When i try to use the game capture feature it just shows nothing at all and it wasn't like this all the time, it just sudddenly happened.
Here's my computer specs (file log https://gist.github.com/246eaeb4a09921ee1667 )

CPU: Intel Core i5-2310 @2.90GHz
8 GB ram
Nvidia GeForce GTX 460
im running on windows 7

I tried to look up anything i could have done to fix the problem but I just can't figure it out.

It seems as though it failed connecting with osu! ..Is it working with other games? Osu! should work.

You don't want to use game capture on your browser. Try using window capture if that's the case. Regardless, I know that game capture works with osu! so I can't help but feel like there's something else going on here like something that's interfering with game capturing. Other capture programs perhaps? Graphics adapter utilities? Custom overlay programs like teamspeak/mumble?

Delete your game capture source, make sure the game is running then re-add the game capture and make sure to choose the game. Do not use the hotkey feature. If this still doesn't work, post a log of the attempt.

I am also having the same problem again.

Edit: Did some testing and I think my game capture results in a black screen only if I was logged into and using mumble prior to launching the game.

I am having the same problem, had this working fine 24hrs ago and now it won't detect my Game of Everquest in the drop down menu, I messed around with my video capture overlay and once clicked on the Firefox browser via game capture drop down menu , after that it became busted.

Seems something got busted, will reinstall this app and start from scratch and see...

Edit: I figured it out, nothing got busted cept my head. I had to run 64bit version as Admin. I was using 32bit version which gave me problems.

Excuse me young one, I thought this was a help forum for people looking for an answer to specific problems whereas rather than post the same problem elsewhere it is best to post where people already have posted said problem.This makes it easier for the devs to look at aswell as for other people searching high and low for an answer.

Did you get YOUR problem fixed?
