I haven't used OBS with this game yet, but if you're using the Game Capture mode, then try Window Capture instead. When I stream Elite: Dangerous I have to use the latter or else I get a black screen.

Thanks! Right now I'm just messing around with an Xbone pad, but I have a G27 on the way and I'm hella looking forward to dying but fancier. I thought this was a cool video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDC5b4YgNT0 A streamer guy plays Rally and has a really rough time. Then a professional Rally instructor—after playing for a bit—coaches the streamer through the stage and he does much better.

Day 1A: I drove a 60's Mini around Greece, taking advantage of the slow speed to get used to listening to my co-driver. I realized just in time what "don't cut" means, and finished the stage in one piece. Despite driving a slow car in third gear, my face was still  the whole time. Then I did Pikes Peak but fell off.I hadn't played a rally sim since the original Xbox (I forget if it was RBR or McRae 2) and forgot how insanely intense this poo poo is. Everybody should buy this game.

I can only recommend gradually easing yourself to the realism, because holy poo poo this game gets intensive. I started playing this back in May with a 360 pad and 3rd person. Then switched to dash cam. Then disabled the driving assists. The bought a wheel (cheap as dirt DFGT, but it's good enough). Then switched to manual sequential transmission. Now it's just about impossible to get bored of the game, I'm 200 hours in and still playing every day.

I'm loving how detailed the co-driver is in this. I remember that Xbox game I used to play having more simplified stuff. Like, what would be "very long medium left" in that game is "crest then left 4 tightens 2 don't cut" in this. Just fantastic. Can't wait to get my wheel. Does anybody else on a gamepad use the right stick as a shifter? The original Forza had that option and it was one of my favorite things about that game.

njsykora posted:Custom championship money is a known bug that should be fixed in the next update.  That said, the "Breakdown" screen still doesn't reflect that the reward multiplier also applies to that (pretty sure both in terms of bonuses for settings and repair costs) amount so those numbers don't directly add up anyway in Custom Championship unless you're matching the standard Championship specifications. Clarification edit: that is, if you added those up and multiplied them by the reward multiplier it showed when you made the Custom Championship, then it should work out (assuming you're doing a five event one, otherwise it'll be wrong according to the aforementioned bug getting fixed next patch).

Yo if you're getting disheartened by the top times in daily events, this might be why. Apparently there's quite a lot of cheating going on.

I started with full realism, no assists, H shift+clutch and struggled so hard at the start. But after playing the Abarth 131 for a while something just clicked. I finally managed to complete 4/5 events in a championship in 2nd/3rd place with it, got Monaco as my last event and on the 2nd stage... lost focus for a second, clipped a snow wall and flipped over the edge, knocking me down to 4th or 5th place to finish.  Still stuck in Open league  However it earned me enough money to get the (RHD at last) AWD Rs200! It just feels... right for me. How it behaves when I'm really pushing it just makes so much more sense. Placed first in my first two stages in Finland, then cooked it really badly and flew into a tree in fifth gear. But it felt so right while flying into that tree at warp speed. Has there been any word on upcoming cars? Specifically the Celica GT-Four?(Seen it mentioned as being in a list of cars the devs are planning, somewhere) I drive one in real life so I'm keen to see how quickly I would die if I actually took it onto a rally course.

The 2015 Polo is confirmed for 1.0, there's strong rumours about the i20 as well so they'll have most of the 2015 WRC lineup. Nothing's been said about any other old cars though. I want to see the 80s class expand a bit personally since compared to the other non-specialised classes (F2 and R4) it's the only one that's gonna only have 2 cars come 1.0. Granted one of those is the E30 and therefore nothing else is needed but still.

Still driving the 60's Mini with an Xbone pad. I'll gave the G27 on Wednesday, but tomorrow I'll get to play with the Logitech Driving Force GT that I'm buying my dad for Christmas (along with a PS3 and some racing titles). Can't wait to play this with a wheel. I entered a singleplayer multi-stage championship event and finished 5th overall, but I won my first stage  ! I'm still taking squares and tighter very cautiously and losing a bunch of speed, but everything else is getting much faster. I got into a flow on that victory stage where I was sliding through 3's at full speed with my nose to the inside, which felt hella badass. I'm about to try a 70's RWD for the first time, RIP.e: Driving the Stratos on a gamepad without assists is fun as hell. Shine fucked around with this message at 05:46 on Nov 30, 2015 |

Can't wait to play this with a wheel. Slow is fast, at those early difficulty settings the AI drivers aren't too exacting so if you can put together a clean stage you'll be in the top 3 most of the time. Especially with the 60s cars which are incredibly slow anyway. Also new weeklies are up, 2000s are in Wales and Group B 4WD are in a rainy Finland.

Have to decide if I should save up for a 2000 or get a rallycross car then, but money sure is easy once you've got your hands on a hillclimber. I don't do the whole custom championship thing, but one run on Professional feels like such easy money.

Why do rallycross cars feel miserable to drive? They feel really weak and sluggish, slide all over the place. And do I really need a wheel to take corners without either slowing down to almost halt or sliding out? Does everyone online have a wheel?They all get 2 seconds faster times than me. I hate this car, I hate rallycross Edit: Driving against the AI adds another part of misery. They drive on train tracks and push me out of the way at any chance they get.

It seemed to me like the rallycross cars' handling went to poo poo whenever they pushed out that big update for rallycross. They were nice and grippy like the other cars before then, but since then it's like driving on ice all of the time.

Rallycross cars are supposed to slide, because 90% of its appeal is watching sick drifts (bro) and dudes hitting each other. I've never had a problem with their handling, but I just don't really enjoy those races. Also the tracks aren't that interesting.

How do I drive rallycross properly with pad? Also as I said before AI cars are like on train tracks. They push you out of way way without any effort, in online people still push you out of the way but it also affects their course as well and I actually can return the favor. Edit: In Höljes Clubman starting from second row right side the car on the left always tries to ram me into the barrier only second after start.

It's loving ace when you manage to plant one of those fuckers in the wall though. Assholes have it coming. How is the online rallycross play though? In terms of netcode, stability and cheaters?

It sometimes crashes while loading next track for me (online only problem) but otherwise it's stable. there are bugs, but they are mostly visual like people having wrong car models for half a race and people having trashed cars at start when they're supposed to be pristine. Haven't seen cheaters, but I find it weird how people who drive all over the place much more than me are still somehow as fast than me.
