OBS is only recording game audio

Hi,

I've been trying to record game footage of eFootball 2024 and for some reason OBS only records the game audio. I've tried several different games and OBS records both audio and video for the other games, but not eFootball 2024. I've tried recording in Administrator mode and still OBS only records audio only. Bellow is the link for the log file. I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me figure out why this is happening. Thank you

Below is the correct log file. I posted the wrong one in my original post

The log you provided that you claimed to be correct did not have the game capture source set to capture your game, but instead was set to capture windows explorer.

Thank you for your response. I'm new to recording and I don't know how to set the game capture source to game. Would you be able to tell me how to do this? I never changed this setting for my other videos, how come OBS recorded both audio and video for those ones?

Unfortunately, we cannot see any detail about how the encoder dealt with the input, because you use custom ffmpeg output.
It seems you're trying to record HDR.
Make sure you're using a media player that understands a HDR encoded video.

In case you want to enable us to see more from the encoding process in the log, don't use ffmpeg output mode.
For HDR, you need to use a 10-bit capable encoder. As far as I know, the one that's working is HEVC.
So switch to simple output mode, choose "Indistinguishable Quality" for recording and choose "Hardware (Nvenc, hevc)" as encoder and try again.
HDR recording is still an adventure - I suggest you don't record HDR but downsample this to standard SDR video until you get "some" video, then go from there and refine your settings.
