Hello,

 

does any one knows, what problem that is?

 

Im using Windows 7 64bit, OBS and want to stream Red Alert 2 (Like I did all the time). I didn't buy any new hardware. The problem is, when i put screen region on OBS and start streaming, it always goes black screen. But the music on Ra2 you can hear.

 

I can stream other games with game capture. No problem. Also when im streaming on screen region i can see my desktop on the screen. Just not Ra2.

 

Here you can see what I already tried: https://www.twitch.tv/cncsteffster/v/65863838

 

It's really weird. Cuz ive streamed Ra2 for months without any problem. The only thing I did, was format c: some days ago!

 

Can any 1 help me? I also got teamviewer when some1 wanna try any things.

 

Thanks guys!

 

PS: I wanna stream QQ games :D

have you ever tried using monitor capture?

 

The same issues accour to me w/ my new desktop computer (i5 6600k and GTX 960). My solution was using the integrated graphics. (Iris Pro 530 insted GTX 960).

 

If I wanna play starcraft 2 - Geforce experience w/ GTX 960 works fine. (ra2 not)

I have installed the latest DirectX already.

 

Im using monitor capture. Thats how it worked for years! Only on 8bit armies im using game capture.

 

EDIT: With OBS studios its the same. Black screen and music is running :(

I did that already! Same problem.

I think it has something to do with my graphic Card. Since the latest Update on begin of Mai NVIDIA released a new update with 3D drivers.

Maybe i should try another graphic Card or reinstall an older driver.

Why don't you try to disable the gtx from the Computer Management interface? this will force ra2 to run using the integrated grafics.

No it wont run on integrated card if u just disable it @ device manager, u also need to use integrated video cards port for the monitor (now he is using geforce video card's port). Also he didnt mention his cpu , maybe he doesnt even have integrated video card.

Fact is that ive streamed since months with my pc and didnt change anything. So i think it can be only the driver of my Nvidia Card. Im trying an older version or just another graphic Card.

Right, the monitor cable need to be plugged on the motherboard port, however since he got gtx card i'm sure his cpu comes with a fine integrated gpu, so if he disable the gtx the integrated will be used by default (already tried it on laptop)

Another option is to use Nvidia Control Panel, go to Manage 3D settings -> Global settings -> CUDA - GPUs then select the integrated gpu, you still need to restart pc (this dosn't work with all games).
