LiveStream Procaster - Help!

Post a Reply

Khenra Netherlands885 Posts May 04 2010 04:14 GMT #1 Hello people, Lately I've been trying out LiveStream to stream my League of Legends games. There's a tool called Procaster which is supposed to be perfect for streaming games, so that's what I'm using. I ran into a number of problems along the way, and I can't find any help. On the Procaster website there is only praise of this product, and Google isn't much help either for my specific problems. The root of the problems might be this: I can only stream using 'Desktop' mode. The 'Game' mode, which I suppose should be used when streaming games, cannot be turned on while I am in game. It says: 'To begin game casting, please open a DirectX or OpenGL game and press CTRL+F1', even though I am already in a game and I am 100% sure League of Legends uses DirectX. So I thought I'd just stream using the Desktop mode, but I am having some problems anyway. I keep getting randomly alttabbed out of my game, because of Procaster messages of 'Connecting to LiveStream...'. It seems like the signal is not constant, and it has to reconnect every now and then to keep up the stream. I thought this might be related to quality, so I put the quality to 0% but it still happened. Then my last complaint is the GUI of my game 'flickering'. Strange thing is that only the GUI is flickering, not the background. This can clearly be seen in this video: Video If anyone has experience with Procaster and has an idea on how I could solve these problems, please help me out! Regards, -Khenra

Pretty much just make sure games are on after procaster, and always close procaster after streaming so you dont mix up these orders.

Khenra Netherlands885 Posts May 04 2010 23:57 GMT #5 Thanks for the comments. Unfortunately, none of them solved my problems. League of Legends cannot be played windowed mode, so that is out of the question. Restarting doesn't work, and having procaster open before the game starts does not work any magic either. Anyone else with a clue on what's going on?

Here's the version that worked for me: http://www.livestream.com/userguide/index.php/Procaster_Release#Version_10.0.103_of_Procaster
