  • CPPCORE-1020 - Some Logitech camera devices can fail to render video on Windows 8.1/10

New in XSplit Gamecaster 2.7.1602.1927 (Mar 11, 2016)

  • Known limitations:
  • A bug in Nvidia’s driver (337.50 and 337.88) prevents XSplit Gamecaster’s camera and console mode functions from working on Laptops with some GTX 8XXM GPUs. Nvidia has released updates to its drivers to resolve this problem. Drivers from 340.52 and up resolves this issue.
  • Some Origin-enabled games (BattleField 3 and 4, Crysis 3, Titanfall) may crash or freeze. This is due to a conflict with the Origin Overlay. We are actively working with Origin to resolve this issue. A workaround for the moment is to disable Origin overlay by going to Origin client’s Application Settings -> Origin In Game -> Uncheck “Enable Origin In Game”
  • XSplit Gamecaster may not be compatible with other similar applications that capture games running at the same time (i.e.: MSI Afterburner, Fraps)
  • In DirectX 11 games (for example World of Warcraft and Assassin’s Creed 3), XSplit Gamecaster will not enter into game and cannot capture when Fraps is running. UPlay and Steam has the same problem, since Fraps prevents any other software from capturing.
  • XSplit Gamecaster is incompatible with some games using GameGuard for anti-cheat protection, hereunder Hero of the Obelisk and RF online. We have tried to contact INCA Internet (developers of GameGuard) but have received no response on this issue yet.
  • XSplit Gamecaster may not be able to capture games where MSI Afterburner is loaded. To make it work do either of these: Run MSI Afterburner after XSplit Gamecaster, or set the "Application detection level" to “Low” in the RivaTuner properties.
  • XSplit Gamecaster will run in low performance mode (legacy compatibility mode) on Windows 7/8/8.1 laptops using ATI Enduro switchable graphics (most modern laptops with AMD graphics card). We have to force this mode due to a bug in the AMD Enduro driver. (This issue has persisted since 2013 and can only be resolved by a driver update from AMD)
  • NOTE: The bug is fixed in AMD Windows 10 drivers, we are still unsure if AMD will fix the bug for Win 7/8
  • AMD Mantle Graphics API and DX12 is not supported by GameSource

New in XSplit Gamecaster 2.5.1507.3011 (Aug 5, 2015)

  • Supported operating systems:
  • Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10
  • For hardware and software requirements, see further details here:
  • https://www.xsplit.com/download
  • Internet connection:
  • Requires Internet connectivity with HTTP / HTTPS port 80/443 open and RTMP port 1935 open
  • For live streaming on lowest settings, a minimum upload speed of 500 kbps is required
  • Known limitations:
  • For a list of bugs being worked on see “Known Issues” section. For other general known limitations see list below.
  • A bug in Nvidia’s driver (337.50 and 337.88) prevents XSplit Gamecaster’s camera and console mode functions from working on Laptops with some GTX 8XXM GPUs. Nvidia has released updates to its drivers to resolve this problem. Drivers from 340.52 and up resolves this issue.
  • Some Origin-enabled games (BattleField 3 and 4, Crysis 3, Titanfall) may crash or freeze. This is due to a conflict with the Origin Overlay. We are actively working with Origin to resolve this issue. A workaround for the moment is to disable Origin overlay by going to Origin client’s Application Settings -> Origin In Game -> Uncheck “Enable Origin In Game”
  • XSplit Gamecaster may not be compatible with other similar applications that capture games running at the same time (i.e.: MSI Afterburner, Fraps)
  • In DirectX 11 games (for example World of Warcraft and Assassins Creed 3), XSplit Gamecaster will not enter into game and cannot capture when Fraps is running. UPlay and Steam has the same problem, since Fraps prevents any other software from capturing.
  • XSplit Gamecaster is incompatible with some games using GameGuard for anti-cheat protection, hereunder Hero of the Obelisk and RF online. We have tried to contact INCA Internet (developers of GameGuard) but have received no response on this issue yet.
  • XSplit Gamecaster may not be able to capture games where MSI Afterburner is loaded. To make it work do either of these: Run MSI Afterburner after XSplit Gamecaster, or set the "Application detection level" to “Low” in the RivaTuner properties.
  • XSplit Gamecaster will run in low performance mode (legacy compatibility mode) on laptops using ATI Enduro switchable graphics (most modern laptops with AMD graphics card). We have to force this mode due to a bug in the AMD Enduro driver. We are working with AMD for a resolution of the issue. No current ETA on a driver update to solve this issue

