Question / Help Game shows up in window. With Flickering.

[billymonstar]

So I've been trying to stream CS:GO and Black Ops 2. I play CSGO at a lower resolution (1024x768 or 1270x720) than my desktop (1920x1080) and whenever I check my twitch page it shows CS:GO playing over my desktop in a small window and not fullscreened. Black Ops 2 seems to black screen to viewers.

Sources:
Software Capture on Monitor (1)
Webcam

Encoding:

Video:
Base Resolution 1920x1080
Downscale 1280x720

Tried to make a VOD with an example but in my most recent stream it shown the window layered ontop of my desktop but instead of the game footage it was just showing another overlay window of my desktop :/ I'm guessing its an issue with game capturing. Should I use dxtory?

I would use Dxtory and output to directshow, and in fact, that's exactly what I do for everything. You can't beat the OBS/Dxtory combo.

Did you pick your game when you add game capture? I have tried OBS game capture and its performance totally beats OBS + DXTory.

Could I possibly see (or you give me a rundown) of your DXtory and OBS settings? Do I need to disable sound capture on dxtory and let OBS do the sound for streaming? what about resolutions on both programs?

I don't have an option to use 'game' capture. Just Software: Monitor (1) and Window Capture which doesnt include the game window.

You need to download the Game Capture beta.

What version are you using? If you're using 0.432 then it doesn't have game capture feature.
I'm using test version of OBS, it's pretty stable though. You can download it here https://sourceforge.net/projects/obspro ... 0versions/
When you add source, there will be an option of game capture.

I'm confused, this sounds like exactly what happens when you try to capture a game that's in fullscreen mode -- you have to run the games in borderless windowed mode or some windowed mode to get them to capture with software capture.

There is also a new game capture plugin coming in the next version that will allow you to capture fullscreen games as well, as others have mentioned.

If you are capturing a window which I think you said, then there really shouldn't be any problems.. I'm not entirely sure, I'm slightly confused

You don't need to disable sound capture. Just tick 'Directshow' instead of 'File output' and you're good to go. (You might want to adjust the directshow resolution by clicking the yellow icon on the bottom left.
