Bug Report Steam overlay causing issues with OBS

vbdkv · Sep 27, 2013

Not sure if it has been reported yet, but if you stream/record and steam pops up in-game with friend activity, the graphics goes all funky. It has happened in every game I've tested so far (Company of Heroes, Two Worlds, TF2, X3 Terran Conflict) so I'm assuming it's happening with all games.

Naturally I've disabled steam in-game for now, however this issue started happening after I downloaded the OBS update (0.57b).

Thanks.

Video of it happening (note I'm baffled and may use the F word a lot) ;)

This doesn't actually happen to me, usually it actually just doesn't show it, but I can see how that could conflict.

Just an update. It wasn't OBS/Steam causing the strange glitching, it was RadeonPro. I assumed that without a specific game profile in RadeonPro it would simply ignore whatever game I was playing, but that didn't happen.

So no issue with Steam overlay or OBS :)
