Display Capture Error - Selecting a monitor does not change the output

Has anyone found a fix for this?
I've just upgraded to latest 30.1.2 after being on v27 for a long time to find this problem. Looks like it was never fixed.

I have 4 monitors between 2 "areas" of my setup - 2 on the desk, 2 on a sim racing rig, so I only run 2 monitors at a time with DisplayFusion to change the profiles.

Since OBS update, if monitors are disconnected then I can't select a display capture. If I go an physically unplug them I can.

Worked all the way back to v28.1.2!

Note for others with the error: Display Capture only captures one monitor regardless of which one is selected.
Try installing v28.1.2.

Having this issue with my two Dell monitors in 2024. Reverting to v28.1.2 solved it for me. (I was using v30)

Literally made an account to say that I am also experiencing this same issue on v31.0.1 in 2025. This is kind of a really big deal because replugging constantly does damage over time, especially when the ports are not easy to reach, and there is a lot of struggling while reaching back behind the PC (which is not easily movable).

Is there any chance this will be fixed? Is there a git issue I should be making noise on too (I'll look tomorrow...)?

This is an issue for me in v31 as well, i also reverted back to v28.1.2 and it's working fine. So this isn't a hardware / setup issue on my side.

Also it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to disconnect the troublesome "extra" monitor because my LG Ultra gear, has 2 modes for adaptive-sync which causes it to show as 2 monitors in windows over a single Displayport. So i can't disconnect anything.
