I've asked OBS support in the Discord twice and no one responded. Can anyone help me?

Could anyone help with my black screen problem? Here is my current log: https://hastebin.com/iwekuboqay . Having a problem when I close out of a game, my Display capture goes black and sometimes Game capture too.
 
Your scenes are poorly organized.

Remove ALL display capture sources from any scene where you use game capture and remove the second game capture source.
 
Scenes are personal preference on organization of how the user wants, isn't it? Sources are more important than the scenes. Have I been wrong for 4 years? I never had the black screen problem a few updates ago and haven't changed anything when I did.
If I delete my display captures then OBS won't capture my main monitor.
What second game capture are you referring to?

When personal preference comes at a cost of the user actively generating conflicts by their organization method, it's not a good idea.
Multiple game capture sources within one scene COLLECTION can and will conflict with each other.
Display capture sources in the same scenes as game capture sources can and will cause MAJOR performance hits.

Just because a scene isn't active, it doesn't mean the sources in it aren't active.
 
One game capture, use it in either capture any fullscreen or hotkey based selection mode.
Have your display capture in a separate scene.

I deleted cause I was confusing myself I'll make the display capture a different scenes; but is there a way to transition from game capture scene to the display without pressing a hotkey?
 
I tinkered the auto scene switcher and decided not to do it. Now I'm running into another problem that was fine before that (other than these random crashes): display capture is capturing my games instead of game capture. It just stays black now.

set up an automatic scene switcher rule for it probably. Tools menu.

My OBS won't auto detect a game through game capture. I have to go to specific window and that is tedious. I'd like it to capture fullscreen every time but it doesn't.
