture instead.
