Question / Help Black screen?

Cemynx · Sep 7, 2013

No idea if this is the right place howeverr...

I'm attempting to livestream Assassin's Creed III, however, if I try to use the "Game Capture" it goes to the infamous black screen but will still have sound. If I try to use the "Monitor Capture", it does the same thing.

ACIII does not have a windowed mode, so I can't do the "Window Capture" or work around it like that. I've been all over the internet, and I can't find a way to cheat AC3 into windowed mode that works for me. Is there anyway to make AC3 show up properly on the livestream, or does the ubisoft overlay essentially ruin that?

We definitely would like to see a log file if possible

Similar problem. It records the sound just fine but no video. I've changed the settings around a few times and still nothing. Changed the resolution, capture rate. Added the game to global sources.
*edit*
The one thing I did not do was add the game to sources lol. Thought it would be automatic since it was on global and I was originally on full screen. I got it to capture! Just don't like the quality of the video. Don't know if it's my PC or the program but the capture becomes blurry the moment I start to move outside (probably because of the weather effects in game?) I stand still in a room and it looks better again.

Lito: You haven't actually added any sources to your scene. Even if you add something as a global source, you still have to add it to the current scene by right clicking the sources listbox and selecting Add->Global source->the name of your source.

As for the OP, you may have to disable the uPlay overlay in order to properly capture AC3.

Lito · Sep 8, 2013

That was a quick reply! Yes, I noticed while I continued tinkering and edited my post. Thank you!

paibox · Sep 8, 2013

The blur is because of the bit rate, doing 720p when there's a lot going on (such as rain and other weather effects) with only 1000Kbps to work with is never going to look especially good, no matter the settings.

If you want better quality, increase your bit rate, just keep in mind that the streaming service you use (if you're streaming) also needs to be able to present video with that bit rate to the viewers.

Lito · Sep 8, 2013

My issues are resolved! I upped the bit rate since I'm not streaming and wow, what an improvement on the quality! Might have derailed the this thread a little bit but thanks for the help paibox!

dodgepong · Sep 8, 2013

I'd like to see a log from the OP still, though, if he's around.

Cemynx · Sep 9, 2013

I do still live!

Thanks for the replies everyone. I can't reach the computer with the log file on it right now, but I'll have access it tomorrow, so I'll update this post with the info...as well as try the suggestions.

EDIT:
Okay, I attempted to disable both the uplay overlay and the steam one, but I'm still receiving only sound with a black screen. Log files for you folks...

Updated with log file.

Cemynx · Sep 18, 2013

Bump?

Lain · Sep 19, 2013

The error code translates to "there was not enough memory to complete this operation". (Also, could you try running the 64bit version of the application instead of the 32bit version?)

Question / Help Black screen?
