Question / Help Different Resolutions

Bearlify · Apr 22, 2013

Hello,

I'm quite the noob when it comes to streaming but I wanted to try it anyway since I recently got new internet (http://speedtest.net/result/2661996381.png). I can easily stream my desktop @1080p 60fps, so I guess my bandwidth shouldn't be a problem?

Sadly however, I encounter two problems when streaming a video game such as Combat Arms.
I'm playing the game on 1440x1080, while my desktop is 1920x1080, to which the stream is set. I'm playing the game full screen, but a viewer sees me playing in windowed mode.
Secondly, the game flickers allot. See http://www.twitch.tv/bearlify/b/394314407 for a visual representation of both problems.

How can I fix this?

Greetings,
David

The flickering (and possibly the "windowed mode" effect) is from trying to capture a fullscreen game with Monitor capture. Either use Game Capture, or play the game in Windowed or Borderless mode.

Can you post a log file ? viewtopic.php?f=5&t=97

you don't have to stream at 1920x1080 if the game is running full screen. set your obs base resolution to 1440x1080 from settings> video then create a new scene and use game capture rather than monitor capture to capture the game.

I tried playing League of Legends bordeless 1920x1080, which was no problem.
The flickering is probably related to Combat Arms having the worst coding in human history

I'm going to try streaming with a OBS resolution of 1440x1080. I guess i'm going to be having to use 2 sources, switching between those when switching between game/desktop?

edit 2: reply so I put the edit in a reply.

You can do it manually or if you really have to, this plugin can do it for you viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1785

Tried it. Game Capture records a black screen (it is set to combat arms: http://puu.sh/2F52g.png).

Close the game and obs then run obs as admin go settings video> select the nvidia adapter and delete the game capture source, run the game and try creating the source again. also give game capture a few seconds to load.

Nope, black. Is there no possibility to capture the stream from GPU to the monitor apart from any capture device? I guess that would work easiest.

Game capture should work fine something is interfering. close all other programs and disable the anti virus if you have one, also make sure you're not using any game modes or effects they can prevent hooking from game capture.

Disabled everything that hooks and AVG. SOUND! But only sound, still a black screen.

You might wanna run dxtory as an alternative.
