Bug Report Game Capture Just Shows Up As a Black Screen

[The Letter B]

I've tried running as admin, changing the windows graphics setting to high performance, changing my encoder to see if that was the problem. THis happens on anything I try to record with it, not a certain game. Even on things I used to be able to record it with.

Not every game can be game captured.

You may have some luck if you set it to run in windowed borderless mode.

Game capture doesn't care what encoder you use.

When games update their anti-cheat, sometimes this prevents OBS from capturing, and requires the developers to fix it in order to restore game capture functionality.

Minor correction, this is happening because OBS updated the Game Capture hook (to include Vulkan support) in version 25. The devs need to update their anticheat software with the new game capture signature to allow OBS' new GC through. I'm happy to blame Ubisoft when they deserve it, but this isn't one of those times. :)

So is the Vulkan game capture hook breaking on DX games it used to work on? I haven't encountered this yet, but I suppose I will if it's true.

We updated game capture to add support for Vulkan, this requires anti-cheat developers to whitelist the new DLL. Anti-cheats updating should not be breaking an already whitelisted game capture.
