Shadowplay CS2 black screen
Hi there, does someone know a solution for that issue?

I'm using Shadowplay from Nvidia for recordings. My specific issue is with CS2. In the Beta versions I was able to capture the screen without any problems, even when I tabbed out or changed settings in the graphic secrion. But since CS2 is officially out, I got the the problem, that once I tab out of the game or change anything in the graphic settings and start recording, the result is a black screen video with audio.

Can someone give any suggestions?

write -allow_third_party_software in launch options

Heya. Yes, meanwhile I fixed the issue and it works so far. All I did was I just updated my GPU driver. Not sure if this one was part of the success, but I also removed the "-allow_third_party_software" out of the launch option and retyped it in.

The recorded blackscreen issue was only in CS2 for me while other games were recorded with no problems.

I'm not sure about other clipping softwares, I mainly use Shadowplay
You could try to update your GPU drivers to the current versions

I removed it out of the launch options and retyped it in back again. But am not sure if that was helpful, because I updated my GPU driver at the same time.

It just turn off your trust factor. OBS working.

DDU - Delete videodrivers - Install new one

You don't need any -allow_third_party_software in launch settings, and -allow_third_party_software also turn off trust factor.

Okay, I've been playing. I saw that there were 3 updates in 3 days, maybe something broke, so I won't say that everything is working right now.

Checked. It's still working.

launch settings:
-novid -language english +exec autoexec.cfg

not sure that "-novid" actually working lol
"-language english" left from cs:go dunno how it works now, just to let CS works in english instead of OS language
autoexec contains cvars for viewmodel position (i hate default viewmodel weapons)
Driver 537.42 DHC
Experience 3.27.0.112
OS Win10 21H2 19044.1889 (w/o auto updates)

Experience works out of the box and in normal mode, replay is working too.

So my recommendation is to use DDU and install new drivers.
