Tried going borderless window - Captures only first frame after applying the resolution in game.
Have MSI Afterburner running on my system - tried disabling, no effect, other games, Gun Monkeys for example, work fine with MSI Afterburner enabled.
Tried running OBS as admin - no effect.

Guys, this needs fixing ASAP, gotta keep the stream running, and my Crossfire rig doesn't go Crossfire without fullscreen in game.

Can provide any logs or files you need to stomp the bug.

Contact me via e-mail, gonna check the thread once in a while tho.

Crossfire / SLI is not well supported for capturing. Try disabling it. A log file is also useful.

Crossfire is the only thing that lets me produce well enough stream to look at it without sadness.I already figured out what the problem is - it was Fraps.I just completely forgot about it.Disabling Fraps helped.

I have another problem with the new release though - should I make a new thread for it? It seems like crf=0 is no longer working while doing local recording.Last version I did this to get a nice picture at the cost of enormous space usage - I just added crf=0 option, switched to ultrafast, and set VBV to 100000. This manner I was able to get a nice looking picture for further processing with enormous size but excellent quality (I know, it's ultrafast, but still the quality was hilarious) without any performance impact at all.

Now all I get is black screen when enabling crf=0 in MPC-HC player, and moving squares in VLC.Maybe something I done wrong?

EDIT:
nevermind, stupid me again.Wrong codecs on my rig prevented me from viewing the record OK.
crf=0 is working alright, appreciate the answer tho, R1CH) Sorry for flooding that much. Maybe somebody like me will find this helpful.

The updated x264 may have changes for lossless mode. You may have to wait for VLC / MPC-HC to update their decoders if they aren't compatible.

Problem was with codec settings in K-Lite, now it's working) Thanks for nice capture soft, keep rocking)

Btw, the problem with black screen in Dota and some other valve games may be in the FPS counter hook that's implemented in Fraps and MSI Afterburner - it's the same FPS hook in both apps.Maybe this will help to find some workaround for it, to prevent noobs like me from reporting the same thing all over the place)

We're hoping to improve the hook code to detect other hooks to give a better error than just a black screen in the future.
