Question / Help Diablo III stream not showing

Hello,
I literally just downloaded OBS today (my friend recommended it) and I want to attempt streaming Diablo III for the time being. I followed a link from team liquid that gave a sort of step-by-step on how to setup OBS. I went through that, the stream works... when I tab to D3 nothing happens on my stream. There is no 'black screen' or anything, it just doesn't appear. I've tried a bunch of things but I'm guessing i just didn't set something up right because I've never done this before!
Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated,
Thanks!

Sry I prob should have in the first place. This is my last log, I can send my first log if that's more helpful. (also couldn't figure out how to make this as a link - excuse my spam!)

You need to use game capture, or set D3 to windowed fullscreen mode to capture it in fullscreen. Also if using monitor capture, turn off Aero for better performance.

Thanks for the quick response.
Great! I just added game capture and got it running (d3 wouldn't show up a few times, not sure why, but it's running now)
I think I have another issue though. Just looking some of the recordings and when d3 is open it lags, like 5-6 sec intervals. Any ideas? Thx a lot for the help

Make sure you're not using monitor capture in the same scene as game capture, as this will use extra system resources and can cause your stream to lag in the way you mention.
