Question / Help Really annoying! Game Crashes when Recording/Previewing

[aurrum]

Hey guys,

LOG - http://pastebin.com/NZUT05AU

As the Title says. The game crashes instantly when I hit the record button. I'm attempting to play/record OutLast.
Preview Mode - It crashes
Recording - It crashes

I've googled it and found a couple of people with this issue but there was no answer for them.

Same goes for when I do both at first then open the game it crashes. It works fine in Monitor Capture Mode but that's if I have the game in WIndow Mode and I can't seem to get it to stretch across the whole screen.

I play/record on my 2564*1440 Monitor and have my 1920*1080 Monitor up for obs etc.

SPECS -
Intel i7-4930K 3.4GHz
Corsair H100i
Asus Sabertooth X79
Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866
MSI GTX 780 Lightning 3GB
Samsung 840 EVO 250GB
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB < Where the game is saved to.
Western Digital Caviar Black 3TB < Where it records to

I had that issue when was streaming old games through dxwnd app. Playing with different presets helped, as well as capturing not the game itself, but screen region or the whole screen instead of game capture. Try that - maybe it'll help. I stopped using game capture a while ago.

is game capture worse then window capture? is that why you switched?

I'm not too sure. I've just read that you should be using game capture rather then Window/monitor capture cause it lags or something.

Hrm thats really sad. I use game capture with all my games with no issues at all. I mainly stream/record Starcraft 2 and there hasn't been an issue at all!
I'll give window capture a go and see how that works. Never really used it properly. Thanks for the quick reply sneaky4oe!

Window capture might not work as you desire. I said that desktop capture or screen area is the choice for such situations.

Of cause, game capture is a bit better in performance than anything else, but if you have good PC or low stream settings, it won't really matter.
