Question / Help Need help with streaming full screen game.

[Dethsturm]

I'm trying to stream Kerbal Space Program in full screen, but OBS just returns a blank for the game capture. I've managed to get Star Conflict to record in full screen, so it's not every game.

I'm starting to think that it is the game itself that is not able to be captured. Is there any way to capture it in full screen?

This could be because of your laptop, you might have to make sure that OBS is running on the nvidia instead of the intel. In the latest test version, you can actually specify which GPU to use in video settings, so it should work for your case.

I have the same problem, thing is the screen is just all black when I shift into wow. I did indeed check the GPU and it is the correct one.
