Question / Help OBS finds game but records only audio

[sky333]

i've bee trying to find a solution for two hours and i am fed up.


in quite a few of my games, OBS finds the game but when i press record or stream, it only captures the audio and not the video. any ideas for a solution?


btw, since i already opened a thread, in the common cases that obs doesnt recognize the game, any other way to record it? keep in mind that most games don't allow window mode...

Only some games? Is that a laptop? If so, does it have AMD switchable graphics?

 

[dodgepong]

Yeah, it would be good to know what kind of games you're trying to capture. According to that log, it doesn't look like you ever actually attempt to capture a game.
