Question / Help OBS shows Black Screen when previewing and streaming DayZ SA? HELP

[Padraig Fitzsimons]

When I go to stream DayZ Standalone using OBS 32bit it just shows a black screen in the preview area and when it streams to Twitch.

Here is my Log File for the session, if you could have a look and see if you recognize any faults or errors.

Ah, the error in the game capture hook log indicates that DayZ may be running on the intel adapter. Note how the intel adapter is the second in the list. Games default to the first adapter, most likely that's what's happening.

How can I change the game to my Graphics Card adapter then?
Any idea how?

The suggestions in the link you posted did not help at all! I am still receiving a black screen ?

Ah, I made a mistake, and assumed it was a laptop. You need to go in to OBS' settings and switch the adapter there. If it doesn't help, then I'm not sure what the problem is. All I can really say is that it almost assuredly stems from the fact that you're using two graphics adapters, which can cause capture conflict, and therefore black screens. It's not the nicest situation to deal with I admit, but I've provided pretty much every way to deal with it in terms of software (allowing the switching of the graphics adapters in video settings for example). How the drivers themselves handle it however is beyond my control.
