Question / Help Two PC setup makes BF4 crash

[ibeluckyyy]

If i dont have my streaming Computer turned on i can play BF4 just fine with out crashing once. If i turn my Streaming computer on it crashes as the game loads. I'm running the avermedia live gamer hd and a i7 3770k over clocked to 4.3 as my streaming computer and a i7 2600k with two 660 ti's in sli as my gaming computer! Anyone know why something like this would happen?????

If your game crashes only when you're using your streaming computer, you have your dual-PC setup very, very wrong.

The whole point of a dual-PC setup is that the gaming computer behaves the same whether or not you're streaming.

i've been streaming with a two pc setup for two years man, i don't have anything setup wrong. I know what the point of a dual-pc setup is that is why i've been using it for so long. Nothing like this has happen in the past that's why i posted something on here....thinking someone might know something about it!

Well, it's not a problem with OBS, so this is more of a general streaming question, not an OBS bug report, or related to OBS in any way.

It could be any number of things, honestly, and it's hard to say without knowing more about your setup. Maybe it's a problem with the way you're cloning your monitor output and SLI. Or if you're not cloning, maybe it's an issue with passthrough on the Live Gamer HD. Maybe BF4 is making your computer draw too much power to support a second computer on whatever you're plugged into. Maybe BF4 is doing something funky to your network such that it can't handle streaming bandwidth + gaming bandwidth. Maybe there are extra-strong solar flares today. I dunno. Just try things.
