Bug Report Black screen only when using game capture mode.

[Proxen]

Hi there.

I've recently been having a problem with game capture mode. I've tried capturing several different games with the feature but none seem to work. The feature have worked before just fine but i think it stopped working either when OBS crashed one time or when i updated my graphic cards driveware. Is there anyway i can fix this?

Filelogs of the day the problem started in order of time first being the oldest last being the newest:

2 http://pastebin.com/fSNWqfs3
3 http://pastebin.com/RVfb5zRj
4 http://pastebin.com/54mCKZN2
5 http://pastebin.com/XrPHBWbG

Please tell me if I need to provide more information and what and i will do so.

Thanks
Proxen

Some games cannot be captured with game capture (older games mostly that use either directdraw or a version of directx that's 8 or below). What games are you trying to capture?

I'm trying to game capture WoW and LoL and I've done it before with both the games so that's not the problem :s

 

[Proxen]

Problem occured again -.- it worked for a few minutes then OBS crashed again and it stopped working again

OBS shouldn't crash because of it. If you get a crash you should always give me a crash log if possible. Crash means the entire application including user interface stops responding, or the 'oops, OBS has crashed!' dialog comes up. Could you be more specific on what you mean?

Also, I've heard of no other reports of WoW and LoL having issues so I'm curious as to what's really going on here

Well basically OBS works, with the game capture thing. Then after a few minutes of streaming OBS crashes and the "oops OBS crashed" thing comes up so I close OBS, then start it up again and then the game capture does not work. I close the program and open it again and game capture works for a few minutes then OBS crashes again and game capture stops working for good.

Game capture started working again after the newest patch and it worked for a few hours then it crashed and the same process of crashes and game capture stopped working again completely. And now a few days after it still doesn't work.

Sorry if I'm hard to understand, English is not my native language :)

To be precise, with regards to your first post in this thread -- Did you update your drivers or your firmware? There is a vital distinction.

In case you updated your drivers -- To which version? If you by chance or purposely installed Beta drivers you may wish to return to a stable release.

As an alternative solution or approach -- Enable Aero and try a Window Capture. Should give you the same performance as Game Capture.

Could you post the crash log?

 

[Proxen]

Okey don't really know when the crash happend in the logs but I've come closer to a fix and I recently noticed that the game capture actually shows a video even though it is SUPER small i can show you a printscreen of how it looks normally and how it looks when you stretch it to fit the screen and maybe that will make it easier for you to figure out a fix!

I will show you a printscreen of both my monitors to show you what I'm game capturing.

Printscreen of game capture normal size:

You can't use game capture on the LoL launcher. Use it on the game itself (League of Legends.exe).

(sorry about my english )
Im using window capture to record the lobby and run perfect. When i use game capture on the game (League of Leguend (TM) client ) i get a black screen. I try to record the same process on window mode with a window capture and run ok .
What can i do to fix my game capture mode ?

Windows 8
Nvidia GeForce 610M

You don't really need to use game capture if your game has a borderless window mode. Just make sure Aero is enabled, and you will get the same performance as Game Capture. Window Capture is generally more reliable, because it is much less invasive.

i used game capture to record League of Legend (TM) Client on full screen mode ..... in this case i get a black screen. But if i record League of Legend (TM) Client with window capture on windowed mode run perfet (just for test).
So How i can record League of Legend (TM) Client when i put on Full screen mode

I used game capture to record League of Legend (TM) Client on Win 7 and run perfet

 

[Kharay]

Just run League of Legends as a Borderless Window (sometimes also called a Fullscreen Window) and it will be fullscreen but still enabling you to Window Capture it.

nabukustor - viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5965 is what you want to read. You're getting a black screen because of your laptop -- you need to set OBS to run on the proper adapter to properly capture it.

[nabukustor]

If i have wrong my setup .... why run ok on windows mode when i use league of legend as a Borderless Window?

 

[CrazzyGod]

I have the Same Problem like nabukustor..
When i Start lol the Client and everything works perfekt!
When i Start the real game, and so it goes to the full screen modus, blackscreen..

The LoL Client and the actual LoL game are two different processes. You will have to have a separate capture for the game itself. Personally, I recommend using Window capture for the LoL Client and game capture for the actual game, since game capture on the client doesn't always work correctly.
