well I started recording some gameplay of me and my friend. my issue isn't that my mic isn't working I simply forgot to turn it on since it has a bit of static too it. my issue is shown in this video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJqvvs8R_Eo

every couple of seconds there is a black screen that jerks in and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. I thought it might be game resolution and going to windowed full screen gets rid of the problem but I prefer to play in full screen. my other games don't seem to have this problem. only hots gets it and only in windowed fullscreen.

Do you use screen capture ? If yes try gamecapture and look if that is working better. Also post a logfile from your last obs settings

ok so that actually fixed it. here are the logs if you still want them. I did try restarting my recording multiple times so you may see repeats.

You didn't actually follow the recording guide properly

21:24:12: Using custom x264 settings: "Custom x264 parameters: crf=20"
you put the wrong thing in the custom x264 paramaters box.

Also are you getting game sounds fine?

well since it turned out hots just didn't like monitor capture but likes game capture I switched to that and set all my settings to what they were before. and I was getting sound just fine in the recording I linked.
