If you have any issues with the release that you don't with 24.0.3, please report them either on our Discord #beta-testing channel, or on our forum thread.

Release Candidate 2 Fixes

  • Fixed a crash that would happen when using the new capture method in window capture and running OBS as admin or when using an older version of Windows 10
  • Fixed a bug where the new capture method in window capture was selectable even when it was unavailable, such as when running on older Windows 10 versions
  • Fixed a bug where SRT output wasn't working properly
  • Fixed a bug when importing streamlabs scene collections with repeated names

New Features

  • Added the ability to capture Vulkan-based games with game capture. Big thanks to Ubisoft for the help! [Littlematth/jpark37/Jim]

    • Note: Currently may not work with Rainbow 6 Siege until the game is updated to support the new hook

  • Added a new capture method to window capture which allows capturing browsers, browser-based windows, and Microsoft Store (UWP) programs [jpark37]

    • By default, it will use "Automatic", which will use the normal method on most windows, and the new method on browsers, browser-based windows, and Microsoft Store (UWP) programs
    • The downside of the new method is that it can cause a bit of cursor lag, as well as a highlighted border around the captured window. The border itself does not get captured, however.
    • You can choose which capture method to use in window capture properties

  • Implemented browser plugin on Linux [bazukas/cg2121]

  • Added advanced scene collection importing (on the menu bar, Scene Collection -> Import) which allows you to import from other common streaming programs [Dillon]

  • Added Media source hotkeys to allow control of playback (stop/pause/play/restart) [cg2121]

    • For now, these are just hotkeys. User interface for this is also planned for future updates

  • Added the ability to drag and drop URLs to create browser sources (after displaying a confirmation prompt to ensure it was by intention) [WizardCM]

    • Developers can add an embed to their web pages that let them pre-specify parameters that automatically get set in the source when it's dragged into OBS. See this link for more details: https://wizardcm.github.io/OBS-Drag-Demo/

  • Added T-bar to studio mode [cg2121]

    • Note that this will not work while using a Stinger transition or the "Cut" transition

  • Added support for the SRT protocol (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Reliable_Transport) [boxerab]

    • This is available by choosing "Custom" under Stream settings > Service, then entering your srt:// path into the Server box.

  • Added a button grid mode to the scenes list, which can be toggled via right-clicking on the scenes list [Dillon]

  • Added ability to lock volume values of audio sources via their right-click context menu in the mixer [cg2121]

  • Added source icons to the source list that give a more visible indication of their function (can be disabled in the View menu) [cg2121]

  • Added support for cube LUT files in the LUT filter [jpark37]

  • Added an option to show all audio sources to advanced audio settings [exeldro]

  • Added an option to use percent rather than dB in advanced audio properties via right-clicking items in the window [cg2121]

  • Added a button to save replay buffer next to the replay buffer button (similar to the pause button on the recording button) [cg2121]

  • Added support for certain devices that can automatically rotate their camera output such as the Logitech StreamCam [Jim]

  • Added the ability to change the projector type to the projector's right-click context menu [cg2121]

  • Added the ability to copy/paste multiple selected sources [torresam]

  • Added an option to enable/disable BTTV and/or FFZ chat extensions when connecting your Twitch account in the stream section of settings [Rodney]

  • Added a system tray icon to show when the recording is paused [Programatic]

  • Added a "Custom Quantization Matrix" option to QSV encoder (available on Ice Lake or newer) [brittneysclark]

  • Added an option to toggle looping to the scroll filter [Dillon]

  • Added a "Fade to Black" option for quick transitions in studio mode [cg2121]

  • Added string specifiers to the Filename Formatting option in advanced settings which allows you to specify certain settings such as resolution and FPS to recording filenames [exeldro]

  • Added a hotkey to reset the stats window/panel [cg2121]

  • Video settings now shows aspect ratio of canvas and output resolutions [cg2121]

Changes/Tweaks

  • Increased default size of color source to the size of the canvas [cg2121]
  • Increased default size of text in text sources [cg2121]
  • Increased the number of files you can open with the image slideshow at once [Jim]
  • Added various minor performance improvements [jpark37]
  • The mask filter will now reload the mask automatically if the mask file has been modified [omkelderman]
  • The browser source now uses a monospace font for the custom CSS property [WizardCM]
  • Redesigned Decklink output UI by combining the start and stop buttons and highlighting them when the output is active. [cg2121]

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where window capture could select an unintended window when opening its properties [Jim/Dillon]
  • Fixed browser source not loading files with a hash character in the path [Dillon]

  • Fixed a crash on startup if a plugin saved whitespace to its config file (this primarily affected the Tuna plugin) [R1CH]
  • Fixed crash when no Decklink outputs are available, such as when the input is active at the same time [cg2121]
  • Fixed crash when when no Decklink output device is selected when the output is started [cg2121]
