Game Capture and Window Capture Sources Gone

I was testing something out so I had uninstalled OBS on Bazzite, but I saved all my user files. Ended up not working so I went ahead and reinstalled it via the Bazzite software manager and all of a sudden the game capture option is just gone. The only option is screen capture, which isn't exactly helpful when you have to swap screens while streaming. This happened on the Mint version too.

Why does it keep deleting this when the app gets re-installed??

Window capture is under Screen capture. It should offer whether to capture a screen or a window.

Game capture on Linux is a 3rd party plugin.

I figured it out. It's that, when you first install OBS on Linux Mint from the software manager or Bazzite from the Bazaar, it auto-installs certain plugins. But, if you uninstall and reinstall it, the plugins do not get auto-installed again and have to be manually added
