Bug Report BF4 and recording or streaming

[sickwit]

I am trying to record BF4 in borderless mode // Windowed mode. When doing so, BF4 does not show up in Sources (right click applications). So when i record it records a black screen with sound.. any fix? (full screen works but i dont like fullscreen).

I have to confirm, BF4 does not show up in the Window Capture or Game Capture dropdown.
Game Capture still works fine using the Hotkey method(unless you use Mantle of course).
(Tested in both 0.61b and 0.62b test 1)

The Hotkey method... can you give me an exact setup for this? as iv tryed it (press f12) in game with it selected and i get black screen still?

I also have .613 build with 64bit

 

[Jack0r]

Hmm, thats just how you do it actually. Just set a hotkey as you wish and while in-game press this hotkey and obs should capture it. Make sure in the options of BF4 under video - directx 11 is set and not mantle.

 

[sickwit]

Where is that option in BF4 at i could not find it.

 

[Jack0r]

If its on Direct3D 11, you are good and game capture should work.

 

[sickwit]

I do not have that option... I have an AMD R9 290 but i dont have the mantle drivers (as i dont want mantle)

 

[sickwit]

Okay i have done that, still getting black screens

 

[Jack0r]

Hmm, only idea I have left is to run OBS as administrator, although I did not have to do it, that can help.

 

[sickwit]

Iv also tryed that, in no way is it ever reading BF4 in Borderless mode.. will u guys be fixing this soon?

 

[sickwit]

I have build .613B is there any way i can downgrade? I would like an older version as i was able to use the older version to record in BF4..If so can you provide me a link
