Streaming software issues?
« on: May 22, 2024, 10:20:04 pm »
Anyone here able to confirm or deny that it's possible to stream OpenXCom (or more spec. OXCE FMP) using Streamlabs or OBS?

I've successfully streamed with Twitch Studio but it's going away and thought I'd try the others. To no success today. Seems neither recognize it as a valid game.

EDIT: Just managed to fix it, courtesy R1d0 on Discord. Seems you have to go into Video Options and select any display filter that ends in an asterisk. No clue why. This makes OBS recognize OXCE as a valid window for capture.

you can use normal "display/screen/window capture mode" to record openxcom "with or without asterisk"
you can use "game capture mode" to record openxcom "with asterisk"

No clue why.

simply because that's how capture software works... doesn't matter if it's OBS, Bandicam, or any other
