Question / Help Dropping frames while using Screen Capture

henkebenkdenk · Jan 5, 2014

Hello,

I've tried to use a program called "TwitchAlerts". It allows you to make a banner when someone follows/donates/subscribes to you.

To use this, you have to use Screen Capture. But when I play League of Legends my frames drops to 30, and stays there...!

I would really love to get some help here! (Game capture wont work for this....)

Cheers!

If you absolutely have to use monitor capture, you need to disable Aero.

If I disable "Aero", my Follow/Donate/Subscribe bar doesnt come up...

paibox · Jan 5, 2014

You need to enable "Capture layered windows" or something in the properties for the monitor capture. Also, whoever made this follow/donate/subscribe thing should be punched for making it so annoying to capture.

Switch to SubAlert instead. http://twitch.tv/subalert
Allows window capture, and sounds a TON better than what you're using right now. Should never HAVE to use monitor capture.

Edit: Wait, that IS TwitchAlerts. You definitely DO NOT need to use monitor capture. Use Window Capture instead. It works fine. I use it myself.
Also, you need to manually update OBS, you're on a very old version where the auto-updater accidentally got disabled. There have been a TON of patches since then.

Wow, OK! Thank you sir! I will try it out and then come with an update for this thread! :)

Cheers

EDIT: It worked! Thank you so much sir! :)
