Hey there,
So I'm having a bit of a problem with my Game Capture, specifically with capturing Steam games. I looked through https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/laptop-black-screen-when-capturing-read-here-first.5965/ but that seems to apply to laptops. I'm experiencing problems on my desktop. With that in mind...
Here is a copy of my log:
I'll try to explain the issue as best as I can.
Basically, I am trying to stream a Steam game. Specifically, I am trying to stream "Transistor". When I add a Game Capture for Transistor, it initially works. If I close OBS and re-open it, the Game Capture scene dedicated to Transistor will go black. It gives me an error that "window is not found". If I go into the Game Capture properties and refresh it, then the game will sometimes reload, and sometimes it will not. Also, Game Capture only captures Transistor if I am playing it in windowed mode. If I play it in full-screen mode, then it will not work. Also, if I alt+tab out of the game, then the stream goes crazy and turns black.
In contrast, I have a number of Blizzard games that do not have this issue. I have tried Diablo 3, Starcraft 2, and Hearthstone. Whenever I start those games up, the scene will load without issue. In this example, I loaded up Diablo 3 and OBS captured it without any difficulties. The same happened with Hearthstone. I also do not have difficulty with League of Legends, although I do have a plugin specifically dedicated to streaming that.
What I want to determine is: why is OBS failing to detect Transistor, and other Steam games, when I either (1) close and re-open a Steam game while OBS is still open, or (2) close and re-open OBS while the game is still open.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
