Question / Help OBS stopped detecting AMD card

[Sassybawt]

hi everyone, I've been using OBS for two months now, it worked fine until yesterday when suddenly it wasn't detecting my AMD graphic card anymore and it only shows a black screen.
I've done my research and I know this is an occurring problem in laptops with switchable graphic like mine, and the only way to make it work properly is to activate compatibility mode... but it has never been the case with me, i never needed compatibiliy mode enabled and the card was detected just fine. And now it stopped all of a sudden? I tried forcing OBS on the gpu manually but still nothing. i hope you guys can help me.

card is an AMD HD 8330 and Os is windows 10 home

here is my log file: https://gist.github.com/37f3bd52177ecaf8c449a98c22010d1c

OBS is detecting the video card just fine.

Your log shows you not having any sources in your scene at all.

What games are you trying to capture?

oh sorry i might have pasted the wrong link!
here is the (hopefully) correct one: https://gist.github.com/a6c5bf21a725fefaacfd9f908588476f
the software I'm trying to capture is Krita.

It looks like Krita uses easyanticheat as its anti-cheat component. That currently actively blocks the most recent version of OBS.

And you should probably be using game capture rather than window capture to capture that normally.

Do blizzard games like Heroes of the Storm (one of their two free ones) capture properly with game capture?

Krita is not a game btw, It can only be properly captured with display capture afaik.

 

[Sassybawt]

but my problem is not whether softwares/games are captured properly or not. They are all captured properly. Except now that my AMD graphic card is not detected anymore as an encoding option, I have to rely on the integrated card with compatibility mode activated, and even at the lowest resolution, the videos come out laggy. I just want OBS to detect my graphic card again, as i said i know this is a known problem when it comes to laptops like mine but i can't believe it worked so fine and now it stopped like this all of a sudden, I have yet to find anyone who has encountered the same issue...

That's a case of your AMD drivers being outdated for the AMD Encoder plugin.

 

[Sassybawt]

so there is nothing I can do?

 

[Harold]

If you can't use the latest version of the AMD drivers, I don't think there is.

 

[Sassybawt]

forgive my ignorance, but what does that mean? that the AMD has updated to a driver that is not supported by OBS anymore?

 

[Willemsmith]

I have the same problem
Do I need to revert obs to a previous version?

 

[Harold]

You need to update your AMD drivers from the AMD website. That's what this means.

 

[Sassybawt]

then I don't think there is much else to do because the drivers are already updated

 

[Sassybawt]

in alternative, are there any softwares that can capture a specific window?
