Question / Help Problems Streaming Duelyst with OBS

[Erik Coon]

Hello,

Currently I stream games like MTGO and Hearthstone (online card games) on my Late 2013 Macbook Pro using OBS. OBS is great and works exactly like I need it to, except when I am streaming a game called Duelyst. Now this game should be just as resource heavy as the games I mentioned above, but for some reason while I am running OBS with Duelyst, my CPU usage goes to about 38% and my game gets really laggy. I don't drop frames and my quality is great, but it stutters really badly. Now for Hearthstone and the other games I stream, I use the Game Capture. Duelyst isn't recognized by OBS so I have to do the window capture. Is this part of my problem? Is there a solution so it doesn't take up so many resources?

Here is my current setup on my Macbook Pro:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)
Processor: 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics: Intel Iris 1536 MB

Here also is a link to my latest log info:

Here is a link to the stream video. What baffles me is that my webcam is great and it is just the game that stutters: http://www.twitch.tv/eriktheviking_/v/45791890d

Thanks for looking into it!

@Erik Coon Welcome!For Macs,window capture doesn't work really well due to the Mac's API.So you might need to use display capture but you can crop it using these steps:

1. Right-click the source(for Duelyst).
2. Click Filters and click the '+' sign at the bottom-left.
3. Click Crop,then set it to your preferred style(?).
