Guild Wars 2

I’m using OBS to try to stream on twitch. I’m on a MacBook Pro. I can’t seem to find the correct “Scaled Resolution” under my video settings in OBS because no matter what resolution I seem to choose, it won’t stream the full screen – mainly, the skill bar won’t show up on the stream. Anyone have a solution to this or know what scaled resolution I should be choosing in OBS?

goto preview stream then rightclick the video there are some settings in that area.

I don’t actually see a preview stream in OBS. Do you mean on Twitch? And if so, I don’t see any video settings that I can change…

its not on twitch its litteraly by rightclicking the video in obs when its either going or your in the preview stream mode

also in the settings you may need to change the resolution manually to your screen res it assumes 1920*1080 is the default ie 16:9 res but if your like me and have a more rare screen res such as 1440*900 or 16:10 it will cutoff bits

that’s strange…two things…It won’t allow me to right click the video (nothing happens or comes up when right clicking), and I can’t even find preview stream mode. Could this be because I’m on a Macbook?

could be i have not seen the mac client of obs though in the settings tab of obs you should still have the ability to change the resolution and being a mac you probably of something of large resolution or some such

also forgot ot ask are you playing windowed or full screen?

full screen. playing windowed on the macbook pro is horrible every option is way zoomed-in. the resolution on my macbook pro is 2560 × 1600

no matter what I choose for a scaled resolution, it cuts off the bottom of the display and puts my character in the bottom right corner of the screen (most of his body is also cut off). This is so annoying, I just want to stream!!!

Thanks for your help by the way.

Can you show a screenshot of what you’re looking at? I have no idea what you mean by scaled resolution.

In my OBS menu, all I see is this, where you can adjust the scale of the resolution to something more reasonable. Assuming it looks similar to what it does on my screen, set the base resolution to 2560×1600 and downscale it by 1.5x or 2x to stream ~1080P or ~720P video (using the “Resolution Downscale” dropdown box).

I attached a screen shot

Can you set it to scaled resolution 1280×800? It seems like it’s just cutting off part of the video, assuming that that box is the same as the downscaling box for Windows OBS.

Yes and I’ve tried 1280×800 it still cuts off a lot of the display. I can’t understand it.

And you’re capturing the whole game window/your whole screen?

yeah I mean it captures my complete desktop just fine, but when I run GW2 it cuts it off

What happens if you set GW2 to windowed fullscreen mode, then capture the entire monitor in OBS? Assuming you’re currently doing a window/game capture.

There’s no option for windowed fullscreen mode on the mac. I’ve played around with the windowed modes to no avail.

So even just capturing the entire monitor in windowed mode gives you the same issue?
