Question / Help How to fix dark screen with weird colors (or lack of colors)?

[oleic]

Hi,

I'm having weird colors (or lack of) on my OBS screen. I'm running OS Mojave version 10.14. When I stream it is the same result. I've tried closing and reopening OBS twice, reinstalling OBS twice, and restarting my computer. How can I fix this?

Did you mean to have a chroma key filter on your desktop?

16:36:26.460: Loaded scenes:
16:36:26.460: - scene 'Scene':
16:36:26.460: - source: 'Display Capture' (display_capture)
16:36:26.460: - filter: 'Chroma Key' (chroma_key_filter)

To be honest, I have no clue. I dont recall manually setting this. Is this the issue? If so, how can I fix it?

Right click the Display Capture in the Source list. Choose "filters". Remove the Chroma filter, it may be affecting the colors depending on how it was set.

The rest of what's going on there is just the hall-of-mirrors effect you get with OBS capturing itself.

There isn't anything in the Filters option listed. I even removed the display capture and tried looking, but there's no change.

Don't know what to tell you. Log indicates there is a chroma key filter applied. So either that's the wrong log, or something else is wrong. Perhaps make a new blank scene collection and trying again, or testing to see if the same happens with a window capture, if that works?

I added a window capture, it worked before I finalized making it, and a couple seconds later it went to that loss of color film or whatever you'd like to call it. I did it again and it had the same result.

The log still shows the chroma key filter on the desktop capture... no idea why.

Only other thing that seems amiss is this entry which I don't recall seeing before:

20:21:30.331: glClear failed, glGetError returned 0x506
20:21:30.331: device_clear (GL) failed
20:21:30.374: Freeing OBS context data

I wonder if this is a Mojave specific problem.

So I deleted the 2 window captures, and 1 display capture I made(so all sources). Then made a new scene, and deleted the old one. Now it works. I'm unsure what problem was in the original scene.

Scene file got corrupted somehow. Sometimes it happens.
