CS2 Brightness really low in Streamlabs OBS & OBS Studio

Help

Hi all,

I've seen other reddit threads about it but they got nowhere.

Essentially, I streamed CSGO using display capture with 0 isues.

CS2 However, forces the preview to be low brightness whenever I tab into the game. Below are some findings, I'm hoping someone has a solution.

Specs:

  • RTX 3070, Amd Ryzen 7 5800x3d, 16gb Ram, Windows 10.

​

  1. Both versions of OBS have the issue.
  2. I've tried running OBS as an admin.
  3. I don't use HDR or have a HDR monitor.
  4. Changing my brightness values ingame don't actually affect the brightness levels of the OBS preview at all.
  5. Changing resolution does not fix it.
  6. Playing the game in Windowed does fix it, however I would prefer to use fullscreen for framerate/input delay purposes.
  7. I don't have any filters on OBS. Recordings and actual output still display in the lower brightness.
  8. Game looks entirely fine on my main screen.
  9. I run at 1440x1080 stretched resolution in fullscreen.
  10. I don't want to use -allowthirdparty applications launch option, or insecure, I enjoy my trust factor.

​

Thanks guys for any help.
