Currently, Overwatch 2 and CONTROL are the sole titles where the OBS preview remains invisible (black screen). Recording and streaming them also only display a black screen. I've configured OBS with admin privileges and am using the 64-bit version correctly. It’s puzzling why these games aren’t showing up, particularly Overwatch 2.

It seems like you're questioning whether the mechanics of Overwatch and Control align well. Are you looking for a comparison or more details on their systems?

Indeed, all other games function properly and are free from this problem.

Used random suggestions like disabling overlays and adjusting settings. Applied MSI afterburners Riva Tuner, checked stats overlay. It seems e-sports titles may block overlays. CSGO might prevent MSI from showing them. I’ll update this if it helps resolve the problem.

It's quite amusing. I disabled the overlay and listened for a while, then switched it back on. It appears to work without any issues with the preview or recording.

I rebooted both applications and the problem remains unchanged. Running MSI Afterburner once the game starts and then OBS appears to fix it. I can turn on the overlay after the game launches, but it still needs manual activation each time.
