Question / Help Streaming WoW with OBS and i always crash

[jslupik]

HI all,

I recently tried to start streaming again and since my layoff i have had time to try and fix my setup and get everything settled. I have been running into issues where when I am streaming WoW just decides to crash everytime. When i dont stream i dont crash, I dual box alot and still don't have issue. whats funny is that when i dual box and stream i still crash but with the only screen that was being broadcasted and the other screen is just fine,

I was also wondering if anyone knows how to get bots set up in Twitch chat, i have Mirc and i have my trivia account connected but can't get trivia to work

If you need any information or what not but this is everything i have

Crashing of games when using game capture means other programs could be interfering. What programs could be interfering? Cue copy/pasted response for this:

"These could be other capture programs, game mods and graphics mods (sweetfx in particular), graphics card utilities like msi afterburner or the EVGA 'K boost' feature, or programs that put in custom in-game overlays for their program, such as teamspeak/mumble overlays"

For world of warcraft, there might be an issue when you run it a certain way. If it's running DirectX 10/11, try making it run DirectX 9. If it's 64bit, try to make it run 32bit.

Hey Jim,

It appears running in DIrectX9 works i was able to stream for over a hour without crashing so it appears that might have did the trick!

Its nice using a program where the developer actually tackles the problems the users are having!

Thanks!
