Why is my game crashing?
Boom does not interfere in ANY way with the game. It only creates replays off your live stream.
Voice command is not working, why is that?
If you insert or removes headphone after you start BoomReplay, game sound and voice command will not work (For example: Although you turn on "Record with game sound", generated video still has no sound). It requires you to plug-in a headphone and microphone before you open BoomReplay and the game in order to record game sound and use voice command.
Why do I need the BoomTVmod?
This added feature allows you to have a bot do the work for you. It posts the link to the replay after it finishes loading onto the Boom.tv website.
Note: Make sure BoomTVmod has mod in your channel.
Is there a limit to how many replay recordings I can make?
