OBS Issue with DCS 1.5

[Lennoxonnell]

Unsure if this happens to anyone else, but when I'm at the menu for DCS, my stream FPS will go down to anywhere from 1-10 FPS, but ONLY for the stream. My game FPS is unaffected. Unsure what is causing the issue, but here is a video example of what is happening:

EDIT: Solution to the problem is to hit ALT + ENTER, putting the game in fullscreen mode!

Clearly the DCS gods are punishing you for abandoning DCS for CS.

Your issue looks the same as: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=147787

 

Only FPS problems in the main menu, no problems in the sim. If you read the thread and can confirm, maybe a moderator could merge the threads.

Also OBS turns off crossfire when using it to record or stream.

UPDATE: Problem is FIXED by hitting ALT + ENTER to put the game in fullscreen mode (it runs borderless by default)

You can change the Mainscreen by clicking on a module icon and choose wall paper which will disable the 3D Rendering background.

For me alt enter will not engage 2nd GPU if using OBS.

OBS Uses hardware encoding, so it likely blocks XFire from running.

 

Even when recording outside of games, OBS always used my 2nd GPU to encode.
