Question / Help Every game apart from Unturned wants to record... Please help!!

[Chipface12]

Hey forum users,

I'm having a weird issue with my OBS Studio version. I am trying to record some gameplay of Unturned of which a video would most preferably like to be uploaded tomorrow, however when I go to record it, it only previews as a black screen. I've tried not making it fullscreen but that still hasn't worked. It's weird because every other game I have likes to record. Please help!! Here is my log file below:

That doesn't show the recording stop marker, which means you uploaded it before the log completed. Also, please just use the built-in log uploader, or upload the file as an attachment to your post.

Have you tried running OBS Studio as an admin? You said it "previews" as a black screen. Does it also turn up as a black screen in the recording?

It seems Unturned is a Unity game. We've seen issues capturing Unity games when their settings are too high. See this post and the few posts after it.
