Thread: (Windows 7) Broadcasts Black Screen w/ Cursor

I run dual monitors off my GTX470. I've never had issues streaming through XFIRE and recently installed the second monitor. Since then, XFIRE will broadcast as a black screen with my cursor shown unless I go into WoW's Options menu. It appears that the WoW windowed mode does not register the game as being the "focus" screen of the monitor so it does not broadcast any video. Opening the options menu forces this issue. When I go to full screen mode there is no broadcast either - it simply freezes on the options menu.

I updated to the latest NVIDIA graphics card driver set. When I tab between screens I briefly see the BROADCASTING message appear BEHIND the WoW screen, and it does not appear at the top of the WoW screen as it usually does.

Thought I'd also put in that XFire In-Game (the BROADCASTING message at the top) doesn't show inside the game.

I'll add in that other games (Portal, Portal 2) do not broadcast either. The same sort of error occurs.

Thanks for any feedback that can be provided. I've already uploaded my gaming rig.

Bumping since it left page 2. This is still happening.

Bumping. I can provide more information if needed.

Bumping.. still an issue.

reminkly,

It seems that your only option would be to disable the second monitor when playing games, as we do not support multiple monitors. It seems that XIG is being confused when two monitors are actively running.

Disabling a monitor when gaming is not a satisfactory solution. Is there no other solution? It strikes me that no matter what I do with my monitors, it's always broadcasting a black screen + mouse. I've switched monitor cables, switch main display but no dice whatever I do. Is there really no way to point XIG to the right monitor? The in-game windows all show up on the correct monitor as well as the mouse that's being broadcasted, but that's about it. Again, really no fix whatsoever?!?

I'll add multi-monitor support to our wishlist.

I'm having the same problems with broadcasting in World of Warcraft as reminkly, and I DO NOT have more than one monitor.

When I broadcast, it gets stuck on a still image. This image stays even if I restart the broadcast and my screen is showing something completely different! I can see my mouse cursor at all times, even if WoW is not focused.

I've tried Fullscreen, Fullscreen Windowed, Windowed, DX9, DX11. Nothing fixes the problem. The stuck image only changes if I change display modes, or enable/disable VSync. Then, it gets stuck on whatever was on screen when the change was made.

At no point does the "Broadcasting" message display at the top of the screen.

I have a GTX 570 with 295.51 beta drivers.
