Hello!
I am new to the OBS software, and have found that whenever I try to use it (Game Capture, Window Capture, etc.), it comes up with a blackscreen. The mouse shows up just fine, and the audio also seems to be working. I am using an Acer 7750G-6645 laptop, with an Intel i5 processor and AMD Radeon HD 7670M video card. I am running these games through the Steam program.
I honestly cannot figure out the issue. I've used the automated log analyzer and the recommended settings generator, and they both check out. I've fiddled with the settings an innumerable amount of times, I am running everything as administrator, and I have also set everything to run on the AMD card through Catalyst Control Center. Help would be greatly appreciated!
My log while I'm at it:
And another one:
Again, help is appreciated. Thanks!
