Recording with OBS [Common Infected and other missing textures]
Hi! I'm trying to record with OBS because I wanted share my RE maps run with my friends. But for some reason, the Common Infected don't have textures (completely black) and there are some areas throughout the map where it's just black with very little textures.

When I'm playing the game, there's not issue, the issue is with the video being capture by OBS.

I'm new to OBS and would appreciate any help, thanks!

That was axtually very weird. Have you tried recording with Shadowplay or Steam Recording Beta instead?
Let me guess, the issue starts to appear when you tab out the game to start OBS.
When this is the case i can send u a keybind to fix it

Are you doing game capture, window capture, or screen?

Game capture, and it's set to the specific L4D2 screen.

Surprisingly(?) no.

I noticed the issue after I was watching the replay. Because only certain textures are missing, you can still see everything except for the the common infected (common infected is completely blacked out, but you can see blood and guts) and certain areas in the map (so, like, I can see the entire corridor leading to Room A, but Room A is mostly or completely black (except for my arms and weapons)).

So, I just checked and Shadowplay records things as you see them in-game. The missing textures (idk how else to call em) is only when I recording via OBS.

I'll try Shadowplay those. The only other screen recorder I've tried comes with the Nvidia Overlay, and that worked okay capturing everything (last I check)
That would be usefull

Shadowplay and Steam Recording Beta worked really well recording the video. The missing textures are OBS only for some reason.
