Raptr/Plays.TV/Twitch Crash w/ Win 10

from GalCiv3 Forums

Good Day Stardock,

Ever since upgrading to Windows 10 I have not been able to live stream the game through Raptr/Plays.TV/Twitch feature.  As soon as I have their feature enabled along with the option in game for Galactic Civilizations III, I start the game, gets to the splash screen, the game crashes.  I felt this wasn't an issue w/ Galactic Civilizations III and created a ticket w/ Plays.tv, however, they state their software is completely compatible with Windows 10 and if a game is crashing it's on the game developers side.

This worked fine with Windows 7 and in fact I can still boot in Windows 7 and get it to work that way.  Any suggestions would be helpful or even if you could point me in the right direction.

Thanks.

I can't speak to raptr+w10 specifically. Yet, we've had problems with 3rd party apps that inject themselves into our graphics processes. Without access to their code, it's not something we can fix (hence the game option to disable 3rd party hooks).

However, I know that some of our in-house streamers use OBS and xsplit in windows 10 for twitch streaming and don't have any problems. Is either of these an option for you?
