Shadowplay Only Records Black Screen
I've had zero issues with recording NMS gameplay for the past 3 years on shadowplay. 5 days ago Nvidia decided it just doesn't wanna capture any footage from NMS. I have audio and the video file, just a black screen. Sometimes it doesn't even create the video file at all. Anyone else experiencing this?

I just tested. I was able to capture in game video/audio using Shadowplay without issue.

Win 10 64 bit
GTX 1080 Ti
Driver version 451.67

It must be something specific to your settings. Although I do not know what that could be.

Late answer, I know - but maybe it will still be helpful - if not to the OP to someone else looking for an answer.

This happens with games using certain border settings as a fixed state...
You can usually fix it by going into settings (alt-z if you haven't changed it), Privacy, and turning the slide option OFF for desktop recording.

You'll need to turn it back on for games like MineCraft, but once you know...

There is no such thing as Privacy > Desktop Recording on laptop though. What do? Since the settings here are very limited.
