OBS Black screen

[Sheltie]

Evening,

 

I always record my driving with the OBS recorder. A few days ago I updated OBS and it still worked fine for me, I still could film everything and make reports. But today it doesn't work, I did everything I do like usual but still no results. Does anyone know how to fix this? I already tried to run as admin.

Hello  @Sheltie,

 

do you have laptop or PC? If you have laptop, that is the problem why you can't use game recording and you are getting black screen. If you are using PC, try to disable your anti-virus and makse sure you have installed GPU drivers updated and DirectX.

Best Regards,

Hey!

 

Did you try creating a new source? Sometimes the source doesn't recognize that the program is running, so it doesn't record. At least that's what happened to me in the past.

Did you already try restarting your pc? Maybe that helps, if you haven't done it yet.

Greetings.

if you only have a black screen, it may be because OBS doesn't detect your game, if it is set to automatic detection. I did had this problem, but it would normally return to normal about a minute later. How long have you waited out?

Try this: Go to OBS and select your prefered Scene, then at the right, right click "Game Capture" and then "Properties". On Mode, select ETS2's executable (also, make sure you do so while ETS2 is running).  If everything goes right, it should start capturing directly from your game almost immediately, if not, wait about a minute or so. I hope this helps!

Kind regards.

Thanks for the help lads, started today the game and OBS and it works again. Pretty weird since I already restarted PC and game yesterday and than it didn't. Thanks again for the quick responds.
