Bug Report Game Capture Issue (SC2)

[Sovano]

Hi everyone,

I've been having this issue for a long time now, and I have not been able to solve it. I'm trying to stream Starcraft II in full-screened mode, but the only thing that shows up is a black screen with only the cursor visible moving around. I can only get the stream to show Starcraft II when it is in windowed mode or full screen windowed, but my FPS is cut in half and is unbearable to stream.

In OBS settings ->Video , for Video Adapter select NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M , see if it works.
(also don't use monitor capture and game capture in the same scene)

Game capture is for full screen games, and scene/monitor is for windowed/borderless/fullscreen windowed modes. You can also try setting OBS to run as both an admin program and using the nvida panel to whitelist it

My video adapter has always been set to my dedicated GPU in OBS. Unless I have it wrong somehow.

Also I didn't realize you can't use both of those sources together in the same scene. I just created two different scenes, one for SC2 and one for my desktop. SC2 has only game capture, and my desktop has only monitor capture. Before posting this thread I had also just used one scene for SC2 alone with game capture, but still nothing. When I change the setting to my Intel HD 4000 both scenes are black.

I'm already logged in as the administrator of my laptop, so I'm not particularly sure how I would run it as an admin program. Also how would you whitelist OBS in the nvidia panel?

1. Right click on desktop.
2. Select Nvidia Control panel.
3. Nvidia Control panel will open.
4. Select Manage 3D Settings.
5. You will see two tabs Global Settings and Program Settings.
6. Select Glabal and select High Performance NVIDIA Processor. (This effectively turns off Optimus using the NVIDIA GPU all the time).
7. Or Select Program Settings.
8. Select Add under 1.
9. Find the game you want to white list, if OBS is not there, then you need to browse to its executable and add it.
10. Click on Open.
11. Under 2. Select High Performance NVIDIA Processor if not already selected.

Thanks for the help you two! Especially amd. I finally got it to work, a part of my Starcraft window is cut but I think I can readjust that later :)
