Question / Help Instant Wolfenstein: The New Order Game Crash When Using OBS

[Vaughn Whiskey]

I have been having issues since 4am with trying to get Wolfenstein: The New Order Game to work with OBS. Whenever I add Wolfenstein: The New Order as a game capture source the game instantly crashes. I have no clue on what to do with this and I honestly doubt it is a OBS issue because the game seems to be super buggy and glitchy anyways.

Just thought I would ask here.

My logs, It says I am using

I'm unfamiliar with this game (due to it being brand new and all) but if it uses an engine similar to RAGE (OpenGL and all) it's entirely possible that OBS is trying to hook its GL context in a way the engine isn't happy with.

You may have to use something like DXtory, or wait until someone more comfortable with OpenGL can check out what might be causing it.

Thanks paibox, I know this will cause some heat on me here but I just tested with xsplit (ughhh...) and it didn't close. I hope you guys can figure out a simple fix because i don't want to use that program.

Well, XSplit's game source is only similar to OBS' Game Capture if you enable the "special optimization" or whatever its called in the options, so that's not entirely surprising, it also doesn't copy the framebuffer elsewhere in video RAM, so it's like comparing apples to apes.

Scrap that. XSPLIT turns my game to crap lol. 3FPS standing still and it looks like trash.

Honestly think the game is just soooo broke that they didn't think of streaming stuff aswell lol I'll just hold off until you guys look over stuff. I have faith in the OBS crew.

Dxtory or a Capture Card seems to be the way to go for this game atm.

Yea, I have a elgato... seems I am going to have to go that path for now. Thanks guys.

This is indeed the same engine as RAGE, same sort of crash that used to happen when RAGE was released as well. I've made a build of OBS that uses minHook for hooking, available here: Edit: Scratch that, apparently the crash still happens with minHook.

Do not replace your regular build of OBS with it, just unzip it somewhere and use it for Wolfenstein until hopefully the GL hooking can be fixed/changed.

Ehr, sorry, I uploaded it to the wrong server. Should be up now.

hate to be the messenger here but still... no go on this. Same crash happens.

Question: Do you have an ATI video card? If so, this must be a bug with their OpenGL drivers. After making this build and trying to find someone who wasn't AFK to test it, I heard that it apparently worked just fine, but they all had NVIDIA video cards, which is why I'm wondering.

Edit: I checked your Twitch page, and you do indeed have ATI video card(s).

i do, I run AMD Radeon HD 7970

 

[paibox]

Well, considering all the performance issues this game apparently has with ATI video cards, I'm guessing that a driver update will be showing up soon.

sad enough, the newest driver 14.4 was issued for wolfenstein ahahahaha. thanks for the help sir

 

[josecitox]

So theres no way to capture it without a capture card or am i missing something?

 

[paibox]

Only like half the thread.

TL;DR: Crashes on ATI cards, works on NVIDIA cards, you can wait for new ATI drivers or use a capture card.

 

[josecitox]

That´s what i did´nt catch clear, i have an AMD card. FML :(

Thx tho. :)

I'm going to be experimenting with this tonight if I can. I have an ATI as well so perhaps I can get it fixed, I have an idea for why id games keep crashing. I'll release an update ASAP if I get it fixed.

If you need anyone to test anything Jim, hit me up man.
