Hey guys,
I just stumbeled upon this piece of software yesterday. Now i tried to record some footage in All Points Bulletin: Reloaded.
I added the scenes, added the game as source via "Game Capture".
When pressing the "Start Stream Preview"-button, I just expierience a black screen. But the sound is captured and in a test-video it was recorded.
My game is running in window-mode, aero is on.
Do you have any idea what could be the problem? :)

Game Capture doesn't work on all games, unfortunately. It's the quickest capture method, but it's still a work in progress.
Window Capture mode is only slightly slower if you have Aero on (apparently window-cap can use the graphics card hardware acceleration that Aero takes advantage of). Aero off is slower for window capture mode.

Monitor capture is the slowest and should not be used if at all possible. If you MUST use monitor capture, turn Aero off (no hardware accel, and the extra load from Aero will just slow things down more). Not related to the OP's question, but included here for completeness and a reminder to do not use monitor capture if at all possible.

I know some people who stream APB:R with OBS.. so i don't see why it won't work for me. But thanks for you help anyways =)

This was the latest logfile.

I have one more with about 400kB, ill give you this one too, if you need to see it.

I do have multiple GPUs, but already set both, OBS and the game, to using the same one.

*edit: I tried both, the 32 and the 64 bit version.
