Question / Help Game source capture issues

[ravagetalon]

Hello,

I'm experiencing an interesting issue while trying to use game capture sources. The source will initially work, but if I alt-tab or de-focus the game window, the source will freeze. I also am unable to refresh or re-add the source as it results in a black screen from then on out.

Any ideas would be appreciated

If it's a fullscreen game, it stops being rendered when alt-tabbed out, so this is a normal and expected behaviour.
Are you using the hotkey to focus the game, or are you assigning an executable in the game capture? Which game is it that you're capturing? Need more information.

Generally with any game I'm going to alt-tab out of, I'd recommend running fullscreen windowed mode if possible; keeps rendering at that point even when it's not focussed.

I'd also recommend adding a logfile from a live streaming session, so we can see more system-specific information and any back-end errors. There's a stickied thread at the top of this forum explaining how to do so.
