Does anyone have a good guide to setting up OBS for recording?

edit: I actually got shadowplay to work on windowed fullscreen, I never tried it since they changed it to "Share" and that apparently fixed my issue. I still want to setup OBS for versatility though.

What are you having problems with? The biggest issue for me was googling how to get rid of the "black screen bug" where the preview would just show a black screen but the sound would come through.

If that isn't an issue you should be able to boot the game and then alttab to obs and see the menus. To set up in the bottom left Scenes window Right click> add scene. Then next to that in the sources window Right click> add game capture. Go to your settings>video to change fps from 30. Settings>output chooses which drive to save videos to. Settings>stream will get your twitch linked, you have to go to your twitch control panel and get a stream key and enter it in OBS if you want to stream as well. I just record every game for the off chance something funny happens but usually just to figure out what I did wrong and how I died

30 fps videos are about 200mb each, 60fps are around 500mb. RIP ssd

Why the gently caress won't shadowplay let you bind push to talk to your mouse?

Also shadowplay for some reason melts buildings after the initial jump and fucks my game up. Soo many missed moments :(

I ended up just streaming to twitch and delete the games I dont care about. Shadowplay only does 20mins at a time too so you could miss good starts if you win and forget to hit save.

My issue with streaming to twitch is the sound gets off sync due to their variable frame rate, also it's pretty much 720P only that gets compressed and looks like garbage.

The only thing that works well for me is Shadowplay Instant Replay. I can save 5 minute chunks at my native res, 3440x1440 at 60FPS and that looks pretty drat good when I upload it to Youtube at 4k. Of course, you're talking 2GB for 5 minutes. OBS had a lot of problems with my higher resolution and monopolizes your RAM, something like 5GB+ to store 5 minutes for me. Shadowplay Instant Replay just writes to your SSD/HDD constantly.

Beagle isn't a bad streamer if you're looking to learn more about the game, he often lays out his reasoning and reviews his deaths to see where he went wrong. Not as action-packed as someone like Grimmz but you come away with a bit more knowledge.

The smoke is supposed to mean it just landed and help attract people to it. It has no bearing on its contents. I believe there was a bug earlier, making the crates smoke when they weren't supposed to, but I'm not sure if that's fixed.

Sometimes I wonder if shotguns are even worth using. This should have been a kill by me. I guess because I didn't hit him square on he survived?

Now that I look at it closer, he seems to be wearing a Tier 3 vest, which could explain his survival.

lol is this a joke? half your shot went into the wall and of the half that hit, probably a bunch went into his leg which does way less damage

I hit one guy with the double barrel straight to chest (both shots). He was coming upstairs and had nowhere to move. I died to his micro uzi too. Maybe uzi causes so much lag or something that uzi always wins? At least I've never lost a cqc fight with a uzi.

if you died immediately after your shots, he probably killed you before it updated on your client so your shots did nothing. it happens a lot since client side hit detection + game strictly prevents two players from killing each other by nulling all your bullets as soon as the server sees you're dead.

Hi. :v:

I was definitely wearing a level 3 vest, that left me with maybe 3% of my health left. I'm pretty sure you had a first aid kit on you though so that problem solved itself. If it's any consolation I've otherwise been doing pretty crappy all night.

also remember you can sort of check how much damage you did before you died if you've only been getting clean kills (which give 20 hit points per kill)

like in that video above, he did 85% damage to the other guy (17/20) despite missing half his shot so you can see shotguns are pretty nuts

Exactly, due to desync what you see on your screen is not necessarily what actually registered on the server.

If you hit someone in the face and see the blood spatter they should be dead, the fact that you're the one who died indicates that he actually killed you first. If it's early in the game and you haven't shot anyone else you can clearly see this is the case by checking out your 'damage given' stat, it's 20 damage to kill a guy from full health.

Edit: woosh I'm a slow poster.

This is a little counter-intuitive, but the S686 and S1897 are the only guns other than the AWM that will kill someone wearing a level 3 helmet in one headshot - so you actually are probably better off shooting upper body - head rather than center mass.

well, technically you're not wrong, since those shotguns do one-shot through level 3 helmet, but those shotguns also one-shot through level 3 vest so you can still aim for center mass

According to the chart I'm looking at, https://www.reddit.com/r/PUBATTLEGROUNDS/comments/63epn9/chart_of_damage_each_weapons_does_lethal_damage/, the shotgun is only guaranteed to kill with a body shot if the other person has no armor. I've definitely body shot people and seen people get body shot in videos without them dying.

nah shotgun (except saiga) is definitely one body shot kill on level 3 armor. that chart is bogus. it even says kar doesn't one headshot level 2 helmet which i'm sure everyone has experienced.

https://pubg.me/weapons/shotguns

25 dmg * 9 shots = 225 damage, minus 55% for level 3 body armor you get 101.5 damage

edit: also in the thread you linked, multiple people called the chart out as being wrong and posted a different chart that seems correct to me (matches my math above):

I like having a face of a person on the other side I can @, make funny comments and joke around with when I dont have time to play with friends. In the last month I've said something and gotten responses from The Game, the little grown up kid who used to be on MTV I'm spacing on, and brought up a concert I saw Murs at 10 years ago that he then remembered and talked about. Grimmmz responded twice to me about specific gun questions. Those interactions are what make streaming interesting for both sides.

It's fun watching their emotions in my opinion, basically. I could see how people wouldn't like that though!

That chart is INCREDIBLY wrong. I've heard the numbers on that chart are either from early on in the game's life or completely bogus bullshit. Either way, they have no relevance whatsoever to the game you're playing now.

1. You had no helmet on.
2. You only had a Tier-1 Vest.
3. Your initial shot accuracy was mostly on his backpack, I'd say about 20% of your crosshair spread was on his Tier-3 Vest area.
4. Relating to point 1, you took a direct head-shot after getting hit by the first bullet, before your 2nd shot ever went off. You died.

That just helps with vision. Seeing as how there's barrel collision - for lack of a better term - in this game, and you still hold your gun in your right hand even after pressing Q, you need to move out of cover further when peeking left than when peeking right. This is really only a problem in doorways, but PUBG is not like CS:GO in this regard, where you're fine as long as there's nothing in front of your crosshair.
