Question / Help Black screen with audio only, or game crashes

So, as the title says, I'm having trouble recording a game.
If I use monitor capture (which actually records my desktop just fine), while recording the game, it'll just record a black screen.
If I use game capture, it instantly crashes the game. Also note that it shows the "Warning: high encoding" in red, when I do it this way.

It is an old game that I'm trying to record, (Command and Conquer, C&C95) so if it's some type of issue with the graphics, it wouldn't surprise me. I have, however, talked to other people that have managed to record the game without any issue, and tried their settings. Still no luck.



I've attached 2 logs, one with monitor capture, the other game capture.

I hate to say it but your system looks effectively unusable for streaming or recording with OBS. Your CPU is unlikely to be able to handle real time video encoding and running a game at the same time, and your GPU is so old that OBS is having to run in compatibility mode.
