Question / Help Source Games Very Buggy With OBS For Me

Hello everyone!

First off, Merry Christmas to everyone.

I'm having a bit of a problem here attempting to stream with OBS...

This problem first started on my Optimus-powered laptop - Switches between the internal GPU and the dedicated GPU. Well, I figured that this was simply a problem with Optimus and that there was no hope until I got back to my DESKTOP.

I'm now at my desktop trying to stream, and the exact same problems are happening.

If I have OBS open and then I open Counter Strike: Global Offensive (A Source engine game) while it is added as a source to the stream, the game has a black screen - On both my laptop with Optimus and my desktop with a dedicated 660TI.

Alternatively, once I tab out of the game and tab back in, it appears that CS:GO minimizes itself and all that is left is my desktop showing, with a small black rectangular box in the top left of my monitor.

_

I'm leaning towards this being a software bug, as it's happened on both of my computers with and without Optimus. On BOTH of these computers, I've had CS:GO work without a hitch before. It all started today that I noticed.

I can work around the issue on my desktop by running the game in "Fullscreen Windowed" mode and capturing it with Window Capture. I feel that this drops my FPS a bit and I would like to not have to play like that.

The only possible thing I could think that might somehow be related to these things would be the fact that Razer Synapse was recently updated on both computers as I just got a new Razer mouse, although I'm not sure how that would correspond to OBS.

_

I'll upload recent logs and see what can be found from those, although I'm not entirely sure how to reproduce the most helpful log. I went ahead and on my desktop did a test stream that can be found here: http://www.twitch.tv/sirzuidy/b/603251433

The log from that stream is attached to this thread.

_

Thanks everyone! Have a great day / night. :)

I'm starting to be convinced that CSGO and OBS are no longer a match for livestreaming. As I am having similar issues with CSGO and CSGO only. (this is on the laggy part, where I only experience output lagg)

Anyway, do you run the program as admin? Most times black screens are caused by the lack of that permission.

Yeah, I'm not sure but I'd like to say this is a bug within OBS. No reason for it to be happening on both of my PC's and to boot there is an influx of people asking about CS:GO right now on the boards.

Osiris I'd like to thank you for the solution.... I was thinking somewhat logically to the effect that it MIGHT have something to do with Razer Synapse but didn't think of closing it and trying.

I can confirm that closing Razer Synapse, then restarting both OBS and CS:GO fixed my issue.

Glad I can stream now! Only thing is, I'd like this STILL to be fixed (probably going to have to be on Razer's part, though?) because this renders my macros in game impossible to be used.

Thanks for the input Osiris!

You could try to end the process that's hooking into the game through task manager. I don't know the exact name but it's something with the word hook in it.
