Question / Help Audio works fine, but video is not captured in Game Capture during recording. (Black screen)

[Suslik V]

I can't seem to get OBS Studio to work no matter what I've tried. Whereas downgrading in a sense has worked better.

Try to alt-tabbing few times post new log from that attempt and see is there any changes in the preview window? Also you can check Transform>Edit Tarnsform...>Size during capture, if values differ from your game resolution then you cannot capture. Did you see red bounding box of the 'Game Capture' in preview window? Like in this post: OBS Studio Game Capture Not Working At All?

Yeah, I fit it to screen, like you said, and was still getting a black screen. Even after recording it too.

Here's one of my latest log files:

Hmm, are you updated from previous OBS Studio build and reuse your old scenes?

Anyway, try to create new Scene Collections, add new 'Game Capture' (default settings) and make sure that game rendered dx11 (not dx12).

Was there another update to OBS Studio? From what I can recall, I haven't updated anything.

I tried what you said to do. I created a new game capture with default settings and all, and the renderer is Direct3D 11, not DirectX 11, I hope this isn't an issue. Capture was fit to screen. (There was a red border around the preview screen.) Still, the issue persists.

Here is my latest log file:

I mean, game may use dx12 (you need to force dx11 or dx10 or dx9).

Sometimes, when you update Studio, you need to recreate capture sources (delete old 'Game Capture' and add new 'Game Capture' source) or you may got black screen. If you just installed OBS Studio then you can skip this step.

Something doesn't allow Studio to get process name, error from your log:

14:06:01.005: [game-capture: 'Game Capture'] attempting to hook fullscreen process: unknown
14:06:01.005: [game-capture: 'Game Capture'] could not open process: (null)

this mean you cannot hook this application. Also, you may try to specify .exe file manually. Or try fr-043 demo, and see, can you capture it or not (full steps there: Game capture not working).

The most known difficulties: Odd Game Capture Black Screens (under the spoiler) still can take place. UWP (Metro/Windows store), DirectX 12 applications is not supported by 'Game Capture' in current OBS Studio build.
