hi there,

first about my pc:

i7 4790k cpu
16gb ram
gtx 980 gpu

game: Alien Isolation / PC

so my problem is, when i activate window capture to show livesplit when the game is in windowed fullscreen (vsync disabled / so the game use my gpu load at 99% all the time), i get weird little stuttering INGAME even when my fps counter is pretty high over 200+ without any fps drops INGAME it just dont looks smooth anymore. So i disabled windows capture and the reproducable weird stuttering was gone, is it a bug or whats the issue here exactly?

Another thing i tried, i changed the game into fullscreen mode, window capture enabled, the weird stuttering isnt there but when i re-checked my recorded broadcast on my twitch profile, only the game was recorded on stream, no livesplit (windows capture) at all, so is windows capture not working when the game is in fullscreen mode? When i tabbed out of the game, window capture was working bc it recorded livesplit on stream, any help would be really nice ;(

thanks in advance

Remove the window capture and build just a game capture for your game, enable aero as well. you can disable the OBS preview window once you get your scenes up correctly. If you get a black window for capture of AI then double click on the game capture and enable anticheat compatibility.

that should pretty much cover it. If you are still having issues, post a new log with streaming or recording for 5 minutes.

Aero is disabled

Aero seems to be disabled, consider enabling it unless using monitor capture.

Window capture with Aero disabled

You are using window capture with Aero disabled. This causes other windows placed on top of the capture window to show on the stream instead of only the selected window. It is recommended to enable Aero when using window capture to prevent this.

Because you're using windows 7, this is actually a major issue.

dping, he's not window capturing a game, he's window capturing a support program that doesn't game capture

You NEED aero enabled for window capture to work properly. Windows 7 with aero disabled causes MAJOR performance issues when dealing window capture.

yes like i said, i enabled windows aero, started Alien Isolation in fullscreen mode NO weird stutter issue but its streaming only the game, not my livesplit (window capture)

Make sure the livesplit window capture is above the game capture on the list in sources. From your log, you have it set below the game capture which will be behind it.

thanks guys finally the damn livesplit is on stream and my ingame dont stutters anymore! Dont know what exactly the issue was but I enabled windows aero, changed Alien Isolation from "windowed fullscreen" to "fullscreen" and put in obs livesplit window capture above the game capture. :]

its crazy which issues u get with this game but i think it is bc windows aero forced his own vsync when the game was in windowed fullscreen which made the game stutter even when the fps counter was 200+ bc ingame vsync was disabled.

I run many games in full screen-windowed without issue.
