General Questions / Answers

Hey Fellow Optishotters ! Use this thread for all of your General Questions you have about DancinDogg and your Optishot ⛳

[CatMan]

Great Question Maxxx, I am not really sure, It might have to do with the setting's you create, I don't think it has to do with what Tee your teeing from. On TPC Sawgrass the Pin is in a different location on day 1 than day 4, same middle tee's. It might have to do with the Green Speeds, just a theory.

I think it's the speed chosen as well. Unfortunately it puts them on the side of a steep hill when they're the fastest it seems. In my last email to DD I requested the ability to choose pin difficulties as future software improvements.

I created a Twitch account and planned on broadcasting my last round. I was unaware however that you have to use a broadcast software. Which broadcast software do you guys use?

I use XSpilt, but that is because that pretty much the only one that still supports WinXP. I believe that most prefers Open Broadcaster, since it is easy both to use and on the processor.
BTW. They are both free to use.

Thanks Thomas. I'll check XSplit out, because I myself am still using Vista. Thought that might be an issue.

I use Open Broadcaster. It is easy, light and does a lot. I also liked D3DGear. However it costs while OBS is free.

There is a free trial for D3DGear.

I would like to stream as well but I only have an old computer with 4g of Ram and the twitch specs suggest 8g of ram. I already tried to play a round with google hangouts and it really slowed down my fps and load times. Would twitch do the same without hangouts ? Cheers

Hey boys, I was thinking of another way to expand our tour. We can let the other beta testers know about our tour by "joining " one of their games and just typing in a message in the chat box with www.****************** . Then just play if you want or leave the game. If people are playing, they will see it . I wonder if we create a game , text our info about the tour then leave , would the message still be there for anyone else who joins in at a later time ? If anyone gets a chance to try it out , go for it and report back to the clan!

cheers

Good idea maxxxxxxxxxxx! The word has to be spread.... btw... I have not noticed any slowing down of fps with live twitch broadcasting in background. I only have 3G of RAM. I think it has more to do with video card specs...

Try OBS. It does the job for free. Further tips available for tweeking it if needed.

Thanks dude, when I grt a chance I'll try it .

So I downloaded obs and made a twitch account , now I have to set up my settings.......(lots of settings😭) I will follow the obs set up guidelines .Before I do is there anything special I have to do for Streaming optishot and is there any tricks to make it work well.
thanks

Stream under "game" that requires running obs as administrator. I've found this to be better than streaming "monitor". No need for 1080p stream. Downscale to 720p it will do fine. Bed time over here in Europe. If you have problems you can post here and I'll try and have a look in the morning. I have a huge lag on mine... like 15 sec. Anyone been able to get a smaller lag between real life and what comes out on twitch?

Sorry I am new to the system.

Can you create different users in the optishot game? If so, can you create an "****************** "user" and then create games with it? It would show X course created by onlinetour.net?
