Summary
The codesigning certificate used for OBS Studio will be updated soon as the old one is close to expiry. As part of this we will also have to switch the certificate used to sign the game capture hook, which may require updates to anti-cheat solutions that specifically exempt the current certificate.
Timeline
- 30.1 uses the old certificate, but builds using the new one are available for testing
- 30.2 will use a dual-signed game capture hook that contains both the old and new certificate (in that order)
- 31.0 will ship only with the new certificate

Testing Instructions
This section is intended for game and anti-cheat developers, not end users.
If you are using an off-the-shelf anti-cheat solution such as Easy Anti-Cheat or BattlEye you may check the table above for the current status. You should not have to take any further action if the configuration currently being used is already working. Please let us and your anti-cheat vendor know if you are running into problems.
If you wish to test your game/anti-cheat solution against the new certificate please follow the following steps:
- Download our 30.1.2 build that is signed with the new certificate
1.1. Installer (recommended)
1.2. Portable ZIP - Install/unzip the new build
2.1. (If not using the installer) Clear%PROGRAMDATA%\obs-studio-hook - Run the new build
3.1. (If not using the installer) Run the build with administrative permissions at least once - Try to capture a game
