Question / Help Certain games Flicker in OBS or just a black screen

[JeffsOn]

A few games i've been trying to stream using Game Capture full screen or window mode will mostly just show up a black screen or flicker uncontrollably. Minecraft will show up in full screen and windowed but it will non-stop flicker for example in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8uH-ogn2Xw

I tried to Stream Binding of Isaac Rebirth but it was also Flickering similar to Minecraft and in windowed mode. Isaac wouldn't show up in fullscreen at all, just a black screen.

Here's a log file for the Minecraft record I did: http://pastebin.com/P2DAjPFX

And here's the log file from the Long 4 hour stream I did where at the end, Isaac started to flicker my screen: http://pastebin.com/1qwmGddE


I hope this information helps. Please let me know if there's anything else I need to provide.

Here is the hierarchy to try and go down if the upper doesn't work:

Game capture, Game with anti cheat hook, Window capture, Window with Compat mode, (Last resort!) screen capture.

You will probably find that mostly all things are fixed with Window and Compatibility mode.

I should also have noted that the flickering ONLY occurs on OBS's side. MY games do not flicker or cause any problems. It's just OBS that does this.

Do I need to open OBS in Admin and do Compat mode there under one of the various service packs? Or just compat mode when i'm capturing it under Game or window? I've already tried a variation of these methods to stop the flickering.and it hasn't fixed any of it. Only Monitor capture has been the ultimate solution but everything comes out so small that way.

If something is coming out the wrong size, click edit scene and make it bigger. check your GPU to make sure its not overheating, that is what those artifacts look like to me. either GPU or vRAM is getting to hot or a failed overclock
