Black screen capture in obs-studio with nvidia when app uses CSD

Hi,
I use gnome 42 on X11. I installed obs-studio from official repositories [OBS Studio - 27.2.3-1 (linux)] and installed all dependencies with linux-headers to compile modules. I have hybrid laptop: amd-nvidia. I use envycontrol to change between different graphic modes. When using integrated mode or hybrid mode and launch apps with integrated graphic, all apps are captured perfectly fine. But when using nvidia graphic, apps that use their own CSD (like Microsoft Teams, Steam and for some reason gnome-terminal) are black square. The error is:

error: xcompcap: cleanup glXReleaseTexImageEXT failed: GLXBadPixmap
error: xcompcap: cleanup glXDestroyPixmap failed: GLXBadPixmap

I've read that it's nvidia fault that it's not working properly on mutter (from here I know that it only affects mutter manager) and that they should fix it. But for now I would like to make that apps also capture fine. I know about this workaround, but I would like to know if you happen to know better solution for this or if you managed to fix that.
Looking forward to your replies
