Greetings!
I am trying to set up obs to stream Battlefield 3 to my twitch account and its not letting me.
I am able to see the preview (and stream it) via software capture but that only works in windowed mode. Someone told me (and correct me if I am wrong) but game capture will cause less of a draw (less fps drop) on my computer then software capture which is why I am trying to figure out why Game Capture isn't working. I set up obs as the guides have said and searched for any answers that may have helped but so far nothing has helped.
Do you guys (and gals) have any thoughts or suggestions? (apologies in advance if I am posting this in the wrong place or missed some info in my search)
Thanks!
