Bug Report OBS Freezing!

[Morfos]

For the past three weeks I've been streaming perfectly with OBS, but just today I've had a huge problem and it won't go away. For some reason the game I want to stream freezes as soon as I preview or start streaming. Only one source is effected. Every other game works perfectly except Realm of the Mad God. I've tried to putting it in as game source and window source but neither work.

Maybe the game uses some anticheat that is preventing OBS from accessing it?

Well the thing is I streamed the game for 3 weeks with no problem.

It's a Steam game right? So it could update at any time.

Shouldn't Window Capture essentially void any anticheat mechanism though? Isn't it a lot less intrusive?

Some anti-cheats are really aggressive, blocking even Window Capture.

I have friends who stream the game using OBS and aren't having any problems.

Try resetting OBS:

• Close OBS.
• Click Start
• Click Run
• Type %AppData%\OBS
• Hit <ENTER>
• Empty that folder.
• Start OBS again. It will have reset completely.

Now set the scene up again exactly like it was the last time you knew it worked.

Did that several times with no results!

Is OBS freezing, or the game? The subject and post are a little ambiguous as to which one is freezing :)

 

[Morfos]

Just the source of Realm of the Mad God, every other source is good. The game itself is fine.

Just the source of Realm of the Mad God is freezing, all the other sources are good. The game itself is good.
