I've been attempting to stream XCOM: UFO Defense on Twitch.TV and I've been having a small cosmetic issue with the way OBS and DOSBOX interact.
I have chosen to capture the game via the 'Window Capture' option, and it works perfectly...so long as the game remains in a window. However, when I go to maximize the game via the alt+enter command, an inexplicable black bar appears at the top of the stream. This black bar displaces the display downwards, causing the bottom of the screen to be cut off.
At first I figured it was a resolution issue; my native monitor resolution is a 16:10 variant (1440x900). However, I have adjusted the stream resoution to 4:3 and 16:9 without any real impact. I can center the screen at these resolutions, but cannot be rid of the black displacing bar at the top.
So I can stream and have it look beautiful provided I leave the window as a window...but it takes up so little of my screen I have to squint. Surely there is a way to eliminate this black bar, but I've gone through OBS and there are no ways to eliminate this odd shifting when in fullscreen.
What sort of OBS fixes might I try to get this image to show correctly?
EDIT: I must also point out that I've already made attempts at defining a subdivision of the window to stream on, as well as dragging the size of the source to varying dimensions while holding shift. Even when skewed extremely thin, fullscreen still plant a displacing black bar on top that cuts off the bottom section of the application.
