Galeprime Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 So I'm trying to stream myself working on client projects using OBS Studio (streamlabs version or core version) Sadly I cannot seem to get display capture to show ANYTHING and window capture will show affinity photo but it will not show docked/floating windows :/. I've tried a lot of things including running everything as admin and still cannot get it to display. Anyone here running OBS and affinity that can help? Thanks in advance Galeprime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted September 26, 2018 Staff Share Posted September 26, 2018 Hi Galeprime, Welcome to the forums We've had reports previously of the canvas not drawing/floating windows etc when using a window capture source for the Affinity exe and our devs are looking into this, but the display capture should work correctly for the desktop, and therefore Affinity. When using a Desktop Source, can you see any other open applications except for Affinity, or does the display capture source show nothing? If it's the latter, I'd recommend restarting your machine and launching OBS before launching Affinity. Do you see the desktop/apps correctly now? And if you launch Affinity does OBS correctly record? Could you please confirm what graphics chip/card you're using? I'd also recommend making sure your graphics drivers are up to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galeprime Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 Hi Dan, Thanks for replying! When using a desktop source I get a black screen (see capture1) When using window capture I get the main persona but anything loaded and docked/floated within doesn't show up on OBS (see capture). I'm on a laptop with the following spec: Windows 10 64 bit CPU Intel Core i5 @ 2.50GHz 50 °C Kaby Lake 14nm Technology RAM 12.0GB Dual-Channel Unknown @ 1197MHz (17-17-17-39) Motherboard ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.

Staff Dan C Posted September 26, 2018 Staff Share Posted September 26, 2018 No problem, thanks for all the info. I'd recommend following the fixes found at the following link, as the black Display capture is usually due to having an external GPU. https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/wiki/Laptop-Troubleshooting Galeprime and Patrick Connor 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galeprime Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 Hi Dan, I did the Display Capture fix and by god it actually worked! Obviously I'd prefer to use Window capture so I wouldn't need to worry about showing my entire screen and everything I have open to viewers. BUT this is a work around until something is patched in or figured out! You're a legend Dan C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted September 26, 2018 Staff Share Posted September 26, 2018 Glad to hear it! I'm not sure what causes the canvas issue when using Window capture, but our devs are aware and are looking into it Thanks, happy streaming!

chaver Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 I have the same problem but i have amd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy1734 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 There is a way to do this. It is available for Windows 10 1903 and up. If you add a Window Capture choose Capture Method "Windows Graphics Capture (Windows 10 1903 and up)" This works for me Dan C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
