Black screen on previously working Game Capture on all new Scenes

Hi,

I am afraid that I cannot post a log file for moment, and shall explain why not further down. Please humour me for a while.

I have one Scene that works well on OBS.
OBS is tied to the NVIDEA GPU in high performance mode

It has these sources stacked from top to bottom:
- Video capture / EMEET s900 web cam in 800x900.
- Game Capture / Java Minecraft - attached to high performance GPU NVIDIA - Capture specific window ( javaw.exe 1.21.* ).
- StreamElements overlays
- TEXT

It works flawlessly. it is stable.

Each time I add an additional Scene with a webcam Video Capture (Create New Source) and the Game Capture ( Duplicate source) all of the Game Capture sources display black in all Scenes. The Capture specific window application is greyed out and cannot be selected any more, even though it is running. Restarting the game does not change this.

To get it working again, I have got to delete the additional Scenes, re-launch OBS, change the Game Capture
from Capture Specifc Windows to Capture Fullscreen: Eventually it will start working again, but it take a few restarted of OBS for it to come back.

The last time I tried this was yesterday evening 45 mins before I a scheduled broadcast. I spent a good 30 mins trying to get the Game Capture back. It was unbelievably stressful: This is why there are no logs.

To get logs I will have to create a new user account , and set up OBS from scratch there, trigger the problem, and then send logs. But doing this will take a lot of time that I cannot fit inbetween other paid work.

Questions:

1. Can I export logs from the last 24 hours? I could then export these ( and obfuscate some home directory names )
2. Has anybody had this Game Capture black screen with a ESMEET web-cam happen to them before?
3. Is it wide to copy / duplicate/ or link the sources used in the original scene into the the new scene?
4. Should I create a new source from scratch each time, or is this a bad idea because it overloads the original source?
5. Or should I only use Duplicated sources in the new scences?

All the best!
DC.
