Question / Help Game Capture doesn't work on Killer Instinct for Windows 10

[OG See OH Zee]

I don't know if it's because KI is running in DX12 or something. I know overlays and hooking don't work in Gears of War Ultimate Edition but it could be because it's DX12.

Log file just in case: https://gist.github.com/c22c063fc251236b06bbd8a1b50e556a

You can't game capture windows store apps nor DirectX 12.

I can also confirm that it's not possible to window capture Windows Store apps either, regardless if it's in window mode or not.

I keep finding threads for this saying you have to use display capture and its possible but no reason why it is not possible. Love to try to find a way to make it work, as display capture is less than ideal for any game capture experience.

Anyone know the exact reason reason why these capture methods won't work anymore with win 10 apps and directx 12 stuff? What changed? we can start working on a fix for the issue if we start answering those questions instead of screaming "use display capture" everytime someone makes a thread about it. Thats a work around, we're trying to a fix for the non capture issue.

You need to speak to Microsoft about this :-) Maybe Jim is working on a fix but the problem is caused by the UWP application design. UWP makes it impossible for thread injection to work, I believe that this is the mechanism used by OBS to capture in Game mode. This application model is actually causing a few problems outside of capture as well for instance you can't use Nvidia control panel to cap frame rates or apply AA to UWP applications because of the design.

DirectX 12 Support will come eventually, but UWP apps will stay a problem until someone figures out how to properly capture them with a hook or something, at the moment Display Capture is the only working way to capture them, like it or not.

DXtory can do it, so it must be possible.

Yeah I can use Dxtory to capture it and output as raw cap via directshow into obs as a camera.
