Hello, I have been trying to capture gameplay with OBS using the Game Capture source (File output only) and saving it to my desktop, but with every game I play all I get is a black screen with the game audio. This is the same when I preview my game capture and with every game I try, whether I play Battlefield, Farcry or even Peggle. Please help in anyway you can and suggest anything and as many things that might work. I have v0.591b Thanks :D
Question / Help Game capture shows black screen but still audio?

It's probably not an issue with the update. There are a lot of things that could cause a black screen. In this case, it looks like it's because he is trying to capture at too high of a resolution for his GPU, which is quite old.
ReDAnT, your CPU and GPU are woefully underpowered for the settings you are trying to record at.I recommend downscaling to 360p, lowering to 25fps, and raising your x264 preset to ultrafast. See if that helps you capture and encode at all.

This appears to be a permissions issue (meaning you may have to run it as administrator), but it could be out of date drivers or perhaps the device is too old and the feature isn't working correctly. It's a (relatively) older model of video card, though I *think* it should work fine still.
