The game is PAYDAY 2. I've been streaming it regularly for too many years now. Using OBS Studio 27.0.1 and prior its been flawless, only rarely requring to relaunch the game (and only the game, once) for it to snap back in.
Since update 27.1 it broke. I stream quite a few games including some infamous for giving most problems with capture (Minecraft, VulkanAPI-only games such as DOOM Eternal), some regular Unity and Unreal ones - everything still works but only PAYDAY 2 now doesn't want to get captured no matter what I do, rebooting the PC, relaunching both game and OBS as admin, setting up a new scene with a new game capture source, creating a new profile and scene collection, tinkering with checkboxes in game capture.
I've never bothered dealing with reporting and waiting for it to resolve and just rolled back to previous version hoping this will get fixed eventually (cuz I can't be the only dumass in a similar situation I thought) and I'll update some time later. Rolling back to 27.0.1 immediately fixed it.
But now this 27.2 came out. I updated it, completely forgetting about this thing. It still the same and I ruined what supposed to be a good stream because of this and now I'm pissed. So here is the log:
Actions done there:
1) Opening the OBS as admin (game capture is set up to find any fullscreen app)
2) Launching ULTRAKILL, sitting in the menu for a couple seconds, closing it
3) Launching PAYDAY 2, sitting in the menu for a couple seconds, closing it
4) Launching ULTRAKILL again, sitting in the menu for a couple seconds, closing it
5) Launching PAYDAY 2 again, sitting in the menu for a couple seconds, alt-tab it a couple times, enable-disable fullscreen in the game, trying to mess with OBS creating a new game capture a specific window, messing with checkboxes, seeing that nothing has changed closing the game
6) Exiting OBS
7) Launching OBS again, upload last log file
