Question / Help BioShock Infinite seems to "break" OBS, for lack of a better term

[Frenzy724]

The title says it all. Whenever I try to add a scene, and put BioShock Infinite in it as a Game Capture source, not only does that source go black, all my other game capture sources on other scenes go black too. It then fixes itself when I remove the scene with BioShock Infinite in it. Help, please? I've tried everything I could find, black screen on laptops, black screen on game capture, changing the game settings to borderless windowed, regular windowed, nothing seems to work. Sometimes I get a freezed image of what I was doing in BioShock but it just freezes the image in OBS and doesnt capture live footage. Please help!

- EDIT: I tried using XSplit Broadcaster, but it kept crashing whenever BioShock was loaded. I'm starting to think it may be an incompatibility between the game and any broadcasting software.

- EDIT 2: I've seen people on Twitch stream BioShock with OBS and have no problem, so it isn't the game. Unless I have a faulty installation.

Bioshock infinite does work fine, so I'm guessing there's some sort of conflicting program causing issues or something, or your computer is some sort of laptop and isn't set up all that correctly. Could you post a log from an attempt? https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/problem-make-sure-to-post-a-log-and-or-crash-dump-howto.97/

Last game capture log:
2014-08-24, 12:46:40: we're booting up:
12:46:40: CaptureThread: attached to process BioShockInfinite.exe
12:46:40: D3D9 Present
12:46:40: DXGI Present
12:46:40: (half life scientist) everything.. seems to be in order


Now, it actually worked today. Until I restarted the game. Then it went back to a black screen.

Order of things I did:
1. Start BioShock
2: Start OBS
3: Make a scene and all my sources (game, facecam, follower alert, chat, etc...)
4. Now at this point, everything is working (for some reason)
5. I restart the game, to make sure it is indeed, working.
6. Black screen for Game Capture. All other overlay is there (chat, facecam and stuff) but the game is naught but a black screen.
7. Close OBS, post this.

I guess the solution is to just not restart the game without restarting OBS. Thanks anyway though, if you do know a fix for this however please keep posting c:
