Question / Help Battlefeild 4 FPS issue when streaming new v0.656

[advisd_fiststeel]

I finally updated my OBS to latest patch 2 days ago on 10/25/15 and now everytime i go live playing the only game i stream which is BF4 my FPS goes from 120-160 to 30-50 in game and 22 fps on stream??? i have been streaming bf4 for over a year never having an issue with a major fps drop at all? Its so bad i literally cant stream. Sucks because i just launched my own server and just got it populated for the purpose of streaming and now i cant. Can i back date to old version some how? I have turned off Origin overlay and that did nothing like someone suggested. I turned on anti cheat on game capture like someone suggested and that did nothing.? any idea what is going on? Thanks LOG ATTACHED

Nothing was changed in the game capture code, so the update can't have anything to do with it.
Also remove monitor capture, it destroys performance on windows 7.

Doesnt make any sense? I have ran with these setting sense i started streaming last Oct? I update obs and i cant stream because i get crazy FPS drop?

 

[varyak]

Well then you changed something else, like Osiris already mentioned nothing was changed in the code for ages.

Which version of OBS did you used before?

 

[advisd_fiststeel]

I'm telling you literally never changed anything. i was using the version before the latest. i always just hit update when it says one is available. i updated to this version and every time i go live now FPS drops to unplayable level. It's really strange. Anyway possible update could have changed any of my settings?

 

[Osiris]

Like I said, remove the monitor capture source completely.

 

[advisd_fiststeel]

hmmm. ok so i actually turned off monitor capture and it goes back to playable level. Thanks. Update def changed something to bog down PC performance some how. I have always ran game capture and monitor capture with no issues ever until last update .

 

[advisd_fiststeel]

Thanks again. Hope next update can fix that issue. i like to show monitor to be transparent because im always accused of hacking

Except the code in question didn't change.

 

[Osiris]

There was literally nothing updated, but the streaming services list. And monitor capture has always been crap on Windows 7.

 

[advisd_fiststeel]

I dont know fellas. That's just strange. i'm not a code guy but i promise you guys i have always ran monitor and game capture since the day i started streaming and never had FPS drop in BF4 until this recent update i installed a couple days ago. Something not compatible with BF4 maybe that was updated? Like i said i dont know how all this stuff works but what i'm saying is a fact. No issues running monitor and game capture until last patch. For the first time i turned monitor capture off like Osiris suggested and went back to normal FPS.

 

[advisd_fiststeel]

hmmm. No idea but always ran windows 7 and monitor capture dudes i 100% promise you.

I have not updated to 10 because i had friends tell me to wait until buigs are worked out. You guys suggest i do now? OBS run better and faster with 10 would you say?
