Question / Help black screen using game capture for full screen

[unnqca]

i posted a long thread but i guess it got deleted? it had all my problems written out... log file: https://obsproject.com/logs/wEClGA8tbQaEYKuq

I need to stream my game in full screen, but it wont work, i get black screen using game capture or window capture or display capture. I think its due to easy Anti Cheat, as i can stream fine when my game launches with Battleye Anti cheat. unfortunately, the games i play use EasyAntiCheat.

someone please help me fix this, i've tried everything from reinstalling obs to changing my encoder to using different sources... if you're a mod and want to delete this thread like my last one let me know why and I'll fix the post.

I'm having the same problem with Apex Legends (which looks like what you're trying to capture). I captured my log with --verbose which gives a bit more info:

Part that seems relevant:

04:36:50.394: [game-capture: 'Game Capture'] attempting to hook fullscreen process: r5apex.exe
04:36:50.396: [game-capture: 'Game Capture'] existing hook found, signaling process: (null)
04:36:50.396: [game-capture: 'Game Capture'] map id: CaptureHook_HookInfo684
04:36:51.461: [game-capture: 'Game Capture'] capture stopped

(this repeats)

I'm not an OBS dev or anything but signaling a null process seems wrong?

Game is in full screen exclusive mode, and game capture just gets a black screen. OBS is running as Admin. OBS captures other full screen apps just fine such as Overwatch (dx11) and SC2 (dx9). I'm not on a laptop, and only have one graphics device. If I should make my own post instead of adding to this one just let me know.

I have had it work once randomly, but haven't been able to reproduce it.
