(Help) Valorant freezes when I open OBS

[ludo1106]

Hi, I have a problem I couldn't find a solution for:

When I open OBS while Valorant is running (it only happens with Valorant), the game freezes and the preview is all black. I don't even have to start recording or streaming, just need to open the app. A few hours ago it worked perfectly.

The OBS Analyzer tells me: max audio buffering and that the CPU and GPU are 100%, but that doesn't happen with any other game and the same settings. Here is the log.

BTW, I also have a common problem with streaming (can't start output). I followed this instructions but it doesn't worked for me.

Try a different version of OBS, I was having similar issues and just reverted back to an older version.

Same, but I notice this only happens when I open OBS as an administrator. If i don't, the preview still looks black. Thanks anyway.

I think I might have figured out the PROBLEM but not a Solution. For me, I found that Valorant stops responding ONLY when you try to capture it using game capture: Specific window: Valorant. But it doesn't if you use normal window capture (Personally I don't like using window capture because I like being able to tab out since I don't have a second monitor. (EDIT) Also if you turn off the game capture layer (The eye on the side) Valorant will unfreeze as well.
