OBS has left a serious serious problem on my computer, even after install, for the second time on a second computer.
After downloading OBS something like 6 months ago, I noticed that even though I had a nice rig and my FPS was over 140 for League of Legends, the screen was very stuttery, like non-stop. At the time I found other people complaining about this on LoL forums, but no fix anywhere that anyone was aware of. I uninstalled OBS, and it was still happening, so I assumed it could not be OBS at the time. I assumed it was LoL, and stopped playing the game for a while.
Fast forward to last week, when I downloaded OBS again to try and stream Magicka. Basically, the exact same thing happened after trying to do Game Capture and Monitor Capture for Magicka. I immediately shut down OBS, but the problem continued. i uninstalled, and problem still continued! When I checked your forums here, I found another poster with the exact same problem, but forum moderators quickly brushed him off and claimed that if OBS was uninstalled, then that could not be the problem.
I assure you, it is the problem. 1 of 2 things is happening:
1. Whatever workaround OBS creates to get the video stream from videocard to file(or stream), this workaround remains and is randomly activating itself when the program originally captured is run in fullscreen mode.
or
2. There is actually very malicious software being installed with OBS install that is not removed upon uninstall.
Either way is a serious concern, because nothing should be left over after uninstall. I've done system restore, verified files, reinstalled games, defragged, checked disks for errors, pretty much all that, and nothing fixes this problem. I still cannot run Magicka right now in fullscreen for more than a couple of minutes before this super lag returns, despite all indicators on my computer saying I am nothing close to max CPU or GPU usage.
I emailed 'Joe' asking him to call me so we could figure out what this serious problem is, but he blew me off in email with a sad story and basically refused to help or look into it. So I filed a complaint with the FTC. When I tried to come back to this forum today to send out a warning, my IP address was blocked from website. I am writing this post now on second forum login through a proxy service.
If you see this message, please copy it and/or spread the word, because this post isn't going to be up long before Joe removes it. Your entire system, credit card numbers, identity, may be compromised. You may be thinking, 'Oh that could never happen." but I assure you it is happening, and all I've gotten in response when I post or email about this problem is a big dodge.
Watch: If I was just totally off base, this message will stay up, but it's going to dissapear withing hours.
There are many other streaming software programs, don't take the chance, and warn your friends.
