Hi,

Could somebody give me a hint as to why this stopped working?

the game capture worked last week, but now it is a black screen. The source is from Minecraft javaw.exe.

It broke after I created Scenes. When I change to screen ( e.g full screen camera), and the back to the Gaming screen ( javaw.exe) it goes black, and take 5 mins to show Minecraft.

It is set to Capture Specific window -> [javaw.exe]: Minecraft* 1.21.8

I tried removing the GameCapture and creating it again, but the source remains black.

(Javaw.exe is set to high performance mode. )

I tried to capture other screens, ( e.g the browser, Explorer, etc.,) but it is a black screen for everything. Not just javew.exe

Update: I logged in and logged out, and the game was displayed again _until_ I changed the Scene! Then it went to a black screen for the Game Capture and would not change back

Steps to reproduce:

1. Login.
2. Start OBS:
3. Default Scene is with Game Capture = Game displayed.
4. Change to different Scene ( e.g Full Screen Camera )
5. Change to Default Scene with Game Capture = Game Not Displayed

To get it back I have to log out and in again. Restarting Minecraft or OBS won't clear it.
