Question / Help OBS and OBS Studio aren't working

[Paracosm.net]

I recently tried to use OBS Studio to record games and all that the recording showed was a black screen. The same happened in regular OBS. In addition, any of the other types of capture didn't work, only the audio played.

Need the full log, not just that snippet.

 

[Zubz786]

same is happening with me im adding the sources and only getting a black screen and volume

Hope this is what you need. Also, I attempted putting it into the log analyzer and it said "an unexpected error occured"

Don't bother with the analyzer.

As for your log, it only shows you trying to use display capture with what appears to be bad recording settings.

Try simple output mode, indistinguishable recording quality, software low cpu use encoder.
