Title: Twitch Stream for War2
Post by: tk[as] on December 24, 2014, 01:03:10 PM
I know a few players have done it ... I think I'm going to set one up as well.

Is it a difficult feat?

any advice/help would be appreciated.

Lance should make a tutorial and sticky it, his stream works perfectly.

i tried OBS and Xsplit and couldnt get either one of those to work... then moved on to Evolve and got to a point where i was streaming war2, but this is what was showing up in the stream:

So OBS is out of the question ... it won't even let me TRY to stream

I was able to Stream with EVOLVE but the colors were all screwed up (but only for war2.. i can stream everything else i tried just fine)... do you think the colors being screwed up in EVOLVE has something to do with the Directx 10? something else on my end? ... or something on EVOLVE's end???

The reason for the blackscreen is because war2 is so old, there are 3 methods that you can stream war2/broodwar with.

Then click on "Streaming in fullscreen using Xsplit + UScreenCapture" or
Streaming in fullscreen using FMLE + Camtasia" and use one of these methods.

so xsplit doesnt work because of this:  ---->   https://support.xsplit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=25566


and i dont really want to pay for xsplit just to see if maybe it will work for me.

ill try the 3rd method

violentcrimes was able to a year or so ago, but i talked to him and he said he somehow switched some settings and it doesnt work for him any more... guess he doesnt want to take the time to figure it out

i thought there was one or two others but cant think of who.

The problem here is that OBS requires a DirectX 10 video card and Intel HD cards are not going to be good enough for that.  So thats why it didnt work in OBS.  The reason you get a black screen with weird colors in Evolve is because you're not using UStreamCapture as the "capture device".  It's capturing directly from the video card and thus it doesnt have the correct directx color palets.  If you can use XSplit or Evolve and force it to use UStreamCapture, then in theory those recording apps should also work as well as OBS.  The trick is to get UStreamCapture working properly,  then any capture application should be able to record war2 correctly.

I was able to confirm that both Evolve AND Xsplit Broadcaster (not Xsplit gamecaster) work as expected when using UstreamCapture as the "capture device".  I would recommend giving XSplit "Broadcaster" a try first because it supposedly supports DX 9 where as XSplit gamecaster requires 10.x according to the "Minimum Requirements" tabs here:  https://www.xsplit.com/download (https://www.xsplit.com/download)  But if you have Evolve running already,  just go to this "Home->Preferences->Broadcasting" and at the bottom of that screen it should say "Device" and will be set to "Off" by default.  See if UscreenCapture is listed there.  If it is,  use it.  If it's not, then UScreenCapture hasnt been installed correctly yet.

how do you "force" evolve to use uscreencapture?

i tried xsplit previously and this was the problem i was running into:

 https://support.xsplit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=25566

the "no capture card detected"
Title: Re: Twitch Stream for War2
Post by: {Lance} on December 30, 2014, 03:49:22 PM
BTW,  UScreenCapture is a "Capture Card" sort of ;)  It's what you use if you DONT have a capture card.  Software recorders will see it as a physical "capture device" and treat it just like a Webcam or Capture Card.
