So do I need 32 bit version to stream Age of Empires 2? How can I get it?

The 32 bit version is the version inside the folder where you installed OBS. The 64 bit version is in a folder inside that.

It's possible with some virtual audio cable wizardry, but it's very hard to do. I tried it, got it to work once but it was so much hassle that it wasn't worth it.

You don't need the 32 bit version to stream AoE 2, 64 bit Game Capture covers all 32 bit games.

I'm streaming dota 2 fine on 720 @60fps, but I think I should be able to pull of 1080 @45fps... but have not been able to do so without massive lag and video stutter on viewer side.

I downloaded a program to test my ping to the twitch servers to decide the best one (and that's apparently Amsterdam).

Could anyone point me towards the most likely cause of the problem? And if it should be bitrate/server settings, which is my suspicion, could anyone suggest reasonable bitrate and buffer settings?

Specs:
i5-3570K clocked to 4,3GHz (with potential to go higher if necessary)
8GB RAM @ 1600MHz
Connection:
[image loading]

I've toyed around with quality settings ranging from 6 to 10, and bitrate 3000-4400 with buffer size 4000-12000 and not found any combination that works so far.

You should check CPU load on individual cores in game while streaming (and stress test by for example pulling camera around as fast as possible)

Changing resolution+FPS like that you're talking ~70% higher load on the CPU from encoder

This is a fantastic piece of software.

I used to stream with Xsplit at 720p/30fps, and I'd experience a *tiny* bit of game lag in 1v1. 4v4 would be nearly unplayable because of my system being taxed out.

Tried OBS at 720p/60fps, and it's smooth as butter. WAY easier to set up too as the UI is more minimalistic while providing the same options.

That's pretty far away...

Thanks, though.

Quick question, is there a way to capture a part of a window less than 32 pixels high?

I've set the size of the part to be 100*24 to get scrolling text captured but it always resets everything to be at least 32 pixels. I assume this is due to something with encoding but it necessitates a few quite dirty workarounds with partial overlap making changing anything once it's set up a lot more work than it has to be

I'm having trouble adjusting my settings to get smooth gameplay while streaming. I'm currently using settings that are way lower than the ones suggested by the estimator, but I still get some lag/network spikes each minute while streaming.

My current settings are using game capture:

1600x900 res
20 fps
1000 max bitrate
1000 buffer size
quality 7

My current set up is:

i5-2500k @ 3.3 GHz
GeForce GTX 570
14 Mb/s dl 4 Mb/s ul

What should I change to get a smoother streaming experience? Am I limited mostly by my hardware or my network? A detailed OBS log can be found in my post on their forums: http://obsproject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3252

Thanks!

Did you try different servers?

I used RICH's Jtvping to find the best server and am using that, should I try others too?

Actually probably not even related to your issue, dunno why i said that, just woke up o.0

probably some sort of connection (bandwidth) issue, like not having 4mbit up consistently (if it works at lower bitrates) or something like that

So i'm choosing between Xsplit and Obs...I gonna have a new computer soon so performence won't be an issue I guess. But it seems like Obs is really "smoother" performence wise etc.
Thing with obs is that it doesn't seem so user friendly?
Is it possible to stream with overlay with obs? I have tried even simple things as custom webcam resolutions and it gives me error messages...

So I have an Asus Xonar DG, and OBS can't pick up my sound from it (just SC2 sound). Actually in Windows Playback devices it thinks nothing is playing back when my music is running.

Does anyone know how to disable Teamspeak but enable game sound + music(grooveshark, winamp) while streaming?
I guess it has something to do with the stereo mix but i can't make it work
