Question / Help FIXED - OBS Game Capture Black Screen

[Yoda7224]

Hello!
I recently downloaded OBS Studio in order to primarily record games. My focus being Overwatch.

I play Overwatch in fullscreen mode and I cannot get the "game capture" source to record my game. I am trying to record at 1080p 60fps. During the preview and the recording I see nothing but a black screen, although when I am editing the properties for the game capture source it shows the game in the small preview box.

I have tried using window capture mode, and display capture mode and those cannot seem to capture my fullscreen game. My currently have my game capture source set to record a specific window, and that window is my Overwatch.exe. I have tried with and without the anti-cheat compatibility.

I'd appreciate any help, cause I have never had this problem in the past with past machines. Thank you.

Upon further testing, streaming as well does not work as well with game capture. Is there another way I can record a fullscreen application without using game capture?

FIXED!

I had to right click my game capture source, and click TRANSFORM. After clicking TRANSFORM, I hit "Fit to screen" and the preview showed up instantly! I could see no red scaling box prior to this so that expalins it, now the preview is working great.
