Alt1 freezes game capture in OBS

I'm able to capture NXT normally with game capture using OBS with no problems whatsoever. As soon as I open Alt1, the NXT on OBS freezes, and makes it so I have to restart NXT & close Alt1 just for my client to work again in OBS.

I've reported it to Jagex, and Mod Dolan directed me here

Re: Alt1 freezes game capture in OBS

I got a partial fix ready for this with the next alt1 update which is getting really close. However i got some uni deadlines next week so the update will probably be the week after.

Right now OBS will work fine if you use directx or desktop capture, however i know those are not available for everyone. Also, once this bug happens you can only reset it by restarting the rs client.

More technical explanation:
Alt1 uses OBS' code for opengl capture which means that right now both programs are flawed. The first program to start capturing will basically kick any others out every 5 seconds or so. After this update the Alt1 version will no longer do this, however if you start OBS before Alt1 it will still kick Alt1 out.
