Hello! This is my first thread creation so I might have posted in the wrong forum, but I have a problem with OBS.
I got it around a week ago and it was working completely fine. I recorded a few clips to test it out and there was no problem with them, in fact I tried livestreaming on YouTube and it was a success. One day, though, something happened to a game capture window. It was--I believe it's called--tearing, so I looked up how to fix that and it asked me to make sure the game capture matched the type of video renderer I was using. So that made me switch to OpenGL, which made the tearing stop. I tried recording and tested streaming with around 10 seconds of footage, but when the output came out, it was completely black. It wasn't black on the capture or preview in OBS, but when I saved the output it was. It had audio, but weirdly, it didn't have video.
Here's a log where I tested recording and it turned out to be black:
"TTR" is short for Toontown Rewritten, the game I recorded, if any of you have heard of that. A handful of people stream it on Twitch and upload videos of it to YouTube.
Anyway, if anyone could tell me how to fix it, that'd be great. Thanks!

"TTR" is short for Toontown Rewritten, the game I recorded, if any of you have heard of that. A handful of people stream it on Twitch and upload videos of it to YouTube.
Anyway, if anyone could tell me how to fix it, that'd be great. Thanks!
