Livestream/DXTory can't hook

[Pyrii]

It seems that Valve have made it so applications can't hook legitimately into the DX layer to capture the buffer and/or add overlays. Of course the game loads the steam overlay itself so that's why that works still.

Can you fix it Valve to allow us to capture or stream video again? Don't be mean ):

Yes this is an unexpected issue. I had planned on recording day1 gameplay on my server lol

[Pyrii]

Desktop capture really borks the game up badly, I rubberband all over and the whole game just sort of lurches aver half a second. So this is unplayable if you want to stream/capture.

And FRAPS is not an option, because it's expensive and crap. Sides, I have DXTory.

I just tested the APP_INIT method and even that doesn't work, it seems Valve have gone out of their way to block video making with this release. The built-in replay feature is appaulling enough already as you can't record whole games, only single lives.

Looks like the mumble overlay isn't working anymore either

[Pyrii]

Bump!

Bump No.2 Still looking for a fix to this problem

[MarsPhoenix]

I'm pretty sure it was unintentional, because there's no reason for Valve to just block such things. But yes, I am also having these issues and really want an answer or a fix.

I had the same issue after the update. Add the following to your launch options and it'll work just fine:

-nod3d9ex

Great if it works, but this is likely to reduce the quality/performance of the game. Hopefully they fix the bug with using DX9Ex

Just noticed on the DXTory website:

ver2.0.111 (2012/02/09)
FIX: The problem of OpenGL on specific conditions.
ADD: The overwrite detection function of a hook.
ADD: DirectX9Ex support.

Time to update and stop using 2.0.109 :3

EDIT: Yep, latest version detects the game fine.

For livestream, well, you're stuck with the -nod3d9ex tag

Thank you so much for this.
