So I have set up the scene and the source and while previewing and recording I get a black screen, couple of days ago Game capture worked fine with CS:GO and there was no update so it's weird. The game Capture works with other games!
Tried adding cs go as a global source it didn't work. Anti cheat option didn't work either.
I have also reinstalled the game and I don't have any razer software!
Could anyone help me?

I'd suggest adding this to this thread: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/black-screen-when-using-game-capture.28819/

It has a dev on the page, and from my forum experience over the years, mods and users find similar threads a bit of a pain :) There's a lot of black screen threads, but this is the latest one.
OP is doing it right to post his own thread. no two situations are typically the same, so when a bunch of threads say "me to!", a fix for one might not work for another, plus it clutters up with info.

@RedX your log file shows three game captures and a monitor capture in the same scene, please separate these into difference scenes and use only one game/monitor/window capture per scene per game.

i.e. scene 1 should be called CSGO then add 1 game capture to that scene for CS:GO. \
scene 2 will have a different game and difference overlays.

Second, enable aero, dont disable it.

Third, CS:GO doesn't need anti-cheat hook


Lastly, a game can only be captured once, so maybe CS:GO is behind one of those other game captures, or you have it captured multiple times in another source.

My apologies. I'm used to forums being more "chat-like", rather than actual tech-support ticket style. Thanks for the notice.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply strictly streaming. Try this:
1. Open Game and get past Login/Start screen (can't remember if CS has this, and I played it yesterday O.o)
2. Open OBS
3. Add Game Capture as Source
4. Preview Stream

I don't stream and I usually open obs first then the game
remove all sources from the scene then build a new game capture, start CS:GO and so you can alt-tab, put it in windowed mode. go back to OBS and double click the game capture, press refresh and select CS:GO. After that press record then alt tab back in the game, play for 5 minutes, then alt tab, stop, then watch the recording with VLC. if it still doesn't show, come back and post your log file of that current session
