Frequently Asked Questions

How do I connect to ChallAcc?

Once you’ve signed up to a tier on the website, all you need to do is create a browser source pointing to challacc.com/overlay. If you’re a Gold or Diamond Supporter, you’ll also get access to the beta version via challacc.com/beta.

What is the difference between challacc.net/overlay and challacc.net/beta?

The main difference is that Overlay is considered stable. While the Beta may have all the new bells and whistles, it is less tested.

I want the CAP Dungeon on my account. How do I get access to it?

The CAP Dungeon is a big earner for a lot of ChallAcc streamers, but it’s a Gold and Diamond only feature.

I keep typing in !caso <name> or !screen <name> and it's not working! What's going on?

As per the note at the top of the command list, you don’t actually type in the “<” or the “>”. They’re only there to highlight the parts you actually need to customise. For example, “!caso challacc” or “!screen dewinged_moth”, not “!caso <challacc>”.

How do I set up a giveaway? It's not working!

Make sure you set up both a !prize and a !word that people need to type in to enter.

Example:
!prize $5 Steam code
!word steam

The giveaway should then be active. Test using !giveaway.

How do I earn more CAPS?

You can not earn CAPS in your own channel. Even if you speak a lot, or play your own minigames, so long as you’re on you own channel, unfortunately it doesn’t count.

If you want to earn CAPS, you will need to either set up items for sale in your ChallAcc store and get people to buy them with CAPS, or simply visit other ChallAcc users and get chatting or playing their minigames.

The higher their tier, the more CAPS you will earn! For example, speaking in a Gold or Diamond channel will earn you more CAPS than speaking in a Silver channel. Speaking in a Free channel will not earn you any CAPS.

Finally, you can earn CAPS by subscribing or donating bits to other Gold or Diamond channels and entering their CAP Dungeon. This is the fastest way of earning CAPS, and will also show your support to other streamers!

Subscribers will earn twice as many CAPS in a ChallAcc channel!

Please note, viewers in free tier channels will not earn CAPS by chatting.

If you want to find users that are currently using ChallAcc, visit the home page!

What is the difference between a free user, Silver, Gold, or Diamond Supporter?

• Free users have limited access to ChallAcc’s minigames, do not earn CAPS for signing in, and are limited in the tools they can use. Viewers in free channels do not earn CAPS for chatting

• Silver Supporters typically have full access to everything in ChallAcc but have delayed access to new features trialed in the beta version and no access to the companion app

• Gold Supporters have access to ChallAcc’s beta program, and typically have early access to new features. They and their viewers also have full access to the companion app

• Diamond Supporters have the same access as Gold Supporters but additionally have a custom avatar in the ChallAcc Dungeon, a custom Bee in Buzzy Bees, as well as new avatars in future minigames

I have a personal request for ChallAcc that's only for my channel. Can you do it for me?

Unfortunately, our time and resources are limited. ChallAcc is designed to be used for anyone and everyone. If you have an idea, we can put it in if it will benefit everyone.

I keep getting an error message that says "Software Update Needed", how do I get it to work?

ChallAcc uses WebGL (Hardware acceleration) to help speed everything up. This is a modern piece of technology that most (if not all) current browsers use.

In some cases, OBS has this turned off by default. You can turn it on via Settings > Advanced > Sources – Enable Browser Source Hardware Acceleration.

Some people are asking ChallAcc questions or requesting their CAPS, and it's not responding to them. What's up with that?

There are usually two issues with this… Either you don’t have the overlay turned on or you haven’t set ChallAcc up as a VIP or a Mod. Twitch blocks people from speaking too often, and bots are regularly mistaken for spam.

I keep playing the games in my channel, but I'm not earning any CAPS! What's up with that?

Although you can spend CAPS in your own channel, you cannot earn them. Some games, such as races, allow you to enter. The bot even gives you a cheeky wink to let you know that it’s not taking you seriously.

Streamers play games in their own streams to demonstrate how to play the games and encourage viewers to play them.

"OBS keeps downloading the wrong version of ChallAcc!!!" or "OBS won't automatically load ChallAcc!!!"

In most circumstances regarding this, unfortunately our hands are tied. ChallAcc is designed using the latest browser technology, but OBS’s Browser plugin is somewhat outdated compared to what it should be able to provide.

For some reason, they are still using version 75 of Chromium, even though we’re approaching version 100.
It creates several problems for us, however, one of the main concerns is that their refresh cache button doesn’t actually work.
If you want to clear the cache out, and make sure it’s done right, you’ll have to do it manually!

Please read through everything below first!

Navigate to the following folder on your system:
C:\Users<YOUR NAME>\AppData\Roaming\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser

Keep in mind, the <YOUR NAME> is your actual name… for example, mine is: C:\Users\Andy\AppData\Roaming\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser

Also keep in mind that your file location may be stored somewhere different.

In any case, once inside the folder, you’ll need to delete the following folders, but FIRST make sure you CLOSE OBS!!!
Once closed, delete:
Cache
Code Cache
and
GPUCache

If this doesn’t work, you could simply delete the entire obs-browser folder, as OBS will recreate it when you open it up, but these are the only ones that need to be deleted. However, keep in mind that if you delete this folder, you’ll also be deleting the Local Storage folder. This is where your ChallAcc login and quotes are stored. If you delete this, you’ll have to log back in again, and will lose all of your quotes (However, we’ll be moving this to the cloud in the near future). If you’re using StreamElements, it’ll ask you to log back in.

Once done, reopen OBS and with any luck it will load up ChallAcc correctly.
