Galileus Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 So, I just wanted to show NA to a friend using steam broadcast. Doesn't work, obviously, as the game is hidden to all people who doesn't own it. Is it possible and/or is there any interest in either making the game stream-able or public?

Flip Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 For now use Twitch. Get yourself OBS, read a tutorial and your good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galileus Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 I prefer Xsplit,l thank you very much, this is not the question at hand. At any rate, literally seconds ago got a "broadcasting enabled" pop-up, investigating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshTheFallen Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 You may have noticed that others can't see it when you are playing NA, this is due to NA not being fully released on steam yet. Usually, this is done in order to mask the game for others who must not know about a game yet, secret/test builds etc., in this case I don't know for sure why it is not visible yet, though I guess that it has something to do with the way the devs handle preorders atm, which is not through Steam yet. Anyway, in general this limitation is likely to also limit the Steam Broadcasting-module, otherwise it would be far too easy to leak a game that is meant to be under disclosure. However, the devs are working together with Valve at the moment to get the full game on Steam and into the Steam Early Access program, once that is done it is likely that broadcasting and the other functions that are still missing (Game Hub etc.) will be enabled aswell. All in all I think this will be resolved once the game fully gets on steam and steam store, and it probably will become visible for everyone once that happens.

Galileus Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Well, yeah, this is what I said in my first post ^^' Anyhow, steam saying broadcast is now on turns out to be a red herring. Doesn't work And just in case - I'm not making it so that they rush to my help and terrorize steam just to make it work I've posted it in case this is something that was overlooked and/or can be fixed with a flip of a switch. Anything more that than and sure, I agree, steam version will fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Sands Gaming Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I streamed the game for 16 hours yesterday and will do so for a majority of today, can always have him stop by... but yes as you said your post is abouty Steam which is not supporting broadcasting for unreleased games, when it comes to early access it should likely work.

Galileus Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Having him stop by would be kinda hard with few thousands kilometers between us We ended up on twitch, and are discussing possibility of either recording or streaming a podcast type discussions with some light games in the background, NA being a favorite on my end.

slik Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 You may invite to watch the game. Just run it, then open the list of your friends on Steam, click on the down-arrow to open the menu, and then click on the "Invite to Watch". But I'm not sure it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
