Question / Help Window capture not updating when gaming @ fullscreen

Hey guys I currently stream @

3500kbps @ 720p60

Right now I'm optimizing for the best stream performance and 720p60 seems to be where it is at, but the trouble i'm having at this point is the fact that my OS resolution is still 1080p...

I set my base resolution to 720p with NO down scaling to optimize performance, which is fine, but the games I play are set to 720p @ fullscreen so that I can game without distractions...

Problem comes in when I want to add twitch chat to my stream. The window capture that I setup doesn't update on stream when I have SOME games on fullscreen mode(they have to be set to borderless window).The twitch chat overlay instantly updates the second that I alt+tab out of the fullscreen game but doesn't update once I'm back into the game. Is there any way to fix this little issue?

Because at this point the only think i can think of is setting the native OS resolution to 720p, so that when I go windowed borderless the game fills my monitor... Problem is that windows gives me a warning that some apps might not open because its smaller than the 768px min... 0_0

Is this with a single monitor, or are you window capturing a second monitor?

If you want to add your chat to your stream without having to do window capture, you can try adding it via IRC. There are several such options in the Tools and Plugins section of the forums.

If you're using window capture to capture twitch chat, you *might* have to disable hardware acceleration in flash to fix the problem.
