Question / Help No Text and Black Software Capture

Hello,

I have the following two issues:

1.Everytime I add a text it isjust not visible - which is strange while it was working fine on my pc (I switched to my laptop, as my pc was fairly to old to do streaming in general - and run games at the same time).
This happens for text from a .txt file and when I enter any text manually in the box. When I change the size of the text, I see changes in there (like the box getting bigger in Edit mode) but no text what so ever is visible.


2.The Nvidia Optimus thing drives me crazy. I launch everything I run on my PC on the Nvidia Card (it's set as the main GPU in all settings). And still if I try to capture a Software (like XInput to display my XBOX Controller) it stays black.
BUT if I launch OBS in the "Intel mode" it works, BUT my game flickers :/
Any solution for that?

OK I've read around and apparently the Text issue is gonna be fixed soon.
But anyone has a hint for the 2nd issue?

I may try to add a "ram capture" sort of mode for software capture to force it to work, similar to what I did with the text control. It'll be slower but it'll reduce issues with these sort of laptops.
