Question / Help Game capture displays nothing but black screen

[skillfulzombie]

my game capture displays a black screen instead of my game heres my log files however when I logged these files I didn't have the game running so the game capture wasn't capturing anything

Run OBS as admin.

tried running as admin just now I still get a black screen on obs heres the log files

You can't game capture or window capture edge. That wasn't a good test.

I was trying to see if It would fix it but it never did and I forgot to change it back
wasn't meaning to capture edge but it still doesn't capture

 

[Harold]

Edge won't ever capture using window or game capture.

Try heroes of the storm or hearthstone (free games from blizzard)

 

[skillfulzombie]

I know edge wont but no games even capture I figured if I select edge then something else it would fix it but it never fixed my issue

 

[Harold]

Have you tried either heroes of the storm or hearthstone?

 

[skillfulzombie]

[skillfulzombie]

Maybe your PC doesn't have the power to show the in-game action! (I had this problem with the beta version and also with some games that are very demanding, like Battlefield 1)

You should:
1 watch the tutorials and do a short stream test and watch the results
2 - lower your in-game and desktop resolutions and set OBS streaming resolution the same like your desktop's and game's resolution. Keep lowering the resoltuion untill you see the stream test results you want.
