OBS wont record fullscreen

As the title says, I am having troubles recording fullscreen games.

I have tried various guides online, but without luck.

Any solutions?

  1. Which OBS do you have? When you have the OBS Classic, you should consider using OBS Studio since it's the newer and more supported Version by now.
  2. What did you try so far? Since I don't know yet, I'll give you the basic answers:
  • Create a new source in your Scene with either: Window Capture or Game Capture.
  • When you use OBS Studio, be sure you don't use the "capture any fullscreen application" mode, since it doesn't really work (at least for me) and switch to "Capture specific window".
  • Now simply select the Window/Application you want to capture.
  • When you have issues using Window/Game Capture, try the opposite (Window to Capture, Capture to Window) since they capture differently and may have different results.
  1. What OS are you using?
  2. Are you graphic driver up to date?
  3. Is you OBS up to date?

Thanks for your response.

  1. I was using classic, but now I have both. Let's work with Studio if that is better.

  2. Game Capture: Tried both any fullscreen, and specific window (track mania), both with sound but no image. Window Capture: Can't find the Trackmania window. The Chrome window is black, and only shows the cursor. Screen Capture: Shows my entire screen, but still no fullscreen capture.

  3. Windows 10

  4. Yes

  5. Yes just downloaded it.

Hm ... you should try to run the program as admin if you haven't yet. If you can't do it with right-click run as admin: Open the Properties (Right-Click > Properties), then to Compatibility and then check "Run this program as an administrator" to run it as admin all the time. If that doesn't help, then I seriously don't have any idea anymore
