Question / Help Crashes game evertime I try to stream

[dazsinister]

Hey there, Im having major issues when I try to stream my game. Im of course using 64bit obs. But after I follow the instructions to get everything started and either hit preview or broadcast my game crashes. Is there a work around or something special to do? Game is World of Warcraft. Thank you

Can you post the crash log?

If you are trying to stream World of Warcraft using game capture, you currently need to set the game to use DirectX 9 in the video options, it crashes if you use DirectX 11.

It only happens in WoW? I don't play it I just need to ask.

WoW is the only game I know of for sure that crashes when using DirectX 11. I've had some games (such as Saints Row 3) come up with nothing but a black screen (unless the game was minimized, for some reason). There hasn't been any major work done on game capture lately, due to audio and network fixes, but I'm sure it'll be fixed in due time.
