100% CPU Usage, Above Recommended System Requirements

[mikestenger]

Hi,

I've tried using Livestream Procaster on a number of occasions, but whenever I do, it uses up my entire CPU which causes problems. Would use the webcaster, but it can't capture system audio and doesn't work with multiple audio streams.

Have made sure to close out all programs and any programs running in the background and experience the same thing. Can't seem to figure it out. My computer specs are as follows:

2.4GHZ Intel Core 2 Quad
6GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 with 896MB of RAM
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
30mb down/5mb up Internet connection

Thanks for your time,

-Mike

Mikestenger,

this release of Procaster is more CPU-intensive than the last. You might have a better experiencing streaming at Mobile Quality or Normal Quality only. Please let us know what you are trying to screencapture when this happens.

Which exact version of Procaster are you using? Have you tried the latest beta, Procaster 20.2.21?

If that hasn't helped then you could revert to the previous version of Procaster, 20.0.151. This version requires less resources from your system. Here is the link:
