Question / Help The cause of these weird black boxes (pic included)

[DocBadwrench]

Here's a little segment from a Hearthstone recording I started making:

It looks fine when I'm playing it. And it's the same resolution as the recording and output: 1280x720 @ 30fps. No resource issues to speak of.

I updated the video drivers about two days ago, so I know that's not the issue. Here is my log file. Any pointers to head in the right direction are much appreciated.

I'm having a bit of difficulty even researching this problem. Since I don't think anyone has an actual solution, I wonder if any of you could help me naildown keywords in order to eventually find a solution.

"Black boxes" reveals incorrect results (almost exclusively aspect ratio / black bars queries). "Artifacting" has resulted in results that have to do with recording - quite similar to my problem - but mostly addressing the lack of sharp edges in traditional screen-vid capture. Nothing about these black 'regions'.

Thanks in advance.

What capture type are you using to capture hearthstone with?

 

[DocBadwrench]

Thanks for the response.

I'm using "Capture specific window" and then selecting the executable. This technique has worked without incident for all other games that I play.

In case it's relevant, Hearthstone is running in windowed mode (so I can capture stuff without lost real-estate [16:9] on my 16:10 monitor).

That's not what I asked.

Figured it out! Once I changed it to Game Capture, it works flawlessly.
