Bug Report OBS crashes instantly when I try to preview or start streaming Worms Armageddon

[sahandfard]

I run W:A through Steam. I've downloaded a plugin so it gets to windowed mode at startup and changed the in-game graphics to CPU (as described here: http://worms2d.info/Streaming_a_Game_of_Worms). But when I choose to stream/preview stream, it crashes. What's bugs me even more is that streaming/previewing Hearthstone actually functions (through Twitch). What's the problem? I'll add the crash log to this post. I hope this is fixable, because it would be cool to stream W:A when I play it.

Unfortunately your laptop GPU drivers are crashing. Many laptops have issues with OBS since the drivers are not well tested. Try a different capture methods, or ideally use a desktop PC.

But why does Hearthstone work, but not Worms ?

Different games use different parts of the GPU.

Not all games are created equal unfortunately, that's why games like GTA V will keep crashing my GPU drivers while others work fine.

OBS like other capture programs tries to hook into the picture buffer to get an snapshot of the currently displayed image. But if the developer has done this in a weird or hackish way, it can cause a clash.
