Hi, I came here as a last resort (ironically enough).

I've watched nearly every video and read every online forum and article that would be helpful and have spent time doing numerous things.

When did things start going wrong:
  • a few months ago my webcam just wouldn't display anything, but the mic from it worked so I was "okay" with it
  • now my game capture doesn't work anymore

What isn't working:
  • Game capture (full and specific window) and video capture device are showing a black screen
What is working:
  • Display Capture
  • Desktop Audio and Mic/Aux from my webcam
Here are my specs:
  • OS: Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit
  • Current OBS version: 64 bit, Windows 7 (21.1.2)
  • CPU: Intel i5-4590
  • Mobo: ASRock H97M Pro
  • GPU: Asus - Radeon R9 290X
  • Webcam: Logitech HD Webcam C270

What I've tried:
  • Fresh install of OBS 21.1.2
  • Fresh install of Radeon Settings (v18.5.2)
  • Updated BIOS
  • Installing that AMD Encoder plugin from Xaymar
  • Running as admin
  • Compatability for Windows 7
