Question / Help Multiple problems

[Insanito]

Greetings, fellow OBS users.

I'm quite new here so please forgive me if I may not understand something straight away.

I've got three major problems with the OBS at the moment, although I have found a temporary solution for one of them, but maybe you've got a better alternative.

1) Black screen. When I watched the recording it was nothing but black screen and the sound from a game I was playing (in this occasion, Diablo 2). I have temporarily fixed this issue by putting a Monitor Capture (or Display Capture) over a Game Capture, but it has made new problems;
2) The game is not being recorded on the full screen and I have no idea how to stretch it to full screen in new OBS versions. The feature either disappeared or hidden somewhere. It looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/FuqSKTT.png
3) In the recording I have noticed a lot of flickering, as is, the textures disappear for milliseconds, occasionally I can see a desktop for a brief moment, etc
3.1) Just a quick extra problem. I have also noticed a terrible frame drop.

Now what I'm looking for is this:
1) Are there any alternative ways to get rid of the black screen bug without overlaying a Display Capture over a Game Capture?
2) How to stretch the capture to the full screen in OBS Studio v21.0.1? Or is there another way of solving this bug?
3) How to get rid of flickering and how to avoid losing so many frames?

As it is requested, here is the log. Bare in mind, I have a low-spec computer but I'm pretty sure there is a way of solving a problem:

Thanks in advance.

First, your bitrate is at the output setting. A good bit rate for you would have to be around 2000-4000 CBR and test around that.

Try to use window capture and 64 bit OBS as your operating system (if 32bit operating system be sure to use OBS as 32 bit.

Right click on the game and see the resoulitions, select it to 1920x1080

Also if 1080p recording use 30 frames.
*If 720p try to use 60 frames*

Hope this helped :)

I'll give it a try in the morning as it is quite late here. Thanks for the tip and I will let you know if it worked.

Ok, no problem that should fix fps drops and black screen.

Hello again.
I've tried what you have suggested and it did solve the problem with the black screen and it doesn't seem to flicker anymore. However, I still experience the problem with non-full screen recording. Or maybe I'm doing something wrong. I've right-clicked on the Game Capture, found Properties and there I've found Force Scaling. I couldn't get 1920X1080 so I got the highest available and it still records non-full screen.

Upd: I think I've got it. With Window Capture on I just needed to drag the bottom right corner of the red borders lower to the bottom right of my desktop screen so that the recording would be on full screen. The image has slightly worsened though but I guess I have to experiment on this one. Thanks for the help.

No problem

Hi right click on your game (not in sources the screen) and there is a resize option to 1920x1080 and that should fix the resolution, does your fps drop?

Hi, sorry for the late response.
I'm not entirely sure if I understood you correctly. I've tried doing what you've suggested but I can't see the resize option anywhere. And yes, I see a frame drop when I watch the recording.
