It does NOT want to detect ANY Unreal engine games all of a sudden nor some other games, it does not pick up skullgirls either despite it saying it does, NOTHING is showing up in the preview/stream.
Question / Help What the hell is going on with OBS?

Well here are two logs from today, was trying to figure out initially why obs wasn't broadcasting the matching fps of my game, was trying to launch other games to see if it was just the Witcher 3 and come to find out all of a sudden OBS just refused to show ANY Unreal engine game, which is weird because I was obviously streaming them just fine a week ago give or take.

Too many that I care to count, I don't see how that is an issue though.

Each game capture in a scene adds additional overhead, if it's left checked. Unchecked it wouldn't have it show up in the logs. So yes, that's a truly massive charlie-foxtrot of a scene. What the heck are you doing. Stahp.
Additionally, if one capture is capping a game, another can't. So if you have a dedicated per-game capture and a global hotkey capture, only one of the two will actually work.
You're running at a native 720p though your monitors are 1080 (in-preview squashing uses a VERY poor scaling method, and should be avoided), and are trying to run 720p@60 on 1850kbps.
I see many things that are issues with those logs. Too many to count.

I don't see what the issue is with the resolution has to do with anything, it's best resolution to get good visuals without a massive impact to my games. I've never seen any visual problem that you are alluding to in the preview window with my resolutions.
You don't even go into detail as to what is 'wrong' so I am just going to for the most part ignore your post, now unless you care to explain WHY apparently streaming at 720p@60 is such a BAD thing at 1850kbps(viewers have yet to complain about this and lets most people WATCH the stream).

1- Set your base resolution to your monitor, or whatever you're playing at. Use the downscale dropdown in the Video settings to do a full-scene downscale, which allows elements to alias into one another, maintaining better quality.
2- 1850kbps is going to provide middling-poor video quality at 720@30fps, much less 60. Severe artifacting, and is going to look like complete crap. Yes, it'll be watchable without much buffering at all. But dropping even to 30fps will allow a much better bpp density and provide a clearer picture; streaming 60fps is mostly numbers-wanking anyway outside of some specific technical use cases (sprite blitting on retro games for example).
You're using poor settings, and defending them as 'nobody has complained' when they will provide a stream quality poor enough that you may as well smear vaseline on the screen unless you're just playing Hearthstone.
So yes, good luck there. You're going to need it.
