Bug Report "Cannot Find Window" on Dark Souls (PC)

[ProfessorProf]

Repro steps:
1. Run Dark Souls through Steam in Fullscreen mode.
2. Open OBS.
3. Enable Game Capture source.
4. Start Streaming.

My result: OBS displays a black screen. Information at bottom of OBS window says "Cannot find window". In Twitch channel, video is empty but I can hear game audio.

Video card is AMD Radeon HD 5800. Display mode, for desktop and Dark Souls, is 1920 x 1080 (32 bit). Tried alt-tabbing back and forth and restarting programs several times, as that's gotten other games to work for me, but no luck. If Dark Souls is in windowed mode, OBS seems to work.

Log here.

When you 'Enable game capture source' you need to make sure you select the application to capture, in this case the Dark Souls application.

Right clicked Game Capture, clicked Settings. The Selected Application is listed as "[DATA]: DARK SOULS". No other Dark Souls application is on the list.

Wait. it's working now.

I don't know what to make of this, I didn't change anything.

You probably changed it by going to the game capture settings. It was likely set to some other application that was no longer running, so the list defaulted to the next available one which was Dark Souls.
