Hello Everyone!

I hope everyone is having a good day today!! We totally beat that heatwave, haven't we?

This might be something very particular to me or a few people, but has anyone tried to stream those areas that aren't very dungeon like? I thought it would be great to show off to my fans, but it never comes across. :(

They keep saying my stream is broken when it isn't. I'm completely positive too!! I've checked all of my programs and the equipment!! The snail racing part of my stream works just fine, too, but everything is static or stops working for my stream for the Fragment.

Do you mean the root towns? Or that cathedral that opened up the other week?

[tot]

Like the cathedral and the other place that Hector mentioned in Vogel's post about the German poem.
The root towns are just fine.

[gluttoning]

Weird.

Does it display all wrong for you in the game, too? Or is it just broken on your stream?

[tot]

No. Everything inside of the game is fine.
I can move around and nothing seemed to be too off.
It was just my stream that was broken.

Like that creepy cathedral or some shit?

Maybe they put some stream blocking code for DRM or anti-spoiler stuff. Sounds fucking weird for an MMO, but this game is cracked to begin with, anyway. Wouldn't surprise me.

[tot]

Yes! That was one of the places that I wanted to show off.
But I suppose that would make sense, except when I've encountered this in other areas, things would be fine once I've cleared it.
It's just these special areas.

[aphonik]

Who knows what the whackjob devs around here are doing. Half-asleep at the wheel, probably.

[ Not very helpful, but- ]

Maybe it's just a stupid bug again. Try just screensharing instead of streaming and see what happens.

[tot]

I'm starting to wonder who is even at the wheel.
But I had the same issues when screensharing.
The screen wouldn't connect or display correctly no matter what I'd do.

It could be remains of what was wrong with those areas interfering with your stream.

[tot]

I hadn't considered that.
If that's the case then it wouldn't be anything that I spotted when I looked around the area.

[ganymed]

No...probably not.

Well, it can't hurt to keep checking if that ever changes, whenever a new one of those weird areas pops up.

[tot]

Yeah.
Maybe instead of doing public live streams I'll try something different.

You stumbled upon one of those weird areas on your own, right? That one time.
If you find another one, let me know, won't you?
I want to see what happens.
Alternatively if you ever want to just spam the area exploration - I'd like to come.

This is all really strange, Miss Uta. Sorry, I have nothing more to contribute here, other than things just seem stranger and stranger as we progress through the game...don't you think?

[tot]

You don't have to apologize, Kara.
But things have been getting strange around here, haven't they?
There's plenty of time left of the beta too.

[curvaceous]

There is. ... I wonder if this is all being done on purpose, given it's a beta...

Um, well...if you need anything, just message me. I can try to figure stuff out with you.

[tot]

It does seem kind of purposeful at times, doesn't it?
I've heard of introducing things as means of stress testing but this seems a bit odd.

But thank you so much Kara; I'll be sure do. The same goes for me as well.
I'd be happy to help you always.

Is it possible perhaps that there's a DMC-enforcement in place for certain areas? Like, the people who made the game don't want certain areas of the game to be streamed from the beta because it's considered a "spoiler" until after the beta period ends for players?

[tot]

Wow! You're pretty knowledgeable of this sort of thing, aren't you?
The weird thing is that it shows up just fine whenever I screencap or record it, but that would explain the issue that I run into when I'm exploring a new place.

[fatalitea]

I've heard of this sort of thing happening with some games, where companies will tell streaming sites to take down whatever videos of gameplay they don't want being shared and spread around too far yet. But this is admittedly the first I've heard of them being able to corrupt the footage in real time while streaming in order to enforce it...

...Then again, given how advanced the technology is and the immersion we are getting in this game, I suppose it shouldn't be that surprising that even doing this much might be considered child's play to them?

[userunfriendly]

[ Clearly after taking some time to read the rest: ]

If there's no difficulty with recording, then you could you not just upload the video you saved?

[tot]

Sure. I can do that.

[ cue a copyright friendly youtube link to a video of UTA just vibing and waving at the "camera" in the cathedral. just as she has written before, it's completely fine with no obvious issues. ]

[userunfriendly]

[ Oh, he didn't expect an actual link. Well... that's simpler. ]

Then it isn't copyright.

[ ...Odd. ]

un: anaido

[wowcool]

oh no :(

maybe its like. the game doesn't want you to show it off

[tot]

Maybe...
But why wouldn't the game want to let itself be seen?
Things are still in beta so there's plenty that still needs to be tested before it can be released but generating public interest is important, too.
All while getting permission to, of course.

[After reading the other responses and troubleshooting in this thread.....]

Some live events such as sports are now broadcast on a time-delay in order to cooperate with government restrictions on broadcasted content, in case of any "unforeseen occurrences".

[You know, like a nipple. Or a murder.]

Therefore, perhaps this is not about restricting spoiler content, but due to concerns about any unexpected occurrences within those areas and legal concerns it could cause for CC Corp. (Although strictly speaking, I imagine the fault would ultimately fall on you, the broadcaster. Seems a little silly, but such is corporate liability!)

That begs the question of just what sorts of unforeseen events they may be so concerned with, but, well. This game has its colorful share of bugs.
