Question / Help PvZ Garden Warfare/Origin Games Not Capping with New Monitors

[OnTheFrontLine]

I just recently moved and i used to have a 52 inch(1920x1080)/20 inch(not sure on res) monitor setup, but i am now running dual 24 inch (1920x1200) monitors. I use OBS 32 bit for plugin compatibility but since i have switched monitors It seems like the game capture is no longer working with Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare and another game or two i tested within Origin. It seems to cap with the 64 bit, but i think it locked up a couple times while i was testing that. It oes seem to work somewhat if i do the borderless window setting within the game, but not the regular fullscreen like i was running before the move.

I have changed my monitor resolutions to 1920x1080 to match what i had before. I have reset the video settings in PvZGW and I've even resinstalled Origin/Video drivers. I am running a EVGA GTX760, Windows 8, latest Nvidia drivers released the other day. This occurred before the driver update so i know that is not it. I currently run 1920x1080 downscale to 720p/30fps (this has always worked perfect).

My computer is turned off right now and i am remote so i cannot get the log files at this time, but i will check them out when i get home.

In summary, it appears to have something to do with the change of monitors, but i am not 100% on that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)

I am beginning to think this is related to the latest Origin update they just released, and has nothing to do with my change of monitors. I can capture all steam games fine, it is only Origin games that give me this error:

Trying to hook process: PVZ.Main_Win64_Retail.exe
Warning -- GraphicsCaptureSource::AttemptCapture: Failed to inject library, error code = -5

 

[dodgepong]

That error message means "Acess Denied". Make sure you're running OBS as administrator, and give "Anti-cheat compatibility" a try in Game Capture.

This should have nothing to do with your monitors.

 

[OnTheFrontLine]

The anti cheat seems to have cleared it up. I see it says only use if necessary. Is it safe to leave it on or should i just turn it off if problem arise?

 

[dodgepong]

It's safe to leave it on, but if you're using it on a game that doesn't need it, then you can turn it off.
