I set up OBS to be configured to my pc. I have tried game record and that doesn't work but the moniter capture does. My pc is good. 12 gigs of ram, 1tb hard drive, intel core i7 870 2.93 ghz processor and a nvidia msi 240 gt 1 gig graphics card. OBS would either have a black screen when recording or it would record only the top left corner of my game and the bottom right corner of my desktop. May I get some help please???

ok, I will do that when I have the time....which will be tommorow but I will get the log. it's no biggie, I have until saturday to get obs working.
 
First I would remove the monitor capture from your scene and just use game capture, having a game cap and a monitor cap in the same scene is a waist of resources.

Try game capture with anticheat hook enabled, if that doesn't work, window capture, then window capture with compatibility. one of those will work for your game.


Also as a side note:
Code: 
17:11:15: Video Encoding: x264
17:11:15: fps: 60
17:11:15: width: 1680, height: 1050
17:11:15: preset: veryfast
17:11:15: profile: high
17:11:15: keyint: 250
17:11:15: CBR: yes
17:11:15: CFR: yes
17:11:15: max bitrate: 45000
17:11:15: buffer size: 45000

Since you are local recording,
Change preset to ultrafast, keyframe interval to 2, CBR unchecked, quality balance to 7, and buffer to 0 (which will give you the best quality)

When you create the window capture, you should check the box for compatibility mode. If you already built the window capture, just double click it again and select the compatibility mode.

did you remove the game capture first then create the window capture?

Also, set your video resolution to the same as your monitor size just for troubleshooting.

Code: 
monitor 1: pos={0, 0}, size={1680, 1050}


17:11:15:   Video Adapter Output 1: pos={0, 0}, size={1024, 768}, attached=true

I would suggest to set your capture size to no greater than the size of the window you are capturing. i.e. if your game size is 1024x768, set your capture to that. then use game capture with anti cheat hook enabled. window capture wont work with full screen games btw. It will only work with windowed or windowed no border.

personally, whatever game resolution you like, pick that. If that game runs in full screen, you are stuck with using game capture so switch back to that if it gives you some sort of picture.

Now that your game resolution matches your stream window, you should no longer have different size stream pictures.

Once you get a picture to come up either in the preview window of OBS, right click on the preview window, click "size and position" then fit to screen or something.

If the game still doesn't show up in full screen then go to your game capture properties by double click the game capture then selecting "stretch to fit" as well.
