So I'm trying to stream Dolphin Emulator. It shows up fine in OBS (sometimes) then when I switch scenes or uncheck the Dolphin scene it will frequently go black (OBS says it cannot find the window) when it is clearly open. I have tried window capture and game capture, setting the source as a global source, stable 0.625b and 0.63b builds, using OpenGL and D3D in Dolphin, and a myriad of other things. Any ideas?

Windows 7/i5 4690k | Radeon 7770 | 4GB RAM

Yeah I have tried switching between game capture and window capture. It happens with both.

Well game capture appears to be succeeding. I'm just theorizing here but the game might be running on the intel adapter or something. You might want to disable the intel adapter in the bios if you're not using it.

I will try that but I am fairly certain it is running on my dedicated card as under display adapter in Dolphin settings says so. I have noticed that restarting obs sometimes fixes it and it primarily happens when unchecking the box for the scene. When game capture fails I switch to window capture and vice versa. That seems to help sometimes. It appears to be random as to which stops working.
