so uh

i just installed windows on my upgraded PC build, and I was expecting my capture card to work, but NOPE. as it turns out, AverMedia actually ENDED SUPPORT for the capture card I have so it does not work properly on versions of windows higher than 1909. They will not be updating the drivers to fix it

great, i now have a useless capture card.

I'm gonna have to cancel my upcoming streams until I find a temporary workaround for this, until then, i'm going to have to buy a new capture card

i'm really fucking pissed off at avermedia right now

anyway would anyone be willing to donate me any money to buy a new capture card that isn't an avermedia one because fucking hell

i don't even know what capture card i can even get to replace this one, if anyone has any suggestions for a cheap one that can do 60fps 1080p capture and actually works on the current version of windows 10 please let me know

had two people suggest the Elgato HD60S, if there aren't any other reasonable options i'm gonna start a fundraiser so i can get my card replaced with this one

@Violet do be aware that the hd60s can only capture hdmi. their slightly older hd60 can be found on ebay, and it can do hdmi as well as component, composite, and s-video

@Felthry ergh that's a shame. I only have HDMI devices anyway but this is gonna be a huge drawback if I plan on doing retro console streaming in future

@Violet the HD60 is still perfectly functional last we streamed (which was a few months ago)

@Violet oh hang on i mixed things up, it's the game capture HD, not the HD60 that has the analog video support
-F

@Felthry I think i'll just stick to the HD60, i'd rather get a newer device than an older one just to be sure it lasts. If i ever need analogue video in future i'll probably hack up a solution
