• Vulkan capture requires VK_EXT_external_memory_dma_buf (NVIDIA driver >= 515.43.04)
• OpenGL GLX capture doesn't work with NVIDIA driver

Cannot create EGLImage: Arguments are inconsistent

If you get this error with Vulkan capture, try starting the game with OBS_VKCAPTURE_LINEAR=1 environment variable.

If you are on X11, make sure you run OBS with EGL enabled: OBS_USE_EGL=1 obs.
