Hello everybody !
First the logs :
https://gist.github.com/c8a3a217c13895287364

And now the problem :
The preview window is always black. I can't stream anything except monitorcapturing, but this is real laggy.
I did the following steps,
New Scene
New Source (Gamecapture)
At "Window" I entered the name of the Game/Window of the game (StarCitizen, or DayZ)
I checked "record mousepointer" and the Anti-cheat thingie.
But the windows stay black .. always ..
I only can see a little red dot at the top left corner.
If I click it, it disappear and will never be seen again.

What am I doing wrong ?
I tried many setings and the result is always the same : nothing.
With the "old" version of OBS everything is working fine ..

so please give me a hint :-)

Thank you

Regards

1) Over 'Game Capture' source right click and choose Transform>Fit to screen
2) ALT-TAB two times at game's pause, may help.
3) Uncheck 'Capture any fullscreen application' and select game's exe when it running at pause.

Edit: Post log at recording attempt.
 
Hi Suslik !
Thank you for your reply, but :
Fitting the "framne" to screen works, now I have the full screen available inside the preview windows
Tabbing out of the game, will change nothing and selöecting the games exe also change nothing.
The windows stay black !
So I started recording and generated a log fil
https://gist.github.com/1beed67b674710d28576

I have absolutely no ide, why this is not working for me.
The old OBS works fine but the new deliver features I need, so I need to change.

So what can I try ?
I ran out of ideas.

BUt I will test some more things so I can tell you

Try 'Use anti-cheat compatibility hook' in the 'Game Capture'. Also temporarily disable your antivirus software. Hook problems is hard to solve. I have different system and I don't have Star Citizen.

When I first time recorded with 0.13.1, I got black preview window and a 'good' log:
21:45:27.607: ==== Recording Start ===============================================

21:45:46.611: ==== Recording Stop ================================================

But THEN I tried some 'Game Capture' properties, reverted to the original one settings, alt-tabbing couple of times, and it works (almost same log):
22:04:24.883: ==== Recording Start ===============================================

22:05:07.470: ==== Recording Stop ================================================
Edit. Now it works like a charm, fast check:

Then capture begin to work for all my games. Magic O_o

So, try it first at simple game. Does it works?

Update ...Streaming DayZ is working fine.
So I try to figure out what settings will work ..
But : Why does it work with the old version, and the new "better" one is totally messed up ?

I will let you know again if I found something
