I'm trying to stream DayZ (arma 2 mod) with the game capture option, but I'm getting a black screen when I do preview stream. I used game capture on another fullscreen game (Counter-strike Global Offensive) and it worked fine. I'm using version 0.472b. The game shows in the game capture options. Anyone know how to fix this?
Bug Report Black screen with Arma 2
- Thread starter nxnja
- Start date
First of all I'm just checking to make sure this isn't the case: if the game is minimized, you will have a black screen. The capturing can only happen when the game is open.
If that's not the case, then I would probably have to see more details, such as a log file, and a capture hook log file from %appdata%\obs\pluginData\captureHookLog.txt where arma 2 was last run.

I loaded the stream on another computer and had the game loaded on mine, but still got the black screen. Here's the log.
edit: I just remembered I'm using SweetFX, I read in another post that things that hook into the game can cause the black screen. I'll try disabling that and post the results.
edit2: Disabled SweetFX and exited out of MSI afterburner, still get that black screen though.

For me Arma2 (DayZ in my case) works fine when I run OBS as admin.
If I run OBS normally game capture doesn't even show Arma2. Even software capture methods only get a black screen.
Soon as I run OBS as admin though the game shows up in game capture plugin, and software captures work too.

I think SweetFX graphics injector is a culprit here.
I can record the DayZ game-play fine without running SweetFX, yet as soon as I drop DLL/FX/INI files back to enable it my recording loses picture. Sound from all the sources is present, picture is black.
Here are the logs for both instances, in each a "Preview Stream" + Alt-Tab to game were done to confirm the presence/absence of the picture.
Log with SweetFX enabled - black screen with the sound.
Log with SweetFX disabled (renamed file extensions, so injector does not initiate) - both picture and sound are present.
No OBS options were changed, just the SweetFX being used or not.
Is it possible to address this incompatibility with SweetFX? It does so much for vanilla graphics, I hardly want to run the game without it. Capping the window option (with SweetFX running) degrades frame-rate so much on my hardware that the game becomes unplayable.
Thx for any info and help.

No OBS options were changed, just the SweetFX being used or not.
Is it possible to address this incompatibility with SweetFX? It does so much for vanilla graphics, I hardly want to run the game without it. Capping the window option (with SweetFX running) degrades frame-rate so much on my hardware that the game becomes unplayable.
Thx for any info and help.

I have UAC disabled so running it as admin wouldn't change anything.

Disabling SweetFX (I deleted all the files, instead of just turning it off) still didn't fix it for me. I have no idea what it could be, since I closed MSI afterburner also.
I don't think they can fix the SweetFX compatibility though because SweetFX and game capture both have to hook into the game and only one is able to, that's why the display from MSI afterburner doesn't work with SweetFX.

I renamed the files to disable, added '_' in the extensions.
MSI afterburner OSD does work with SweetFX, you need to enable compatibility mode in On Screen Display server properties - click on a big wrench > General tab > Enable ".... modified Direct3D runtime libraries".
"error code = 5" as reported in the log file means access denied, for whatever reason. That was reported in your first log, usually means lack of permissions or something, maybe not running in administrative mode, I don't quite know for sure what exactly would be causing it in this case. The other two logs simply seem to indicate that it was completely unable to initiate a capture, which may or may not be due to the graphics app thing you're using. If you disable it, you must make sure it's fully disabled and probably have to restart to ensure it doesn't hook into games further or something, not -entirely- sure.
Those are just my theories, if possible if you get a log that does not have any warning and does not say "SharedTexCapture hooked", then if possible include the file %appdata%\obs\pluginData\captureHookLog.txt along with it.

I closed MSI afterburner, deleted all SweetFX files, restarted, disabled steam overlay, ran OBS as admin, and still nothing :\
Here's the log from after I tried all that

It seems like you had it working at some point with some game if you had that in the capture hook log, but I don't know if that was specifically with arma 2. I don't quite know for sure. Is arma a game you can run in a windowed mode? If it can run in a borderless windowed mode perhaps you can use window capture for the time being, I'm not entirely sure why but something is preventing you from being able to get the game hooked.
