I DO!! It's because you didn't bother read the top posts in the forums about getting help! You ALSO didn't bother to post a log!

Sorry.. i thought maybe this is a well known problem and i doesn't need to post a logfile.
problem is when i want to capture the window of the game (WWII Beta) i get a black screen (PUBG works fine)
then i tryed the "display capture" from my 3rd monitor and realised that OBS just shows the 1st and 2nd monitor

but here it is ;)

EDIT: here's what i did for now.... my gaming monitor is running with my 1080ti and the other 2 are pluged in the internal card. what i did is to put the gaming monitor as No1 (1080ti) and not the other one (internal)
OBS is now just showing my gaming monitor and i can capture it.
not the best but it is a solution ;)

All the monitors need to be running on the same GPU, in this case the 1080Ti, for best performance and compatibility. I would strongly recommend that you move all monitors to the GTX 1080Ti.

Also one should almost never need Display capture to capture a game (there are a few exceptions).

this statement is erroneous
my old system is running 3 monitors and gives me the option to pic from any of the 3, 2 are connected to gfx1 and 1 connected to gfx2
