In game issue (CS:GO) caused by livestreamer app #1111

Open ghost opened 9 years ago

ghost commented 9 years ago

Whenever I run livestreamer app to have twitch playing while playing CSGO I get in game problems. Player models become static and standing and don't run with the character and the hitboxes are off. I can aim at someone from 2-3 feet away in the face and nothing registers. Also, aside from my sound (shooting, running etc) and mic communication, all sound is disabled. Can not hear enemies walking or shooting etc. Odd issues I just thought I would point out. Otherwise, I have loved the app so far. Only had it a couple days now.

If you are running both applications at the same time and your internet connection is not fast enough, it may result in a higher latency / ping and that can cause lag. For someone who plays tactical online shooters you should actually know that.

My internet should be fine. I have 100mbps internet and my ping even with it streaming is 60 or lower, which is the norm for me. I stream netflix all the time and have never had an issue before. And, models becoming moving fixed objects in the game isn't a ping issue. I have also never heard of lag causing sound to completely disappear from a game.

No? What else should it be, if it's not a connection problem? If the game runs normal but all other players are not moving (like you describe it), it has definitely something to do with your latency / ping.

I'm not talking about the sound issues. That could be something else.

Have you tried playing a normal video in your media player while playing CS or does this only happen when running via livestreamer? I had some weird issues with games too when VLC was using DirectX/Direct3D/Direct2D for video output.

His own ingame sound is fine (he just can't hear the sounds from other players).

I still think it is a connection problem. However it has nothing to do with the Livestreamer application itself.

I was not talking about the sound issues. For me it was like DirectX glitched out rendering the game on one monitor and the vlc video output on the other one.

However I agree that this is most likely not caused by livestreamer itself.
