Doom Open Beta crashes with Xsplit Running

[DevilishBooster]

I, like so many other people, downloaded the open beta as soon as it was released. I'm a Twitch streamer so I was expecting to spend a very large chunk of my weekend playing the beta but 99% of the time the game crashes on launch. After hours of trying to get it to work on both Friday and Saturday, I eventually gave up and played some other games for my stream. Well, by a total fluke when I got up this morning and tried it, and it worked. Completely. After a little fiddling I discovered that if I have Xsplit Broadcaster running the game crashes on launch. If I open the game, Alt+Tab out, and then open Xsplit, as soon as I switch back to the game window the game crashes and won't relaunch. Has anyone else had this issue as well?

I know there were quite a number of people that were streaming the Beta to Twitch, and I doubt that they are all using OBS. I'm really bummed that I couldn't play the game this weekend and I hope that this bug is fixed for launch because I plan on streaming the game opening day.

Are you using full screen mode or windowed?

I dunno if Doom supports windowed mode tbh

Fullscreen. I wasn't going to mess with any settings like that in the Beta. I let the game determine what graphics settings to use and just let it be.

Eh, this might just be the time where you might as well fuck with the settings.

don't know how much this will help but i had trouble recording doom gameplay via shadowplay on my laptop.. 

When running the game i have it set to full screen (which is a requirement for laptop shadowplay to work) and still can't get it to record or broadcast anything, its working in other games so i'm pretty sure it isn't shadowplay. Maybe its a bug in the beta build stopping recording/broadcast functions?

 

anyway i hope you can figure it out.. i'd love to know whats up!

maybe its a signal to stop playing that garbage game.

Problem is that I can't play/stream anymore. I was planning on reorganizing my room for a better streaming/filming setup today, so I'm about to shut down my computer to start moving stuff.

Yeah, I think its somekind of bug in the game. I also posted the same thing on the Bethesda.net forum, so I'll see what they say.

Yeah, not helpful. If you're not interested in the game then just GTFO of the thread.
