Hello! Need some help :)
What I want: fullscreen game with game capture, some flash-based stream in background captured by window capture with Aero enabled. Should be working (and work previously on custom chat program). But now I have active game and freezed frame from stream window or any other window. Something changed in OBS for last 3 months? Because even after fresh install Windows I have same problem.
P.S. Windowed game with game capture working perfectly.

Hmm, normally if you only have one monitor and switch to a fullscreen application, the desktop "behind" it stops rendering, to free up ressources. So that normally leads to the problem you encountered and why it works fine in windowed mode.

I am actually not totally sure why it worked earlier for you. Are you on Windows 7 and have aero currently active or inactive?

Yep, it's Win7 with enabled Aero. I always count that as a feature of OBS because his window capture module based on Aero features :)
But thank you, you give me idea to workaround wtih virtual monitor :)
