Hello.
My OBS studio is showing a black screen for anykind of Ubisoft games that are managed under uplay client... i can't even capture it on Window Capture .. when i try to capture the uplay client itself its shows also a black screen but i'm able to see the mouse cursor...

Both OBS and uplay are started as administrator.

Try running OBS as admin and/or disabling the Uplay overlay. Otherwise yes, post a log. Instructions are stickied at the top of the forum.

Sorry for the delay.

Here is the log : https://gist.github.com/anonymous/9cc5bd8ae67bfd534e7e3df14a09afc0

And here is the screenshot of the problem

As it shows i have only problems with the uplay client at all... even the uplay overlay disable doesn't help me :/ i cant catch client itself and any games i try .
2nd screenshot shows compare of steam and uplay... uplay can't be captured while steam is showed without problems

Like 1 or 2 weeks ago i was able to do this without any problems... i got this issue after the latest patch of uplay client. i wrote to ubisoft (i know its not their business to fix issues with OBS but they gave me some tips and forwarded me here)
