Question / Help Need help streaming full screen games on OBS

[Dylan Driesens]

Hello there. Im trying to live stream gameplay of "Guitar Hero 3" for PC and for some reason the game doesn't seem to stream. GH3 has no "windowed" mode so im forced to minimize the game using ALT-TAB and using "Game Capture" to stream but for some reason as soon as i go back to in-game, the stream just...stops. I've inclulded a log file below if anybody can help analyze the problem here.
Speaking of which i try to use hotkeys to start streaming while im in-game but they don't seem to work.

Have you tryed to refresh the game capture? Sometimes like in LOL the star screen isn't the real "Game Play Screen"
I had o refresh the currenttab and Tada... there was the application.

One thing I noticed, is if I don't run OBS in admin mode it won't work sometimes. Before you stream, always right click on obs and click run as administrator. See if that works.

I just remebered something :D Try to run both application in admin mode. I had this problem with GTAV. After starting OBS in admin mode it worked. Just start both applications in admin mode and then the Hotkey for capturing should work :)
