Question / Help OBS Black screen, Randomly, with Audio (Works fine normally)

Hi all,

Briefly, I typically use OBS with games and it works fine. However, occasionally it will revert to a black screen recording. Usually I can just restart the game and POP, OBS recognizes the game and records normally. But sometimes I don't double check before I start a round, and for some reason it will revert to a black screen.

Again, I can simply close the game, and reopen it without touching OBS and it will recognize the game and record normally. But of course, I have lost some cool footage because I don't realize that it is happening until after and i check the video.

Is this a common problem? Is there something I can do to prevent this? I am pretty newb at OBS, so I am hoping you all can help me.

Thank you!

You might have multiple game capture sources or monitor capture sources that might step on each other. Remove/deactivate all but the one you actually use.
