Question / Help Problem with Elgato and OBS

Remedy

New Member
So I have been using OBS to stream for a couple of months and have had no problems, until now. Now when I stream, either the game will freeze at one frame on stream while it still moves on my tv or it will say "no signal" then go to the "one moment" screen about 2 or 3 times then be fine (which messes me up while playing as I get multiple black screens). My stream isn't frozen because my webcam and mic still broadcast just fine, and if I have the Elgato hooked up while not streaming I don't have the "no signal" issue. I contacted Elgato support about this and they said they knew nothing of this issue and that it would be an issue with OBS. Anyone have any fixes or have this problem as well? Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
