Streaming Forza 4 with OBS is broken.

Hatez-Rednames · Jan 17, 2019

Old news but OBS game capture crashes Forza 4 and monitor capture performs like a 1995 dell even though my main build runs an i7 7700 with 32gb of ddr4 on x264 encoding. This is a Forza 4 specific issue, if I use the same settings in Assetto Corsa, Assetto
Corsa Competizione, Black Ops 4 or any other game I play this issue doesn't exist (both game and monitor capture work perfectly fine in other games). Fun fact, OBS NDI on the gaming pc, while not even encoding, OBS struggles to keep up even though the game
is running 80+ fps at all times, and none of my hardware is thermal throttling or being pushed anywhere near its limits.

system specs:

17 7700 @4.2 ghz

32gb DDR4 2666

Nvidia GTX 1060 6gb overclocked and stable @ 2k ghz

Samsung 970 evo NVME M.2 250gb boot drive

Samsung 860 evo 500gb SSD

2x 1tb dedicated HDD storage

I suggest you to report this issue at the Turn 10 support forums.

Hi. It usually depends on what you have for your PC hardwares. If you get the post powerful upgrades, no more lag should occur. And definitely never use OBS on laptop PCs.
