HELP OBS IS NOT WORKING

[OVKHuman]

I've downloaded OBS to do some recording footage of my game, the problem is my recording is black. No my screen never turns black, what I am saying is when I record a 13 min heist video the video is there, I have a 13 minute of blackscreen video

No other recording sources work either

I got my voice recording to work but my screen is still black

Probably set it in OBS to record the specific Payday 2 window. Do you have it to just record the screen?

What you gotta do is get PD2 off fullscreen
When the game is in fullscreen it wont record
Set it to windowed and it will work

Huh, do this then. Edit: Didn't see your previous statement. Unfortunately, I don't know how to fix that so I guess I'm going

Create a sources > Properties >
Set Mode to "Capture a specific window."
Set Window to [payday2_win32_release.exe]: PAYDAY 2 (might have to have the game open first)

Start Recording.

Screen might be black or frozen when you switch to OBS (set it on a second screen if you have one so you can watch it playback). Should work normal when you switch back.

If you intend to record and go back and forth I recommend windowed mode for Payday 2.

Make sure you run OBS as an administrator. Otherwise it won't record.

Ive done the first part correctly

2nd part i think you mean that small pause when i "quit" Payday 2, so when I press the window key right? So my voice records so i know the recording is playing for sure, but my voice is in a black background when I play back the footage in my video's folder

Tomorrow im gonna try making payday 2 small and see if obs notices my changes

Yeah but wouldn't the OBS forum be the place for this thread?

You're asking for a LOT of thinking

Ensure that your hotkeys are set for RECORD, not STREAM. Also, use a combination of two hotkeys to start and end, since single button hotkeys may be overridden by Steam's other hotkeys. I suggest CTRL + HOME and CTRL + END for start and stop respectively.

Don't forget to define an output folder as well. Game Capture should work with Paydie 2.
