Hi everyone,
Just got BF4 (yeah I know... it's not exactly a new title...) and got it working almost perfectly with OBS-MP 0.12.2, even with SLI. At anywhere from 130-200fps the game runs fine and I'm not really seeing any stutters etc. with OBS-MP like I have with H1Z1.
Getting it working was a little weird, though. I'm running the game in Borderless Windowed mode and using Game Capture in OBS-MP (on Windows 7 SP1). Oddly, OBS-MP is not finding the running BF4.EXE, or at least not showing it in the list of running programs or windows.
In experimenting to get it initially working, the only way I could seem to get OBS-MP to find it is to turn on the checkbox that enables capturing ANY fullscreen application. It also appears to require the Anti-cheat Compatibility Mode checkbox be turned on in Game Capture. FWIW I also had to turn on the Third Party Overlay checkbox on to catch the MSI Afterburner/Rivatuner Stats Server OSD output (although this is kinda separate from the game itself). Finally, it seems like I had to hover the mouse back over the window the game was running in (ie, move mouse away from OBS) while I was setting up the scene in OBS-MP for for it to "see" the game's output and put a preview of it in the add Game Capture source dialog menu.
Once I did that, it ran fine and I got about a 25-30 minute run encoded and transcoded through my "transcoder rig". It was basically a test run on "the range" practice map.
Anywho, shortly after playing that test run and watching it, an update to the game came out, and I let it apply it. Not sure how related that is, but since then, I'm having a hard time getting OBS to "find" BF4's output again. I did the practice range again, as well as 1-2 public servers - I did get it to "find" / "acquire" the game once, but at some point along the way it stopped seeing the video capture from it and was missing from the rest of the stream.
Has anybody else seen anything like this with BF4 with OBS-MP? I'm brand-n00b to the game so not sure what to think of it - but it almost seems like the running bf4.exe is "hidden" from OBS-MP or something (why doesn't it show up in the list of running windows/programs)?
I was able to switch BF4 to running in a window, and that did make it show up in the list of windows, but OBS-MP still couldn't capture it. Is this a punkbuster thing or something else interfering with hooking?
Thanks
