Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in OBS Studio 29.1.3 with Display Capture set to “Windows 10 (1903 and up)” and a Windows Terminal window using the Acrylic effect. Compare the result with “DXGI Desktop Duplication” and inspect the linked OBS log; done means the artifacts and flickering no longer appear with the affected capture method.
