Alright. I'm gonna try and keep my composure because I've about had it.

Now for anyone who's played Call of Duty 4 on the PC, you know that when you load a mod, Call of Duty 4 has to close out then open again. When it does this, Game Capture begins to show a black screen. I have to stop the stream, close OBS out, then open it again and do the game capture process all over again. But what happens when I load another map? Game closes out then opens again, Game Capture shows a black screen again, cycle continues. It's starting to get annoying. Not only that, but if I try to minimize the game and try to fix anything, the game crashes.

Call of Duty 4 isn't the only game that I've had this problem with. Battlefield 3, Battlefield 4, and Battlefield Hardline dont even show up in the list of running applications when I try to stream them using Game Capture. They dont show up in Window Capture either when I put them in Windowed Mode. The only way I can record games properly is by using Monitor Capture, which doesn't take as big a fps hit as people say it does but I always get black bars running down the side when I do that.

Hey ugh, what you can do is go into game capture properties and select hotkey. So when the screen for obs goes black you can press the hotkey button and then it will start capturing the game that you're playing again.

I run everything as admin. But I found a solution, I just went with Xsplit. No more BS, no more Only Black Screens.
