BF4 crashes when streaming

Trying to use OBS to stream to twitch.tv.  Everytime I hit the stream on button, it crashes.

    Do you have any other software currently running that has an overlay function?

    I'd suggest to try a clean boot to make sure nothing else in running in the background that may be interfering: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

Glad to hear we figured out the culprit. Have fun playing & streaming 🙂

Now, I get major stutter when Origin broadcasting is enabled. Ugh.

    Try turning off v-sync (vertical sync).

    And some more general suggestions from the BF4 Troubleshooting Info:

    Lowering your Broadcast Resolution, your Picture Quality, or both can result in a better gameplay experience when broadcasting your online play through Twitch:

    • Launch Battlefield 4 and open Origin In-Game by pressing Shift and F1.
    • Select the Camera icon to open your Twitch menu and login to your account.
    • Select the Advanced Settings tab to find the Broadcast Resolution and Picture Quality settings.

    It is off.  It's a different kind of stuttering though.  Every few seconds it'll freeze for a few more seconds and the sound of a broken record player.  On the flip side, OBS works perfectly now!
