Hello,
I have been streaming for about a year or so with OBS, and one of the games I stream most often is a game called StepMania. It is a free dancing game very similar to Dance Dance Revolution.
Anywho, I have been streaming this game for about a year now, and all of a sudden yesterday I couldn't stream the game anymore. Here is what happens, I start StepMania, I start OBS, both programs are running fine, however as soon as I start broadcasting or previewing a broadcast with "Game Capture" in my scene, StepMania crashes. This is a new problem that I have never encountered before. I was always able to stream StepMania through OBS just fine until now.
Things I tried to fix it:
None of these have fixed the issue.
The game runs 100% fine when OBS isn't previewing/capturing/broadcasting, so I know the issue must be OBS hooking into the game otherwise I would try to find support from the StepMania forums, however since this is an OBS specific issue I was hoping someone could please help me here. It appears other people have had this issue in the past as well, and never gotten it resolved. Can anyone please help me? Also I have a Radeon R9 270X if that makes any difference. Pretty please help! I really want to continue streaming this game, the only alternative I can think of is to move onto another streaming program and I really don't want to do that (I love OBS). Thank you in advance.

Things I tried to fix it:
- Switching OBS to Window Capture instead of Game Capture (doesn't capture game)
- Switching OBS to Monitor Capture (doesn't capture game)
- Enabling "anti-cheat hook mode" - game still crashes when OBS has game capture on/doesn't capture in other modes
- Changing StepMania to run in windowed mode instead of fullscreen
- Changing more StepMania display settings (resolution, graphics, etc)
- Setting both StepMania and OBS to "Run as Admin"
- Setting both StepMania and OBS to "Windows XP SP3" Compatibility Mode
- Adding both StepMania and OBS to anti-virus exceptions
- Disabling anti-virus/putting anti-virus in "game mode"
- Turning off several background programs (i.e. Raptr, Teamspeak)
- Updated AMD graphics drivers to most current version (12/8 drivers)
None of these have fixed the issue.
