Question / Help OBS not working at all

[Emmilylynn]

I have been having this problem for about a week now. It was working perfectly fine and then it just stopped. It will not stream anything. I can't stream not only League but also Skype or even webpages. I didn't mess with any settings for it to just not work. I have uninstalled it and erased everything to do with it to get it completely off my computer. I have asked people I know who know a decent amount about OBS and he couldn't figure it out. So Im posting hoping someone knows what to do to fix it. Its really annoying and frustrating :(

Does running the game in borderless mode and capturing it using window capture also doesn't work ?

You're not using game capture on te league of legends lobby are you? That would be bad. All I see in the log are two attempts at game capture. I don't see any monitor capture usage or window capture usage. Is it black screen? If possible please be as descriptive as possible.

I have tried running it in borderless but that just makes it laggy and awful. It doesn't sit right on my screen. Ive tried game capture for the ingame full screen client. It used to work before and idk what happened. Ive tried monitor capture and window capture. The screen is completely black but my webcam works and my mic. It seems like it's just an OBS issue. Noise doesnt work from the games either when I start streaming and the screen is black.

What do you mean by the "Noise doesn't work from the games either when I start streaming and the screen is black" Are you also having trouble with capturing the desktop audio ? Close OBS go this folder %AppData%\OBS and delete everything.. This will simply reset OBS.

I would like to see another log file if nothing changes after the reset.

The log you saw was after I reset OBS 3 times. Ive gotten it off my computer COMPLETELY. So if I start streaming, you can hear me through my mic but you can't hear anything on the desktop. I should have worded that differently above. OBS has a black screen when I stream and I even checked Twitch to see if it just was OBS that wasn't showing an image but that's not the case. It just doesn't work at all. I've looked up a ton of stuff on google like I said. Ive spent a week researching before asking for help.

Are you sure that you actually manually delete the %AppData%\OBS (the parent directory of where you can find log files) and not the "Program Files\OBS" folder ?
