Overwatch 2 turns black anytime I try to capture it

Overwatch 2 turns black whenever I try to capture it. It is only the Overwatch 2 window, and it is only after I have entered a game. If I restart, I can only record up until the loading screen after I queue into a game. After this, it freezes on the loading screen (in the recording/capture software) and it captures my cursor movement. After a while of having OBS open in this state, there are cursors all over and the capture is just black. I am not sure when OBS switches from frozen to pure black. (Not sure if this is relevant at all, just trying to include as many details as I can.) It has been reported on the forums by someone who had a similar issue that using a different account seemed to fix it, and I have checked my overlays and don’t have anything that would interfere to my knowledge.

EDIT: I switched from window capture to game capture on OBS and it works fine.

are you using msi afterburner/rtss?

I checked when I first tried to solve the problem myself, and I wasn’t. However, I switched from window capture to game capture in OBS and it works perfectly fine now. Still can’t take screenshots the way I usually do though. I was using window capture cuz it worked better for what I had to record before Overwatch.
