OBS + Windows 10 = black screen when I try to capture window :(

[Casinolandstreaming]

Hello,

Maybe someone can help me. Recently I updated my OS to Window 10 and I'm having an issue with OBS (I have the latest version). Every time when I try to capture Chrome window - I get just black screen. I think I tried all possible ways to fix it, and the only one worked: disable hardware acceleration in browser. But if I disable it - slots just stop working.

If anyone experienced the same problem and was able to resolve it - please, let me know!

Thanks!

Hey!

I assume you're not using 2 monitors am I correct?

Chrome does NOT work with OBS if you have HW accel turned on (single monitor setup). 

Instead, use Firefox or get yourself a 2nd monitor and then Display Capture, which will capture your whole desktop on 2nd screen including Chrome

Hey @Skylined87

 

I'm using to displays, but with hardware acceleration ON - Play N Go slots just don't load, asking me to turn it back :)

I think I will just follow your advice and start using Firefox instead of chrome :) 

Cheers!

Ok so if you have 2 monitor setup, go to your OBS and change to Display Capture instead of Window Capture, and capture the monitor you're playing slots at with HW on.

I think that's your "issue"

Yes, Display Capture works just fine, but If I want to play two slot games at the same time, I can't do it, I need Window Capture to show viewers two different slots (capturing two different tabs).

Thanks anyway, Firefox did the magic

I see what you mean. You want to be able to crop the multislot play hence the window capture so it looks better on stream  Then yeah, Firefox does the trick, although it might produce some "lag" on Thunderkick games (not sure though).