New in XSplit Gamecaster 2.2.1502.1740 (Mar 24, 2015)

  • Known limitations:
  • For a list of bugs being worked on see “Known Issues” section. For other general known limitations see list below.
  • A bug in Nvidia’s driver (337.50 and 337.88) prevents XSplit Gamecaster’s camera and console mode functions from working on Laptops with some GTX 8XXM GPUs. Nvidia has released updates to its drivers to resolve this problem. Drivers from 340.52 and up resolves this issue.
  • Some Origin-enabled games (BattleField 3 and 4, Crysis 3, Titanfall) may crash or freeze. This is due to a conflict with the Origin Overlay. We are actively working with Origin to resolve this issue. A workaround for the moment is to disable Origin overlay by going to Origin client’s Application Settings -> Origin In Game -> Uncheck “Enable Origin In Game”
  • XSplit Gamecaster may not be compatible with other similar applications that capture games running at the same time (i.e.: MSI Afterburner, Fraps)
  • In DirectX 11 games (for example World of Warcraft and Assassins Creed 3), XSplit Gamecaster will not enter into game and cannot capture when Fraps is running. UPlay and Steam has the same problem, since Fraps prevents any other software from capturing.
  • XSplit Gamecaster is incompatible with some games using GameGuard for anti-cheat protection, hereunder Hero of the Obelisk and RF online. We have tried to contact INCA Internet (developers of GameGuard) but have received no response on this issue yet.
  • XSplit Gamecaster may not be able to capture games where MSI Afterburner is loaded. To make it work do either of these: Run MSI Afterburner after XSplit Gamecaster, or set the "Application detection level" to “Low” in the RivaTuner properties.
  • XSplit Gamecaster will run in low performance mode (legacy compatibility mode) on laptops using ATI Enduro switchable graphics (most modern laptops with AMD graphics card). We have to force this mode due to a bug in the AMD Enduro driver. We are working with AMD for a resolution of the issue. No current ETA on a driver update to solve this issue.

New in XSplit Gamecaster 2.1.1412.1625 (Jan 13, 2015)

  • Known limitations:
  • For a list of bugs being worked on see “Known Issues” section. For other general known limitations see list below.
  • A bug in Nvidia’s driver (337.50 and 337.88) prevents XSplit Gamecaster’s camera and console mode functions from working on Laptops with some GTX 8XXM GPUs. Nvidia has released updates to its drivers to resolve this problem. Drivers from 340.52 and up resolves this issue.
  • Some Origin-enabled games (BattleField 3 and 4, Crysis 3, Titanfall) may crash or freeze. This seems to be due to a conflict with the Origin Overlay. We will do our best to get this issue resolved, but a workaround for the moment is to disable Origin overlay by going to Origin client’s Application Settings -> Origin In Game -> Uncheck “Enable Origin In Game”
  • XSplit Gamecaster may not be compatible with other similar applications that capture games running at the same time (i.e.: MSI Afterburner, Fraps)
  • In DirectX 11 games (for example World of Warcraft and Assassins Creed 3), XSplit Gamecaster will not enter into game and cannot capture when Fraps is running. UPlay and Steam has the same problem, since Fraps prevents any other software from capturing.
  • XSplit Gamecaster is incompatible with some games using GameGuard for anti-cheat protection, hereunder Hero of the Obelisk and RF online. We have tried to contact INCA Internet (developers of GameGuard) but have received no response on this issue yet.
  • XSplit Gamecaster may not be able to capture games where MSI Afterburner is loaded. To make it work do either of these: Run MSI Afterburner after XSplit Gamecaster, or set the "Application detection level" to “Low” in the RivaTuner properties.
  • XSplit Gamecaster will run in low performance mode (legacy compatibility mode) on laptops using ATI Enduro switchable graphics (most modern laptops with AMD graphics card). We have to force this mode due to a bug in the AMD Enduro driver. We are working with AMD for a resolution of the issue. No current ETA on a driver update to solve this issue.
