I recently got back into streaming Stardew Valley and noticed a pretty odd issue. I don't recall having this issue before because it would have driven me absolutely nuts, hence why I'm here now xD
Any time I'm streaming and have SV in fullscreen, my OBS preview freezes, and my bitrate drops to zero. It happens whether SV is fullscreen before I start the stream or if I put it in fullscreen after I start it. When I try to do anything in OBS at this point, it is unresponsive, and I have to force close OBS. It only happens while streaming, whether in bandwidth test mode or a live stream. Never when just playing and having OBS open. It will even do it when OBS isn't even capturing SV.
I have been able to do a lot of troubleshooting and have figured out it doesn't do it in windowed mode, and I can maximize the SV window and stream with no issues, but I don't think it should be that way.
