Players & moderatorsRecord a short local test with the exact OBS scene and capture mode you plan to use, then review the playback for any overlay elements.
That matches what I saw—loader stayed offline until I rolled back one overlay toggle.
The guide recommends testing game capture and display capture separately, since capture methods and multi-monitor setups can behave differently.
Same question after the last client patch. Following for mod confirmation.
Check the live status banner before changing configs. Patch days can invalidate old presets.
Do not rely on the preview alone; review a saved recording from the same scene you intend to stream.
Solved on my end with the conservative defaults. Leaving this up in case someone else hits it.
Can confirm—worked after status went green again.
