I recently got upgraded from Australia tier internet so now I can stream. Yay. I was doing a couple of tests a few days ago and eventually got everything working how I wanted it. I play games at 1080p and window capture only captures a quarter of the screen if you stream at 720p (my PC can't handle 1080p without massive stutter) so I was using game capture. I went to have dinner and when I came back, game capture went from capturing the whole screen to just a black screen. I've reinstalled, rolled back to earlier versions and made new scenes and sources multiple times, all to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have no clue what could have changed with my settings as I was eating dinner away from my computer and my cat doesn't know how to operate a computer so either my house is haunted or my computer is sentient and wants to screw with me or something. pls help ;(
Cheers.

If your game is on full screen, try putting it on windowed mode if it isn't already. Game Capture typically has issues with fullscreen.
Make sure you are using TF2 game capture as a global source.
Also, I'm assuming you know this already but just in case, if you add TF2 as a source, if will continue showing a black screen until you tab into the game.

I've been playing in windowed mode the whole time. When I had it working I didn't have it as a global source either. I probably should've mentioned this but when I tab back into the game the menu is frozen in the state it was when I tabbed out, but when I hover over things with my cursor or click things I still hear sounds but nothing changes on the menu. If I stream before launching the game, it crashes on the main menu as well.
Would you happen to be playing on a laptop? Last I checked (when I was experiencing the same problem) OBS' game capture would only output a black screen on them.
Have you tried using window capture?

Nope, playing on a desktop with 1 graphics card installed.
wareyamake sure the source is fit to the scene
Tried this but screen remains black and games still freeze/crash.

I'm soo late but i might help someone having the same problem.
1) Make sure you started OBS with the graphic card TF2 is running with (especially on laptops)
2) Try to run OBS as an adminitrator.
If the above solutions don't work, try switching game capture from DirectX to OpenGL.

I too am also late but I also had the same problem:
All I did to fix it was to go to my sources and pick the one recording Team Fortress 2 and use the red border lines to drag
the screen to where I want it to show (which was full screen)
Sorry for not being too informal but I hope this helps...
Respond to this for more info.
