limitations:
For a list of bugs being worked on see
Known
Issues section. For other general known
limitations see list below.
- The XSplit Program Group is also used by
XSplit Gamecaster 1.5. If you have any earlier version than XSplit Broadcaster
1.3.1401.0901 (released Jan 9, 2014) installed then un-installing such earlier
version will remove the XSplit Program Group. To prevent this issue users of
XSplit Broadcaster who plan to install XSplit Gamecaster is advised to update
to the latest version of XSplit Broadcaster 1.3.1401.0901 BEFORE
installing XSplit Gamecaster.
- XSplit Broadcaster may crash if other
similar applications that capture games are running at the same time (i.e.:
Action and FRAPS)
- XSplit Broadcaster is incompatible with
some games using GameGuard for anti-cheat protection, hereunder Hero of
Obelisk and RF online. We are in contact with INCA Internet (developers of
GameGuard) and expect the issue to be resolved shortly without changes to
XSplit Broadcaster.
- On 32 bit Windows systems XSplit
Broadcaster cannot capture some chinese version of Tencent published games
(herunder Chinese version Tencent published LoL)
- In DX 11 Games (for example Wow DX 11 and
Assassins Creed 3), XSplit Broadcaster cannot capture when Fraps is running.
Uplay and Steam overlay experience the same problem since Fraps in DX11
prevents any other hooks.
- XSplit Broadcaster cannot capture games that
has been hooked by MSI Afterburner. This only happens if MSI Afterburner/Riva
is set to use (OSD On Screen Display) and starts up before XSplit.
(Workaround: Turn off OSD in MSI Afterburner/Rivatuner and restart game,
XSplit and MSI Afterburner).
- XSplit Broadcaster does not allow to be run in
high performance mode on laptops using ATI Enduro switchable graphics (most
modern laptops with AMD graphics card). We have had to exclude high
performance mode (execution on the discrete GPU) due to a bug in AMD
enduro driver. We are working with AMD for a
resolution of the issue. No current ETA on a driver update to solve this
issue.
- Optimization on OpenGL game capture for ATI
desktop GPUs is disabled per default.(Function is currently unstable with
latest AMD drivers)
- Garena may be hooking the D3D functions of
XSplit Broadcaster causing XSplit Broadcaster to crash when Garena Messenger
is closed. After verification, we will work with Garena to resolve this issue
as soon as possible.
