picturebutterfly,

Are you streaming in game mode or desktop mode?

realMYST - maybe because it is not opengl/directx game? Is there any chance to launch that game anyway? Thank you and best regards!

Game: Half-Life 2, Resident Evil 4 PC, Max Payne 2, Max Payne, Half-Life 1
Issue: The frame rate is constantly dropping below 10 FPS for no apparent reason. CPU usage is always above 80%, regardless of what is being streamed.
There shouldn't be a reason for the low frame rate since the in-game frame rate is above 25 FPS, which is where I have it set as max.

Video Settings:
Game Mode
Aspect ratio: 4:3; Resolution: 652 x 490
Target fps: 25
Target bitrate: 250 (and streaming bitrate always goes over for some reason)
Keyframe Intervals: 150

Max Payne 1 and 2 aren't OpenGL or DirectX, but D3D. This shouldn't be an exception either, since I was streaming those two in desktop mode. Same problem was occurring

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 x2 5600+, 2.8 GHz
RAM: 3 GB
Video Card: nVidia GeForce 6150 SE nForce 430 (I know that this is onboard graphics and therefore not that good, but it was able to produce above 17 FPS on all games mentioned in my post. I wouldn't think this would be the source of the problem if I'm getting good frame rate while running the game, and yet at the exact same time the stream is putting out a low frame rate.)
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit
Procaster version is 20.2.0v
Download: 19.65 Mbps
Upload: 0.97 Mbps

I am trying to stream from the game Aliens Vs Predators and every time I boot up the livestream it gets stuck on "Audio Grabbing" and crashes the game. I'm looking for ways to fix it but I haven't yet. It works fine on other games like World of Warcraft. I have tried reinstalling/repairing.
