Black screen in Display/Monitor capture!

Hi! I recently switched from Windows to Linux and used OBS to record with Replay for in-game moments. Adding the Display capture works fine for as long OBS is the active window, but once I shift to another window it's all black in the recording. It's the same if I move OBs to the second monitor and have the game active on my primary, it's just black. I tried switching from Wayland to X11 but didn't help, so I'm trying here.

Try if switching to Wayland helps. Pipewire capture on x11 may have it quirks, but it solely depends on the DE's implementation.

Okay this is a bit unusual for me but here's the gist: I'm using Monitor/Display capture with PipeWire (no idea what that means) and for whatever reason all games I've tested work but not with Wh40K Darktide - but if I use (XSHM) Display capture it captures the game but is INCREDIBLY stuttery (both in-game and in Gnome).
