Question / Help Multi Monitor Capture Black screen issue (on one monitor)

Hi guys, at work at the moment so when i get home if more info is needed i can input a log but heres the issue im having atm.

Just set up my Desktop with 3 monitors. 2x 21 inch Samsung montors for the left and right side. and a 23 inch Asus in the center. 2x dvi connections and 1 vga to mini display adapter to hook them up. Running a radeon hd 6900 series card
2gb 256bit card.

Initial set up was fine and went through the catalyst control center and set up eyefinity display to fool around with it and try triple monitor set up for a couple of games. Tested LoL, and SMITE three screens worked perfectly (funny in LoL i can sit in mid lane and see left and right lanes on the side screens). Anyways...at first i loaded up OBS and did a monitor capture for each monitor (left, center, and right monitor) and it worked fine. Messed around with how to set it up for a viewer with shrinking and putting three screens in view side by side fit to one viewing screen, and later moved the left and right screens to overlay the center screens in the top left and right corners like rear view mirrors. All worked fine.

Problem started when i disabled eye-finity and went to a regular center monitor main with extended desktop being left and right monitors. Set up a new scene in OBS and again added monitor captures for left center and right. Now my center and right monitor show up fine but my left monitor is getting black screen. Back to eye-finity and still getting left screen black out. Back to extended...left screen Black out. Odd Thing is i can set up window captures on the left screen to capture things such as radcall chat, youtube vids, etc and they show up fine while sitting on my left screen, But the monitor capture of the entire left screen itself is giving me nothing but black screen.

Please help. I would like to be able set up all three montors as captures so that i can toggle between them while streaming.

Tried to give as much info as possible while not being at my actual computer at the moment. If more info is needed i will add desired info tonight when i get home.

Is there a reason you can't use Game capture to capture the game window?

no game capture works just fine. Just really bugs me that monitor capture doesnt work for that left monitor

It should work, but if the monitor having problems is running on another graphics adapter you might experience problems such as this. Especially with windows 8 as well (if you're using it)

Hm, wish I could replicate it, unfortunately everything seems to be working on my end, not entirely sure why it's happening on your case but thank you for pointing it out -- may want to upload a log of this just in the (admittedly unlikely) off-chance of something weird showing up there. Other than that, not entirely sure
