Question / Help OBS offsets screen when doing monitor capture

[DaveB]

I've attached a screenshot of what I'm talking about. Basically the capture area looks like it starts about 400 pixels to the left of the actual monitor space. I suspect this is because my primary monitor is 2560x1440, and OBS isn't set up to account for such a large desktop. I don't see anywhere in the settings where I can adjust for this, but hopefully it's an easy fix.

I can sort of get around it by doing a window capture, but that works for some programs and not others. Manga Studio for instance offers many different window options to capture from, I assume because of how it handles the tool palettes, but none of the actually capture anything.

Any suggestions?

This is a bug in OBS. Try setting your UI scale to 100% (Smaller) in display options. The option to look for in Windows is called "Change the size of all items" under "Display" in Control Panel.

Unfortunately that's how my display is already set.

I think I've got it fixed though. Setting up a Global Source seemed to fix it, but the next time I booted OBS the offset was back, but if I went to the global source and chose a different display then back to the monitor I wanted to capture, it's grabbing the whole thing now. We'll see what happens next time I use it.
