Game Capture Not Working in any games.

[Tyras]

Hello!

For some reason, the game capture input stopped working for me. All I get is a black screen, and log keeps spamming the same 2 messages. Thinking that could be a problem within my system, I just did a clean Windows reinstall, but the problem persists. I already tried all the solutions I found in the web (including the GPU one, in the pinned posts), but nothing works.

My Environment:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
RAM: 32GB 3200Mhz
GPU: RTX 3800
Mobo: Asus ROG Strix X570-E
S.O: Windows 11 Pro (Build 22000.282)

Do you use afterburner or rivatuner?

Is there a problem using rivatuner vs afterburner with OBS? since I have always used them and they never gave me a problem

Yes. They are known to cause interference, and can make the game capture hook fail to inject into the game's process. Same with most Minecraft shaders as well, since they use memory injection to do what they do.

Known Conflicts

OBS Studio - Free and open source software for live streaming and screen recording - obsproject/obs-studio

Yes, closing Rivatuner would be the first step. If it is doing anything in the background, in some cases it may need to be uninstalled.
If they work for you, go for it and keep them. But if captures start giving trouble, they're the first thing to suspect as causing a conflict.
