Bug Report Battlefield 3 Game Capture = black screen

xD4rkFire · Jun 21, 2013

Whenever I try to game capture Battlefield 3, game capture only attaches to the game some of the time. (50% of the time would be my guess). I've tried having OBS being run as an administrator and not along with trying both game capture hotkey and the application-based game capture but it still doesn't reliably capture my game. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get game capture to reliably capture BF3?

Here is my latest log

Make sure you have the game and OBS running on the same Video card. You will probably have to go into your Catalyst settings to make sure OBS is running on the ATI card.

xD4rkFire · Jun 22, 2013

I'm not entirely sure I'm following what you're trying to say. I went into my Catalyst Control Center and under

Gaming --> 3D Application Settings --> Add...--> I added obs.exe to the list.

dodgepong · Jun 22, 2013

You have 2 GPUs in your computer: the integrated Intel GPU and the Radeon 6800 Series card. Many computers are set up so that some programs run on the integrated GPU and some run on the higher-powered GPU. There should be a section of the Catalyst Control center that lets you select which card each program runs on by default. Make sure OBS is running on the ATI card.

xD4rkFire · Jun 22, 2013

But if I'm using QSV for OBS, shouldn't it be running on my integrated GPU?

dodgepong · Jun 22, 2013

OBS should be leveraging your iGPU, but not running on your iGPU.

xD4rkFire · Jun 22, 2013

In that case, I can't seem to find the section in Catalyst Control Center to make obs.exe run on my graphics card.

xD4rkFire · Jun 23, 2013

Anything? I still have no idea how to make OBS run on my GPU in AMD Catalyst Control Center.

dodgepong · Jun 23, 2013

Unfortunately I don't have an AMD card, so I can't help.

xD4rkFire · Jun 23, 2013

Can you explain how to do it on an NVIDIA card then? Maybe I can find it based on how someone would do it with an NVIDIA card.

dodgepong · Jun 23, 2013

I also only have one GPU, so I don't think my control panel has options for selecting which one to use. Look for something that lets you select a program and specify whether to use the "high power" GPU or not.
