Known limitations:

• A bug in some Nvidia’s driver versions (incl 337.50 and 337.88) prevents some functions in XSplit Broadcaster from working on Laptops with GTX 8XXM GPUs. Nvidia has released updates to its drivers to resolve this problem. Drivers from 340.52 and up resolves this issue

• CPPCORE-399 - Screen capture issues with multi-GPU combination (Exclusive mode window capture is disabled on multi monitor systems where monitors are connected to separate GPU’s)

        See Notes on limitation.

• CPPCORE-875 - Virtual camera does not work with Lync/Skype for Business; Affects Windows 8.1/10
  Lync/Skype for Business cannot see XSplit Broadcaster because it does not support DirectShow capture sources. Some Microsoft applications only support native hardware driver and XSplit does not provide this yet.

• CPPCORE-902 - AMD VideoCodecEngine bitrate goes higher than the set bitrate
  This has been reported to AMD.

• Some Origin-enabled games (eg. Mirror’s Edge - DX9) may crash or freeze. A workaround for the moment is to disable Origin overlay by going to Origin client’s Application Settings -> Origin In Game -> Uncheck “Enable Origin In Game”

• XSplit Broadcaster may not be compatible with other similar applications that capture games running at the same time (i.e.: MSI Afterburner, Fraps).

• To resolve issues with MSI Afterburner, users may try either of the following: Run MSI Afterburner after XSplit Broadcaster, or set the "Application detection level" to “Low” in the RivaTuner properties.

• In DirectX11 games (for example World of Warcraft and Assassin's Creed 3), XSplit Broadcaster will not enter into game and cannot capture when Fraps is running. UPlay and Steam has the same problem, since Fraps prevents any other software from capturing in DX 11.

• XSplit Broadcaster is incompatible with some games using GameGuard for anti-cheat protection, hereunder Hero of the Obelisk and RF online. 

• On Enduro laptops running Win 7/8 (Laptops with Switchable graphics running Intel CPU/iGPU and also extra AMD dGPU), XSplit only supports power saving mode (running the program on the iGPU). This is due to the issue reported here. (This issue has persisted since 2013 and has only been corrected for Win 10)
  
  So if running AMD Enduro laptop on Win 7,8 your best options are:
  1. Set XSplit to run in power saving mode in the laptop settings, which means it will run on your intel GPU (not great for game capture if your games run on the AMD dGPU)
  2. Upgrade to Window 10, then you should be able to run XSplit with high performance mode.

• AMD Mantle Graphics API and Vulkan is not supported by GameSource

• Nahimic Audio Solution and ASUSTeK Sonic Suite may cause XSplit applications to freeze. These software inject themselves into processes and have been known to cause our application to freeze. As a workaround, it is advised to disable these software to avoid freezes in XSplit applications.
