Question / Help Can't get game capture to work correctly.

[Ryan Coleman]

Hi all,

New streamer here. I downloaded OBS and watched several different youtube videos explaining most of the settings and features and how to tweak them. Only problem is I can't seem to get the OBS game capture source to work (i.e. black screen). I only wish to be able to stream overwatch. Any help would be awesome!

Here is my log upload url: https://gist.github.com/10b3a992e50411a3f82f191975048d80

Thanks!

Attach all your displays to your nvidia video card.

Run OBS on your NVidia GPU

Not a laptop.

This isn't a laptop so im not sure if that still applies to me.

Ok so I hit the compatibility box on the settings and it works now thanks!

Don't do that.

Do what I told you originally.
