Problem Details: Every screenshot I take is completely black, I've tried changing the screenshot format but neither of them worked as intended. After restarting osu!, it works fine again.



Video or screenshot showing the problem:



osu! version: 20170222.3 (latest)

Well that's surely odd.

You wouldn't happen to have some kind of program running that puts an overlay on your game would you? I see you have a few things open on your task bar. Try closing everything other than osu! and see if they are still black.

Those programs are overlay for my stream but neither of them interact with osu at all, and I've been playing (while using those programs to show keys per second while streaming) for over a year now but that has never happened.

This problem occurred to me again today, I did some experimenting and found out it was the game capture in OBS (livestreaming software) that made osu! act this way. When I have it running (not necessarily streaming, just having the preview), every screenshot I take is pitch black, including ones uploaded using shift+12). I have been using compatibility mode until a few days ago, when Microsoft decided to update their display driver and completely f**king up my osu!. Because of that, I had to switch over to not using compatibility mode because osu! would not run when I have it on (see t/574019). Once I restart osu! without OBS running, the screenshots seem to work fine again.
