Game capture not working for most games

Hi,
I have an issue where my games are not being captured by game capture and window capture does not work as well as it uses too much resources which seemingly results in my OBS or the game crashing.

My log is below where i am trying to get Valorant captured then recreate the game capture to capture the Bazaar and neither of them work, showing only black screen. However, the game capture does work on games like Dota 2 and Nine Sols for example.

Also, the game capture seems to be capturing the sound of the games (only tested it on Valorant) but not the visuals.

Any tips on how to make the game capture work?

For Valorant, use screen capture. Game capture isn't possible due to the anticheat within Valorant that requires a Valorant update to work with the current version of OBS again.

The Bazaar has always to be captured with Window capture according to web research. It seems their game engine never worked with game capture.

What other games do you mean with "most games" not working with game capture? If you tried 2 games, it's probably "most games" for you however since there are so many other games out there, this is a bold statement that's somewhat misleading.

Hi, the other games i tried that do not work with game capture are Dead by Daylight, Hunt Showdown and Marvel Rivals. They are all online games that does not work for me, perhaps it is the anti cheat in all of them?

However, i have a friend that streams in OBS and Dead by Daylight and Hunt works just fine with game capture for them and another friend that streams with StreamLabs that has Valorant working with game capture. I have tried StreamLabs as well but i get the same result for everything like in OBS so idk where the issue lies for me.

The games that work are also all single player, i have not yet encounter one that would not work.

Multiple Game Capture sources are usually not needed, and can sometimes interfere with each other )scene 'Drawing'). You can use the same Game Capture for all your games. If you change games often, try out the hotkey mode, which lets you press a key to select your active game. If you play games in fullscreen, use 'Capture any fullscreen application' mode.
