Watch from 1:30 - As you can see the FPS is fine, the stream quality is fine, everything is fine.

At 2:10 - I alt tab and the entire stream glitches out and I don't even know anything about it unless someone tells me or I view it on my phone.

How can I fix this or is it not possible to Stream on OBS with Twitch with one monitor.

Thank you for the help if you have any!

You seem to have some overlay which is likely conflicting.

Wow thankyou for the fast response!

Yes you are correct, its the Rss overlay so I can monitor temps mainly. So if I am unable to run this overlay, is there another method to monitor temps in game with 1 monitor while streaming?

If not then it sounds like having a 2nd monitor is the only alternative.

I bought a second monitor and disabled ALL overlays. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/322957272 Go to 3:30, same issue (after I tabbed back into the game to start the stream).

It literally has to do with alt tabbing I swear this is a bug, I don't know what to do.

RTSS backround service still running, maybe?
Disabling the RTSS OSD Overlay is not the same as disabling the whole RTSS service or closing MSI Afterburner + RTSS.

So you're not allowed to have MSI Afterburner OR RTSS even open while streaming?? Wow.

You are allowed, but as RTSS already hooks into games/framebuffer it can cause problems when multiple programms will do so (RTSS + OBS).

RTSS + afterburner Off - even the start menu is toasted. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/322964466

Ok so now I'm watching OBS, the game capture on OBS is flickering on the 2nd monitor prior to even streaming. What?

 

[Munchmatoast]

So after some more testing:

- Game capture Flickers regardless of streaming, it simply does even while watching 2nd monitor.
- Window Capture flat out is frozen
- Display capture captures perfectly.

What???

Lol and I fixed the issue by ticking "Capture third party overlays (such as steam)" because I had the steam overlay technically active but never on.......... wow......
