I've been trying to record some gameplay, but I can't get OBS nor OBS Studio to record any video, the thing is just black. Audio works just fine, I don't know what's wrong. Can someone help me?

Spookz, you just uploaded the same log 5 times, none of which actually show a proper attempt at capturing league.
You window capture the lobby and game capture the match.

ierele, what other games have you tried capturing so far?

@lerele Do you have logs there from your attempts to capture other games?
And why do you have aero disabled?

I hate aero, It's useless.

Any third party software installed (rivatuner, afterburner, any other capture software)?

Only Dxtory, but never before they gave me problems.
I have another pc, with same apps and I haven't any problems with obs.

Except it causes problems with OBS' game capture when disabled. Hate it or not, it's not useless.

For win7, Game Capture, full screen games? At least, I can confirm that it can cause performance lag for poor systems at some tasks: massive fps drop with obs open (no recording or streaming) but improve hooking or texture sharing for full screen applications?! Is it true? I mean, can you bring math or statistic to proof it? Have you test it with OBS Studio application?

As for capturing. Try to create new Scene Collection (if you updated from previous OBS Studio build, you can delete and recreate 'Game Capture' source). At least it helps me few times after Studio update. Don't know, maybe this the case.
If not, I will suggest you try to capture fr-043 demo and see able you capture something 3D or not. Game capture not working (under the spoiler).

I hope your OBS Studio's Preview is black, not video itself, yeah?

I have the same problems. I tried to record a video of teaching how to use a 3D modeling program but I don't think it even recorded my screen. With
Suslik V asking with having other capture software I have Screencast-O-Matic but that works fine so I don't know. I have searched for ways to do it but it is too confusing.

No two people in here had the same problem.

Not posting your OBS log makes me suspect you don't have the same issue either Soren.

Hello, I am having the same problem but dont have a NVIDIA graphics card or control panel. I can use the display capture normal but not the game capture, it is just a black screen.
