Question / Help Game Capture Suddenly Quit Working

[Nirrudn]

Today I had Game Capture produce nothing but a black screen on two games. One was a game I'd never tried before, and somewhat old (Titan Quest) so I kind of dismissed that as just an old game issue. The other, however, is a game that I've used Game Capture just fine for months now (Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning) but tonight I just could not get Game Capture to work at all on it. I tried both via selecting it in the dropdown menu, and setting/using a hotkey instead.

I ended up opting for Window Capture which worked just fine, but I'm a little alarmed at the up-until-now always reliable Game Capture failing me.

Log file attached. Superfast is to reduce my CPU load/temperature, I'm okay with the picture quality produced.

Perhaps something happened, not entirely sure. Would probably have to access the computer directly to get an idea why that might have occurred. The log says that things went mostly fine for the most part (where you see the messages about "SharedTexCapture hooked"), but later on it seems to have stopped, I doubt this was a bug, perhaps just bad conditions? Or maybe you use overlays like mumble/teamspeak/etc? Those often cause a conflict.

Only overlay running is the Steam overlay, which has never caused conflicts for me before, but I haven't had a repeat of the issue since this post so it was probably circumstantial. If it happens again I'll try disabling the Steam overlay and see if that fixes it.

Yea steam overlay doesn't cause conflicts typically. I'm not 100% sure what's going on though -- I wish I knew more but I'm a little bit confused admittedly. I would like to know if you get more information. If necessary I'll jump in with a teamviewer session or something if you can replicate it with a windowed game or something.

Was working fine for Lockheed Martin's Prepar3D ... suddenly stopped. Wondering if a re-download and reload of OBS might fix the problem?
