Hey guys,
I know this has been asked and discussed like 1000 times, but add me to the list of people with the black screen recording problem. I have tried everything I could think of or I could find on the net, spending hours messing with settings and variations but to no avail. It doesn't matter which game I'm running, as soon as I try full-screen any recording always comes back in black - mouse cursor will show and sound is working, but no video. My hardware is quite ancient and I know I'll always have low FPS or dropped frames, but that's not the issue for me.
What I want:
- to record gameplay of various games (Borderlands, DayZ Mod, Bad Company 2, etc.), not as stream but as file output.
What I have:
- Q6600@3Ghz, 6 GB RAM, GTX 560 Ti, Windows 7 x64 Professional.
- 2 Monitors (22"/1680*1050 and 18"/1600*1200)
Log Files: One, Two, Three, Four.
What I tried:
- running OBS, Steam and/or any games as administrator.
- updating my drivers (all of them) or installing optional Windows hotfixes.
- making sure I got the correct input device (which is easy, only have that one GTX).
- pressing ALT-TAB after starting the game, refreshing sources in OBS, and tabbing back to the game.
- trying different variations of Game Capture, Monitor Capture and Window Capture with one or the other on top or fit to screen or whatever.
- tying to set up several scenes with different sources each and switching between them in-game.
- switching monitors, or disabling one of them.
I also watched a couple of YoutTube clips on this matter, but nothing I've seen so far did help me.
Log files show that I have dropped frames and the usual warning if Monitor Capture is used, but nothing else.
Can anyone give me a hint what I'm doing wrong?
EDIT: Just to be clear, window mode recordings are working perfectly fine, it's all about full-screen here.
