Hey everyone,
I hope someone can help me because I feel just lost at the moment lol. Been trying to get OBS to work properly for almost 12 hours straight and I don't know what I'm doing anymore.
Right now, I have a problem with the colors in the recording. It looks flat, dull, dead. I tried changing stuff in the advanced settings, but it doesn't seem to work. The sharpness isn't great either, but I feel like I've got it the best it's going to get.
At this point, the things I record with quicktime still look better than with OBS. (but only OBS records sound from the game and plays in my headphones at the same time)
I really hope someone can help me fix these issues.
This is what I'm working with, and yes I know, it's totally not ideal for gameplay and recording gameplay.. but it's what I have to work with.
