Desktop Version of VR Game Comes Up As Black Screen in OBS - But Window Capture is Fine

    Let me know if there is a better place to post this!

    MyDream's new Siege Hammer game seems to have an issue with being displayed in OBS for broadcasting. Window Capture works (despite being fullscreen), but Game Capture gives me a black screen. Also, when the game loads up, I see the monitor behind where the game shows up for a moment before it loads, as if I were using Monitor Capture.

    - Is this the usual functionality that occurs for an Oculus and Vive playable game that has a build made when VR is disabled in the Player settings?

    - Is there something we can do to make Gameplay capture work instead of needing Window Capture?

    Thanks!

    I think that this is actually a lighting issue that is caused by either linear or gamma lighting. (Cant remember which one). If you go to Edit > Player Settings > Other settings > Colour Space - You can set it to either "Linear" or "Gamma". Set it to whichever one is not currently set, and I think that will solve your black screen in OBS.
