Question / Help Stream stuttering problems

[TheRevTastic]

Well I just tried to stream earlier, was going to be streaming The WarZ and other games but kept running into a problem.

At around 52 seconds in that video you can see what started to happen.

This also happened while using XSplit, and this is the first time it's happened to me as I was able to stream Skyrim a few weeks ago without this happening, so whats going on?

How are you capturing the game? Is it running windowed or fullscreen?

Capturing it by just having my monitor they are played on selected and games at full screen.

Edit:

Here is a speedtest and a screenshot of my current settings...

Monitor capture and fullscreen games don't get along generally, usually not at all.

To capture fullscreen games, you'll either need to use Dxtory (Since I see you have it. Make sure OBS is on it's ignore list) or use the Game Capture source in OBS

Alright thanks for the help :).

Which would you say is better? Dxtory or the Game Capture in OBS?

Game Capture by far, though it's not the most stable right now as it's still in the testing stages. If it works fine for you though, it's your best bet.

Well back to square one for me :(.

Game Capture doesn't seem to work with The WarZ and when using Dxtory I get this http://i.imgur.com/86rcK.png, and that's the only size I can have of it.

Edit:

It seems using the 64 bit version, and making the game be 1280x720 fixed it, even though I'd rather it be at 1920x1080.

Also it would be nice if during installation it asked if you wanted to make the 64 bit or 32 bit version default, as I was using the 32 bit one when I should/can be using the 64 bit one.

For Game Capture, do you get any sort of error or is it just a black screen? Make sure both OBS and the game are running at the same user level (Either running as admin or not). It's a slight issue right now that'll hopefully be fixed.

For Dxtory, what resolution is the game at? Seems odd that it's that small.

Added all of that up in my last post via edit, but now how I said I fixed it doesn't work either, still can't stretch it out so that the whole game screen is shown, atm it's only the top half.

 

[Warchamp7]

Yeah, currently you need the same version of OBS bit-wise as the game you're capturing.

Check off the 'Stretch Image to Screen' box in Game Capture to make sure it's all shown.

Welp nothing would really work, it kept saying I needed WarZ to be run as administrator which really isn't possible I don't believe due to the launcher. So I just put it into 1920x1080 and made fullscreen no for the game and that seemed to work, just had the stupid border around the game.

 

[Warchamp7]

If you run the launcher as administrator, the game should get run as admin (Assuming they didn't do something ridiculous and wrong)

 

[Lain]

Ah, nope, it's not WarZ that needs to be run as admin, it's OBS that needs to be run as admin if you get that message.

Ah thanks, got it working now!
