Question / Help Display Capture Oddness

[Brian Rubin]

Hello! I'm writing because I've an odd problem with OBS. I've a new Win10 machine, and I'm having some odd issues with display capture of my primary monitor, an ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q running on an EVGA 2080 Ti. I'm running OBS in administrator mode, and while I can get the desktop just fine, whenever a game launches, OBS turns black, and I can't get the desktop back on OBS without restarting it. Here are my log files:

Current Log - https://obsproject.com/logs/4gvDKQyBrXhQ9XHR
Last Log - https://obsproject.com/logs/mWTGHBS0ozg4U5e-

I'm also including a DxDiag for reference as well. Any help would be very useful. Thank you.

You have too many monitor captures for the same monitor. You created not only references to existing monitor captures, you created multiple versions of capturing the same monitor. This will not work - these step on each other. You added them to be able to crop them differently, and adding as reference inherits the crop filter.

Remove all of them, all copies and all references. Create one monitor capture only, and remove any crop filter. Then read this post to learn how to create different crops of references by not using the crop filter but cropping directly:

Hey Koala, thank you for this, but it's not clicking. Might you know of a guide or video you can recommend, please?
