Question / Help Still cant stream dota 2

Dasherz · Nov 3, 2012

I have tried everything you said, tried setting priority to highest changing all settings, but it still lags as soon as I alt tab into dota. However while alt tabbed with dota 2 as the source the game streams perfect. I really want to use this program so hopefully there is some answer eventually, best of luck :P

Okay, try lagging the stream for like a minute straight in dota, then close the app, and post me a log of this occurring, if possible. Aero on, or off? window capture, monitor capture, or device?

My tip is to use dxtory with dota. better performance and no issues.

I have tried aero on and off, I need to use software capture as I need to be able to alt tab and still show dota, my upload is 30mb I am getting no dropped frames, the stream just lags like crazy on dota and also disconnects about 80% of the time when I alt tab back into dota 2 window.

Literally ave no idea what else to try.

Dasherz · Nov 9, 2012

trying dxtroy now but it would be good to not have to use it for obvious reasons.

Warchamp7 · Nov 9, 2012

Why is your preset on slow?

Dasherz · Nov 9, 2012

I have tried literally all of them, noramlly its on very fast, must have just been for that test. I have actually pressed every button, now ive just tried dxtory but the quality has gone down and it lags my computer for some reason.

Also with dxtory set as the dota 2 window alot of the time its crashes obs and then tell me to post a log file

Was just streaming 720p Dota2 with OBS from a laptop. In "borderless window" mode with OBS software capture.

Dasherz · Nov 12, 2012

What are you exact settings your using? I can use both ffsplit and xsplit to stream perfectly its just obs that still messes up so it shouldnt be my computer.

TanGeng · Nov 13, 2012

Quick test try turning your send buffer size down to 8192.

Lain · Nov 13, 2012

very strange. well, another option is you can try the current test version of game capture - viewtopic.php?f=7&t=283 is where it's posted.

it works very well with dota 2

Dasherz · Nov 17, 2012

using the new program tis alot better but still lags during big fights a little bit, but in general much better.
