Hi All,
First post here as I need some advice.
I have used OBS to stream Elite: Dangerous for hours with no problems at all.
However, I also play Civilization 5 and for some reason I cannot get the game to stream without either the game crashing or the PC crashing.
I can run and host Civ 5 games perfectly fine for hours and hours with no problems, it only happens when I stream the game with OBS.
Sometimes it will crash within a few minutes sometimes are an hour or so.
I have read and read anything and everything that may help and yet it still does it.
I have also spoken with another very popular Civ 5 streamer and he says my spec far out does his so we couldn't work out what the issue was, I have An FX8350 (8 core) CPU, 8GB Ram, ASUS Sabertooth MB and a GTX 760 graphics card. I am running Windows 7 64bit.
My broadband is fiber with 55MB down and 16mb up speeds.
I have tried running the game in DX9 mode and DX10/11 with no change is results.
I have added the last log file that resulted in a PC freeze up / crash that happened after a couple of hours play.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as playing a game of CIV 5 multiplayer takes quite some time and crashing during it no only screws my game up but other players too.
Thanks in advanced,
