Preview/recording messed up

[DustyShinigami]

Hi

First post here. Signed up to ask about this issue. I went to record a video and noticed the Preview window is all messed up, which ends up applying to a recorded video. It looks like it's trying to blend two screens together or something.

I've tried disabling and re-enabling the GPU driver, logging off and back in (I've not tried shutting down yet, but will do later as a last resort. Just wanted to see if there was a quicker workaround), I've tried checking for updates, which it says there aren't any, and I've tried playing with the preview options and resetting them to default. Another encountered this before and know of a fix?

I'm using the latest version of Windows 10 Home and, what I presume, is the latest version of OBS - 29.1.3 (64-bit)

Thanks

Oh. Here's my log file, too: https://obsproject.com/logs/gfrjYO2BpLFN5uKM

It seems your only source is some capture device called "Screen capture recorder". According to the name, it's probably not a real device, but instead some virtual device created by some 3rd party software, probably supposed to capture your screen, and it is probably not working correctly.

You don't need this with OBS to capture your screen. It's not part of OBS. Remove that source. Instead, add a "display capture" source that directly captures your desktop. Or, depending on what you actually want to capture, use window capture, or game capture if it is an app or game you want to capture. Window capture or game capture directly captures the main window of a single app, display capture captures everything visible on the desktop.

Hmm. I can't think what that could be. I don't really have anything running in the background except ShareX, but that's never been a problem all the time I've been using it.

But you're right - removing that and adding a new display source has got rid of the problem. Thank you. :D
