Re: Need feedback on a new version of game capture
I am a usually using Dxtory so this plugin got my interest and I tested it with some games I had installed.
First of all my system:
Win7 pro x64
i5 3570k @4.5GHz
8GB RAM
Radeon HD4850 with the most up to date drivers(no beta drivers). Soon I'll swap it out for 660ti so more feedback coming.
If there is something more you need just ask.
My experience with it is good, it runs better then using Dxtory. I was able to stream 1280x720 resolution where with Dxtory I had to stay at 996x560. And there wasn't even a noticeable performance hit when going with the higher resolution.
So my testing results, everything was done in windowed mode:
Games that worked fine:
Tribes Ascend(UE3)
Portal2/Portal:Prelude(newer and older source engine)
Torchlight 2
Race Driver:GRID
Frozen Synapse
Just cause 2
FTL
Kerbal Space Program
Legend of Grimrock
Running with Rifles(note! When the game window is not active it runs @0FPS, so the stream had a black screen. And when I clicked the game window everything worked fine.)
Games that had problems:
Metro2033-only once gave me black screen and when I restarted the stream it worked fine and I was not able to reproduce the problem.
Dustforce-First time you start the stream or preview it works fine but after few seconds to few minutes it freezes and when you restart the stream/preview it goes to black screen. And restarting game and OBS will start the process over again.
Serious Sam 3-Had a black screen
Crysis1(DX10)/Crysis Wars(multiplayer for Crysis Warhead, chose this because it is supposed to support DX10.1)-Game crashes when starting stream/preview when it tries to capture the game. Crashes when going from a scene without game capture to a scene with game capture, but only when OBS is streaming/previewing. Crysis Wars also has a 32bit .exe and it still crashed when I started the game with that.

That is it for now. I have a fairly varied library of games(old and new, different engines) so if there is something specific you want to test and you cant ask I may have the game your looking for.
Also I cant wait when you start porting it over to Linux. I am hoping that gaming will get stronger there and I will test out your software on Linux.
