Question / Help OBS Black screen for game capture and window capture not working??

[Arctic Hawk]

I've had a black screen issue before with OBS but fixed it by turning on integrated graphics but now it's gone black again.. So I tried using Window Capture and it records anything except for the game I'm trying to record... I'm using Windows 10 and using the latest version of OBS and I tried the previous version.

You're trying to run game captures and window captures. One, you shouldn't really have both in the same scene, as this won't perform well.

Second, I'm guessing your previous issue was with trying to run a Display capture. For this, on a laptop with two GPUs, OBS needs to run on the integrated graphics. If you're trying to run a game capture on a game running on your Nvidia card, you'll have to change OBS back to running on that card in order to capture it.

I got it fixed in the OBS Official Discord. Thanks though!!
