Question / Help Cancel minimisation when starting clip

[aleixoteixeira]

Hey guys. First off I wanna thank everyone involved for providing us with this amazing software, free of charge.

Here's the deal, I've been playing a lot of FPS games and I usually have OBS running on the background. Most of the time I'm playing, I'm recording. I've been collecting a few clips to make a montage, and I've been taking advantage of the record/stop shortcuts. The thing is, whenever I press the record key, the OBS window pops up and my game is minimized. Is there any way to make it so that my game doesn't minimize while I'm playing? (I always stop after I record a scene that I think I'm going to use later, to make the editing easier).

Thanks!

I know this isn't what you're asking about, and I think it's a valid request, but have you tried the latest test build with replay buffer saving? It's basically just like Shadow Mode, where it records the last X seconds/minutes and you can press a button to save that to a clip.

I haven't tried it but this would definitely help. Thanks for the answer (and if possible, please consider including an option to not make the OBS window pop up over the other running programs when you press record).

Keep up the great work, you guys rock!
