I want to use Game Capture element to capture Celeste. It did not work. OBS is able to find Celeste.exe, but it did not capture.

I’ve tried to follow the official troubleshooting guide, did not work. Neither capture full screen nor specific window works.

My OBS version is 29.1.3

Edited: It seems that this only happens to Celeste. Hollow Knight works just fine (haven’t tested other games yet).
Edited 2: Thanks everyone! I’ve made it to work. See the comment.

    Just want you guy to know, I managed to have it working thanks to this Redditor.

    The issue here is that OBS and Celeste have to be running on the discrete GPU for Game Capture to work. I know this is also mentioned in the guide I referred, but initially, I only configured OBS to run on the discrete GPU. In my case, I also have to do that to Celeste, which is what I missed.

    I always thought Celeste was running on my RTX3050, but all this time it just ran on my Intel integrated GPU without me noticing difference… lol

    I found someone with the same issue that said they updated their drivers and that fixed it, so you could try to do that and restart your PC.

    I also found this: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/obs-wont-work-with-specific-game.151598/post-554981

    I have no idea if it would help, but if you’re on windows you could also try to switch to the openGL version of Celeste. I don’t know exactly what’s different, but it changes some libraries or something, so there’s a chance it’ll work. (Don’t quote me on that)

    You can change it on steam from Library -> Right-click on game -> Properties -> Betas

    Hope you get it fixed

    i always switch games to my nvidia gpu anyway because it adds a lot of capture options without having to open obs. obviously if you dont have an nvidia gpu this doesnt apply
