Hi everybody!
Just installed OBS and faced probled same as in XSplit at first run. Yep, it is black screen. But it was cured by adding "enablere2" to shortcut. So xsplit works ok for me with both functions: game and screen capture. In OBS window (screen) capture works fine (but choosing window is actually very mislealing because it doesn't matter what you choose it always shows whole your desktop and processes you run tee-hee-hee, and that is awful :/ ) and putting pictures is okay, but adding game capture to a new/old scene is not working for me, all I see is black screen with or without picture I place here.
I am using v0.51b, and tried 51.01 (that one viewtopic.php?f=20&t=3658) they are both not working for me but I found few probably interesting bugs.
-With 0.51b I can run xsplit only once with game capturing. Run order: game > xsplit > OBS. In that order I can have game captured once in xsplit. After I close both streaming progs or just xsplit next re-opening of xsplit gives me same black screen on game capturing and normal desktop capturing. Running obs first had no effect.
-With 51.01 I had black screens in both progs .. um lets say by default from the very first run :) But furthermore after checking my stream online with same pic as before and same quality options as before (mine are 720p, quality 8, bitrate 3000) both programs showed same quality drop on twitch.tv in my browser. Both of 'em had "best" instead of "720p" as before. And these were two separate tests, not two progs streaming at once.
-Last one occured when I tried to install 51.01 over 0.51b manually since it has no installer. Only two *.dll files were fighting back my overwriting process lol. These are GraphicsCaptureHook64.dll and GraphicsCaptureHook.dll , ofcourse at first I checked OBS to be closed, but it happened again, I closed everything that could possibly use that *.dll as I thought. Game was closed, all messengers got closed, browser closed but nothing helps. In my case to install 51.01 over 0.51b OR 0.51b over 51.01 I need to reboot my computer and be sure not to run OBS before installing that stuff.
Here is my last log:
PS. I'm using notebook and I have 2 video cards, dunno why but in OBS I can not see second one. Videocard is AMD Radeon 6700M. Unforturantely I have no idea how to check which of cards is working right now and I can't switch between these cards as I wish. Apparently it switches automaticaly during gaming but I don't know that. Year ago tried to find any soft and I didn't made it. People say I can force my PC to run only on radeon in BIOS, but there must be as easier way. Thats all. Thanks.
