Question / Help [Black Screen] Out of the Blue

[tsfbulldog]

Alright, so i've been streaming San Andreas Mulitplayer [SAMP] for a while. Today i wanted to stream, but i got a black screen, it wasn't showing my game with gamecapture, and yes i did have it selected on with the source. Its not even showing the SAMP Client, or the game. I've tried many things, re-installing the game, since i had some mods installed and didn't stream before, so i figured..hey maybe the mods are screwing the game and OBS. But nope, it didn't work. I've tried to re-install OBS itself, but that also didn't work out the way i wanted.

At first it didn't even stream ANY games, but then suddenly Heartstone & Infestation started working and i figured i could stream that, if i wanted to, but i don't. I'm a roleplayer in a SAMP server, so i want to stream San Andreas, since more guys of our community stream SAMP, and also with OBS. I'm really not sure what is causing this problem, but its hella annoying. I've even done virus scans, to see if anything was in the way, but couldn't figure out what could even be the problem of this.

I've been reading that [San Andreas] was a trouble maker for OBS a while ago, but this doesn't seem to be the case anymore, since i used to stream it, and many others stream the game. I really need some help here.

What exactly is "ASUS EAH6670 Series"? I've never seen that video device before.

Not entirely sure otherwise, very unusual for a desktop computer. Could be another program interfering. If you installed anything like fraps and such you may want to make sure it's not running, or anything with overlays like teamspeak/mumble should have their overlays disabled completely.

Thank you for the reply, and i don't have any other progams running. I've even restarted my computer and tried to run it of a fresh restart. Also don't have any progams running like fraps. I do have teamspeak running, but don't have any overlays that would be running.

I also find it wierd that other games do run like Heartstone and Infestation, but that San Andreas suddenly decided it doesn't want to run anymore with OBS. ASUS EAH6670 is my video card.

San Andreas is normally a directx 8 game, and game capture only does 9+ and opengl.

Alright, that would make sense, but why did it work fine before, and suddenly stopped working? that doesn't make any sense.

Btw, thanks for all the help so far!
