Question / Help DotA 2 crashes when I hit "start streaming" or "preview stream"

[1vol]

So my problem is, if I add DotA 2 as a game source, it crashes instantly without any error right after i press "Preview Stream" or "Start Streaming". Any other software like fraps, shadowplay, bandicam is off, even my steam overlay is disabled. I couldn't find any useful info in other threads, so I made a new one.
I've tried using older versions, same problem everywhere.
Also it doesn't crash if I use Xsplit

Perhaps using Razer Synapse?

No. I am not using ANY other software, I tried disabling everything, even skype, nothing seems to work.

Yea, I'm using it and have that problem. What is the solution?

Sometimes Synapse will cause this issue, so close it out and try. Also, there are windows 8 security updates that cause this as well, but not for the previewing however. So, it's probably conflicting with something. Post a log file: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/problem-make-sure-to-post-a-log-and-or-crash-dump-howto.97/

Well, sorry for highjacking the tread, my game does not crash when I start streaming/preview, so I can't sent a crash log. The second I start recording/streaming the game screen freezes - I can continue playing the game ( I hear the sounds and my mouse commands work) but my screen is showing a "screenshot" from the time I pressed record - so the only solution for me is to kill the game process. Have not tried closing Razer Synapse yet, hopefully that will fix it. Also, I have never had this problem with any other game, that I streamed or recorded ( > 50 titles).

You could still post a log file to see your specs: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/problem-make-sure-to-post-a-log-and-or-crash-dump-howto.97/

Sounds to me that this game is more CPU intensive, causing that lock-up. Also, have you OCed your CPU? Because maybe that, coupled with the stream my be stressing your CPU.
