Hi guys,

Im trying to stream LoL ( League of Legends).
When the game is in small window mode, stream is perfectly fine.
But when the game actually starts and goes to full screen the screen turns black.

Any tips how to solve it?

Ty,

Make sure you have a capture set up for the actual LoL game, and not just the pre-game client.

The best way to stream LoL is to set up 2 scenes. First, keep Aero enabled. Then, in the first scene, have a Window Capture of the LoL client, and in the second scene, have a Game Capture of the actual LoL game (or Window capture if the game is in Windowed or Borderless mode). Then use the Simple Scene Switcher to automatically swap between them: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1785 Avoid Monitor capture altogether.

Yes here is the tip - Use Borderless option for your video settings in game.
If you are using monitor capture disable aero. If otherwise add Game Capture to capture the game. (Btw you have to understand that Client and Game are different instances, pvp client it's only for the client, and then there is the game, you have to add it to obs when the game starts).

Okay that did the trick. No more black screen in game!!

I got the following questions then it should be perfect.

The Window mode doenst seem to be central on stream but is really weirdly placed mid left. The pre game client to be precise.
The simple Scene switcher, do i need something special to download it? I already found out by searching the help section by just clicking the sources manually you can switch. But this seems handy.

Thanks again,

Farzam

You can center the sources. When you are over the scene capture (window capture) you can use right click - center (inside the options) or just use CTRL+C when you selected it. What I do, so I dont have to switch betwen scenes is thsi : http://i.imgur.com/cQ1ivZ9.png (as you can see I have gamecapture on the top of the other two sources, so when I exit the game since game is not there to be captured it shows me directly the League cliente).
