Recording/Streaming with OBS?

[Lord Ethcaz]

Anyone been able to set it up properly, without using window-capture?
I wanted to try Game Capture, but it only gives me a black screen and audio.

Worked fine for me using classic OBS and game capture, dunno about Studio though.

Which version OBS do you have?
I dunno what 'studio' is... As far as I know, I have just OBS :P

used game capture with obs and everything worked just fine.

Hmm, I don't get it.
I tried with both the newest classic OBS (the one I had installed) and Studio. Both show a black screen with audio.
I'm using the 'default' settings that allowed me to record other games fine - recently recorded Mirror's Edge Catalyst and The Division with it. No problems.

Can you guys tell me if you changed some settings in the video settings of OBS and what checkboxes you have set for the source?
I have a dual monitor setup, but that hasn't caused any issues with other games...
My mate has the same result I have, except he's tried Shadowplay, but was able to record playing in windowed-mode (which I haven't tried).

I honestly didn't need to change any of my settings from my basic streaming layout, I just popped the game capture into the scene and went from there. I'd say double check to make sure you're using the right GPU in your Video settings if you're using multiple ones, as well as making sure the game is set-up properly in the game capture and that you have the capture on. If not any of that, then I'm not sure.

Hmm, sucks... Cause all of it is set up properly, as far as I know. Basically, I just changed 'Mirror's Edge Catalyst' to 'Necropolis' and pressed 'Start streaming'.
Should've worked, if you ask me...

I found the problem.
I am using AMD R9 series, which apparently doesn't work well with OBS and OpenGL. By setting Multi-adapter Compatibility in OBS Studio, it now captures fine.
This option was not available (or hidden somewhere else) in classic OBS.

For those reading this at a later time:
Right click Game Capture (source) -> Check Multi-adapter Compatibility.

sometimes the problems are tied to windows areo as well, glad you found a fix
