I manage to fix these kinds of things on my own, but it just seems like OBS, Fortnite, and windows 7 dont work well together. I can capture other games like csgo and league and minecraft, but not Fortnite. Here are some things I've tried in full screen windowed:
Game capture: black screen, audio captured (for all)
Window capture: captures first frame before freezing
Display capture: works, but locks my game at 30 fps
And for fullscreen mode its always a black screen, even with game capture
So I tried doing some workarounds and I eventually disabled aero causing:
Game capture: still doesnt work but audio captured
Window capture: does work fine
Display capture: works fine with 60 fps
However, the screen tearing is horrible when I get in game so I prefer to keep aero enabled, or for a way to keep vsync on without aero (not possible i believe)
Full screen mode also never gets captured, audio still there
-Running as admin doesnt work. Multi adapter compatibility on or off doesnt work. Capture cursor, transparency on or off, basically all the settings dont work. I also figured out that Streamlabs OBS has the same exact problem. Geforce shadowplay works wonders but I want to switch over to OBS for the subscribers. Also, my friend has windows 7 as well and uses OBS fine with Fortnite, but he has newer specs. I'm just looking for a way to display capture at 60 fps, game capture without a black screen, or for window capture to actually capture the game. Any fixes?
