Question / Help Black Screen of death

Scott Murtha · May 21, 2014

Hello,

I just downloaded OBS, but I am having trouble with game capture. I am trying to capture DayZ. I tried setting OBS to my graphics card and various other tricks, but it wont work. I tried monitor capture and that works. I tried to use monitor capture and then open dayz and see if that would work but that didnt either. My graphics card drivers are up to date, and so is my direct X I believe. I dont know what else I can try.

Code:

I'm having the same issue. Everything else works except for my game capture. I've tried running it on both cards and even direct from my main card. Nothing.

Make sure you've followed the steps outlined at https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/laptop-black-screen-when-capturing-read-here-first.5965/

If you've already done them, go back and do them again just to be sure.

Lain · May 22, 2014

Definitely still using the wrong adapter in that log. You need to follow the instructions in the laptop thread

Scott Murtha · May 22, 2014

My computer isnt a laptop though.I have a all in one PC. Do I still need to follow laptop instructions?

Sapiens · May 22, 2014

Either that or select the correct video adapter under Settings > Video. You're running OBS on your Intel integrated GPU and your games on the Nvidia GPU. That won't work.
