So lately I got back into trying to livestream and I've been interested in streaming a game I have been playing a lot recently. However, Maplestory just doesn't seem to work when I try to stream it. Other games I have streamed are fine except this one. I know it is possible to stream this game with OBS cause I've seen another streamer do it but I just cannot figure it out.

Thanks for anyones help

Re: Black Screen Problem - Only Game I have had a problem wi

First of all, if you are going to try and Window Capture it (which is fine, by the way), you really want Aero Enabled. With Aero Enabled there basically is no performance difference between Game Capture and Window Capture. However, with Aero Disabled, Window Capture is quite a lot slower.

Which might explain the framelag in your case, which sits at almost 1 out of 3 frames.

So, try enabling Aero and seeing if you can capture it properly with Window Capture. I'm not sure whether Game Capture works for MapleStory. I don't play it.

Hmm I have tried this and it still didn't work... Thanks for the tip though :)

Pretty sure MapleStory has some silly anti-cheat stuff going on (most free online games do these days, unfortunately) which would explain why Game Capture is unable to work.

As for your frame lag, you simply are streaming at too high of a resolution for your hardware to handle, I'm afraid. Downscale to 480p and see if that helps, but your CPU isn't even a Core 2 Duo, just a regular old dual core. Your GPU is also quite old and lacks some of the power that is required to process some of the things OBS has to do.
