Hey everyone. I'm on Windows 7 running OBS in admin mode 64 bit. Does anyone else have any issues using Game Capture with games from GOG? Whenever I try using Game Capture mode I just get black and have to fall back on Window or Monitor capture mode. Does anyone have any solution for this? Thanks in advance.

You're going to have to be a lot more exact. What GOG games are you referring to? GOG sells all sort of games, both old and new games. When it comes to old games, they probably don't work with the game capture method. As stated in the OBS help file:
So for those games you will just want to use the window capture mode, which is fine as it is very efficient and works very well. I use the Window Capture mode for almost everything.

Yeah, those aren't going to work with the Game Capture mode. You could try running them in full screen if you aren't already, and trying to capture them then, but I would suggest just using the Window Capture mode.
EDIT: If you are on Windows 8 you can also use the monitor capture mode, but I wouldn't recommend using that on Windows 7, as on Windows 7 this mode is highly inefficient.

No problem!
You could try capturing them with the DDraw plugin: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/directdraw-dx8-capture-support.27/
This plugin will be incorporated into game capture in the next release of OBS.
