Bug Report Black Screen / Crashing on game capture

Hi all,

I have had a problem with OBS for a few versions now where the program just displays a black screen for software capture and crashes when I try to use game capture on starcraft.

I have DirectX version 11, and I checked my drivers for the most recent versions. I was running no security programs when I first encountered this issue, so they're likely not the problem but I have AVG and Spybot Search and Destroy installed now. Other streaming programs like ffsplit/xsplit work fine.

I have a third gen i7, a gt650M graphics, 2 monitors at 1080p ( one laptop, one external), a SDD, and external HDD, and I'm plugged into ethernet. I have windows 7 ( home edition I think? ), and windows update isn't asking me to install anything.

EDIT: Oh, I should mention that it used to work, and only broke after installing a more recent version.

Your version is out of date - please install 0.465a. Since you're on a laptop, make sure both OBS and your game are set to use the same GPU (NVIDIA ideally) - mixing GPUs can result in all kinds of bad things.

I installed latest, new crash log:

Went to NVIDIA Control panel and made sure everything was using GPU, but it didn't work still.

Changed everything to use integrated and it's working now though 0.o. I'm not sure what's up with that since sc2 is running on ultra at 25 FPS since that's the same as it does with the GPU.

Thanks for the help! I think I can probably mess around with the settings from here to make it work.
