OBS Studio

[Alpenwolf]

Been using OBS Studio for a month and today I wanted to use it for the first time in DCS. Turns out when in game all I get is a black screen with the DCS logo in the middle of it. The audio is there, but no footage. Any one familiar with this, please?

If you can post your DCS Log files might shed some light on the problem if there are some errors. Also a little explanation of how it happened will help others figure out what might be going wrong.

 

Thanks look forward to trying to help you out alittle if I can.

The game runs flawlessly, so the log files wont do you any good. I might've failed to highlight the issue here. The black screen with the DCS logo in the middle of it is what I get in the recorded video. However the audio is there. So when I exit the simulator and go back to the desktop (while still recording), the desktop and any other activities are recorded, seen and heard. It's like DCS is refusing to export any footage for the recording programme; OBS Studio.

 

 

I hope, I made it clear this time :smilewink:

Hmm. That's weird, Thanks for clearing it up for me. Maybe ask in the Bug section or something this is weird.

Works here..

 

Is it starting with Admin rights?

 

Is it in screen capture or program capture?

Yes, "run as administrator" is checked.

 

 

Probably programme capture. DCs runs just fine. It's the recorded video that is missing the footage and shows only the black screen with the DCS logo in it.

Have you tried running borderless windowed mode and using screen capture? Some games require you to do things like that.

Just looked up the settings and tried out some options. Didn't work. Not sure I checked/unchecked the correct option for that. Do you know where it is?

In DCS you want full screen unticked, and your screen resolution set the same as your monitor resolution. That should run in borderless windowed.

 

In OBS you want a Display Capture source for the monitor on which the game will be displayed.

 

I've just tested it and it works perfectly for me that way.

I use Game Capture and the following settings for DCS:
