Question / Help OBS black screens (not using laptop)

[AssassiinGamer]

Whenever I try to stream Minecraft with OBS I just get a black screen when I preview stream. I've tried streaming CS:GO and it has worked just fine.

Video of the problem and my settings: http://youtu.be/BuvjpezqstY

Not a pro, and just a suggestion. Why dont you do a moniter capture and then adjust what part of the screen people are seeing from there? :) The ideas!

Have you tried using a hotkey to capture instead?

Are you using any sort of overlays or anything that could interrupt OBS from hooking the game?

I tried that, but it came out pretty laggy. I don't think monitor capture likes capturing games?

I haven't set up any overlays, so I don't think so :/.

Can't seem to get hotkeys to work :/

By "overlays" I mean things like FRAPS, MSI Afterburner, etc.

Your log seems to indicate that the game capture keeps getting dropped over and over by something, which is what is making me thing there's something else getting in the way of the capture hook. Are you using any special graphical mods for the game?

Well that looks like some sort of bug, wonder how that happened

 

[AssassiinGamer]

I have Fraps and ShadowPlay installed, but I'm not using any Graphical mods, just pure Vanilla client.

 

[dodgepong]

Is FRAPS running, though? If it's installed but not running, that's fine.

 

[AssassiinGamer]

Not whilst I'm using OBS, no.

 

[AssassiinGamer]

Any more help? Problem is still not fixed :(

 

[Lain]

No no, this appears to be somewhat of a rare bug that happens only with your particular system and game combination, I can see it clearly from the log - though I don't know why it's happening. You'd have to come around chat (#obsproject on quakenet) with some time to debug the issue with me. Message me on there, say my name to get my attention.

 

[AssassiinGamer]

Can anyone help? Issue is still not fixed :(

 

[AssassiinGamer]

Sorry, didn't see the second page. Going onto the chat now.

 

[Lain]

Get back here! ..er, if you manage to find some time again. I apologize for going AFK at the time.

 

[AssassiinGamer]

Forgot to tell you I was heading off, I'm back on the chat now.
