Streamlabs alternative: OBS Studio

September 28th, daylight

I started to get a little annoyed when I realized that I can't play the randomizer mod Biorand for Resident Evil games on my computer. Or I can't record my gameplay, which is the same thing. When Streamlabs doesn't recognize Biorand as a game.

So I thought I'd miss "September 28th, daylight" today!

There was already talk of getting my spouse to play for me, or playing on my spouse's computer.

 

 

Then I made the mistake of finally letting Streamlabs install an update. Big mistake. After that update, Streamlabs behaves every time I open it as if I were launching it for the first time. So I have to change all the settings every time. So the update was just an evil plan to force users to register/log in. I got pissed. Also, Streamlabs' gameplay recordings have started to be pretty annoyingly jerky.

Then I installed OBS Studio as an alternative, and started trying it out. It doesn't require any terrible adjustments to the recording window, it works automatically! Unfortunately, OBS doesn't recognize Biorand either... or so I thought. I changed the setting from game recording to window recording, and Biorand recording works!

AND... Unlike Streamlabs, gameplay recording is not jerky but smooth. So Streamlabs is going to the trash?

So maybe I'll get to play the beginning of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis today, September 28th, daylight. Then on September 29th, Resident Evil 2 in its entirety, and then the end of RE3.

I already thought I should get a new graphics card so I could record Biorand and get better gameplay video of F13.

And I also started thinking about how much I have paid to play F13? I didn't buy the game at all for the Playstation, just the couple of euros worth of DLCs. Okay, later I bought the disc version "as a souvenir" just to be safe. The Playstation pluses of the past few years have been mostly because of playing Friday. I bought the game and add-ons for the PC. The current Resurrected doesn't cost anything, of course.

If I had added the price of a new graphics card to this... And if I got a new graphics card, my current monitor wouldn't work with it either.
