Regarding game capture: I've been using it since it first came out on OBS, it's way better than dxtory performance wise and I never had any problems with it streaming fullscreen SC2.

Hey guys, I can finally get an Internet package that has better than 1mbps for upload. From a streaming with OBS perspective, is 2mbps enough to stream in 720P with good quality? This is from a pure streaming perspective, and not including other factors such as playing cross servers, which I'd love to do but is too laggy to do. I think if 25/2 isn't sufficient, then I might as well get 45/4 due to the following pricing:

Right now I can upgrade from 28/1 for $47 + tax to 25/2, 35/3, 45/4, or 150/10 for $40, $50, $53, and $85 respectively.

There's no random limit to worry about, it will just look better with more bitrate

2mbits is perfectly acceptable for a 720p60/1080p30 stream, though i would look into if you are going to be paying for 2mbits, actually recieving 1.7 or something, and then having to cut off a bit to dedicate to game, voice chat etc.

I have quite a strange problem that I've tried to google and search for solutions, but to no avail.

Only recently, when I try to use game capture for SC2, I only get a black screen with my mouse cursor showing. Nothing else. It's only began happening since yesterday, too. I've reinstalled OBS twice, it's the latest version, and I'm running it in admin. My SC2 is on windowed fullscreen as well. Anyone have any clue that could be going on?

That happened to me when streaming bioshock. I deleted the scene and remade it and it worked fine after that, give it a try

Sometimes I've found that by simply unchecking and rechecking the Game Capture option it fixes itself.

Have you checked the Twitch channel or the local file output?

Tried uninstalling any anti-virus / security software and reinstalling OBS?

You can try, a lot of anti viruses are pretty hard to properly disable though unless you really go through all the options.

Ok after trying a whole bunch of shit I got it to work. I'm not exactly sure WHY it started working again but this is what I did before it started working:

I uninstalled obs and I deleted the OBS folder in the AppData (C:\Users\Accountname\AppData\Roaming\OBS) now this will get rid of your settings and stuff but that shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to remake.

After that I redownloaded and reinstalled OBS and redownloaded the plugins and stuff and clicked "Launch OBS." The first thing I did then was to test the gamecapture and see if it worked. I got a black screen but my mouse was visisble (and showed a sc2 mouse cursor). After that, I went to the OBS settings -> Video and changed the graphics card from Integrated to my NVIDIA graphics card. Then, I retried the gamecapture and all that showed up was a black screen (no mouse this time). After that I closed OBS, reopened it and when I tried it again, it worked for whatever reason.

Now I've done this exact thing before (uninstalling obs and deleting the appdata obs folder), but before I did not have my NVIDIA settings to open OBS with my NVIDIA graphics card instead of my integrated graphics card, so I would suggest you do that first before you try reinstalling.
