Question / Help Mouse Flickering

[ChillK1lly]

Every time i start streaming my mouse starts to flicker and i can't play. It doesn't flicker in the live stream, just for me. And i looked some guides up and stuff but still it keeps flickering, i really need some help.

P.S This just started happening yesterday, the moment when i downloaded it it wouldn't happen but now it started and i can't stream because of it.

Could you post your log so we can see the settings used, software and hardware? (Here is how-to viewtopic.php?f=5&t=97 )

Here, this is the last log i had, if you need anything else to help me with, please tell me.

Hmmm you use monitor capture. Do you have Capture Layered Windows option ticked in Monitor Capture options? If it's ticked it might cause mouse flickering.

What are you capturing? If you capture games, you should always use Game Capture. If that's not possible for whatever reason then play in windowed or borderless window and capture with Window Capture. Monitor Capture is the worst method for game capture since it's not meant to use for that purpose. Most games for with Game Capture. Some require Window Capture. Monitor Capture shouldn't ever used with games.

I have tried to use game capture ( i stream League of Legends) But i wasn't able to select the game, all i could select were other applications like paint opened in my desktop.

Did you try windowed or borderless window with Window Capture already?

E: Btw when was the last time you installed windows updates? If it was few days ago this might be the case: Windows 7 KB2803821 Update Breaks Down A Number Of Applications | Windows8update.com

E2: Here you can check if you have it installed (sorry my OS is in Finnish but the menu layout is still the same so you'll find it:

And then look for it from this list. KB2803821. If it's there just right click it and uninstall and then reboot your pc.

Yeah it was a few days ago since i just formatted my PC.

I found the file and deleted it and also rebooted my PC but in the window capture/game capture setting won't let me select league of legends after the game starts, otherwise i can stream the client but not the game...

Hmmmm does this help you?

LoL is kind of weird and annoying to stream, since it uses a 2-window model. What you'd do is the following:

-- Get OBS (obviously).
-- Get this plugin.
-- Set up 2 scenes:

• Game (or Window) capture of its main window.
• Game Capture of its game window (the actual match)

That way you can have the plugin switch automatically between the 2 scenes. Making the use of Monitor Capture (which a lot of people streaming LoL try at first) completely unnecessary. Monitor Capture typically gives the weakest performance.

Just want to say thx to WayZHC. Game capture is a much better method than Monitor capture and runs much more smoothly and fixes the mouse flicker issue.
