Question / Help Capture Game Black Screen when trying to stream via Twitch

Byron · May 3, 2014

I'm having issues capturing my game (DayZ) when using OBS on my PC. I watched a few youtube videos which stated that i needed to access my NVIDIA control panel and add the obs.exe, but I do not know which settings I must change. I have an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti. Everything else works fine, you can even hear the in-game sound but there is just a plain black screen with my cursor. Any suggestions would be great! The log is below.
Thanks.

Tried manipulating a few things, still the same black screen in game capture, here's the complete log file.

Lain · May 5, 2014

You were using monitor capture, monitor/window captures cannot capture fullscreen games, only game capture can.

It seems like you had game capture running, but it potentially failed, make sure that you are running OBS as admin before you try again.

Byron · May 5, 2014

Thanks Jim, I tried running obs as admin but I still get the same black screen when I use game capture, this time with an error in the log "DoD3D9GPUHook: opening intermediary texture failed, result = 2147942487"

Lain · May 5, 2014

That error means that there could be something interfering, perhaps a game mod, sweetfx, things like that? Very unusual to see that on a desktop.

Byron · May 6, 2014

That's strange because I have no game mods or anything else running really. I even disabled every possible program running that didn't need to be running and reinstalled obs and tried again, and yet still no luck. Would it have anything to do with my graphics card?

Krazy · May 6, 2014

Possibly. Maybe try doing a clean reinstall of your GPU drivers. Avoid the latest beta drivers from NVIDIA, though.

Byron · May 19, 2014

I just uninstalled my NVIDIA drivers entirely and then reinstalled them from the website and tried game capture again. Ended up with the exact same result of a black screen, audio is still perfectly fine. I'm beyond stumped now.

Lain · May 20, 2014

Ah, this error. I recognize this, it means that there's a conflict that's preventing capture, such as another capture program's hook being active, or graphics mods, or programs that draw custom overlays in to the game. On laptops it can mean that the wrong graphics adapter is in use but you're not on a laptop, so definitely seems like some sort of interference.

I have the same problem running with the following setup :

Operating System : Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
CPU : Intel Core i7 4770K @ 3.50GHz
RAM : 16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 1202MHz
Motherboard : ASUSTeK Z87-PRO (SOCKET 1150)
Graphics : EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Superclocked
Display : Asus PB287Q 28" 4k (2560x1440@60Hz)
ISP : 32mbps down / 14mbps up / 8ms

I just reinstalled Windows. I'm not using the beta drivers for my graphic card. I don't have anything else running at the same time. I have NVidia experience but Shadowplay is not running. I tried disabling my secondary monitor but it doesn't change anything. I still get a blackscreen with sounds. It works with any other game.

I did follow several guides about OBS on youtube for DayZ but it's not helping.

PS : I'm not posting about the Arma mod. I play DayZ the original game (early access alpha).

I used to be able to get it working before the last DayZ patch. But the thing is, I also upgraded my monitor from a Samsung LED HD definition to an Asus LED 4k UHD definition and from a GTX 670 FTW to GTX 980 superclocked at the same time the patch occured. I'm not sure which factor made it stop working but good chances it has something to do with it.

Thank you.

Should I just make a new thread about it to increase my chances to get an answer or ?
