Game video recording failing

4.5

Recording software (OBS, ShadowPlay) fails to capture the game.

Symptoms
  • Black screen in recording
  • Recording stops automatically
  • Low FPS in video
Possible Causes
  • Encoder overload
  • Game in Fullscreen
  • Privacy settings

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Use Game Capture

In OBS, use "Game Capture" instead of "Display Capture".

2

Run OBS as Admin

Allows the recorder to "hook" into the game process.

3

Switch Encoder

Try using "NVENC" (NVIDIA) or "AMF" (AMD) instead of CPU (x264).

When to See a Technician

If the recording is choppy, ensure you aren't maxing out your GPU usage (leave ~10% for the encoder).
