Question / Help Game capture doesn't work, Window capture doesn't capture some windows.

[Artemas Phillips]

I've been told to use game capture, but it doesn't work on this computer. All the guides, and all the support I have seen others ask for haven't been much help.

But due to that issue, I've been forced to use window capture.
But that doesn't work either! About half of the windows I open cannot be recorded with obs, and when I set up a window capture trying to capture it, it'll show a random shot of what my desktop looked like a moment or two before.

It's getting frustrating being able to record about 3 games.
If you need relevant specs, ask me. I'm not sure what could help or not, though I'm pretty confident it's not a hardware issue.

I have the same problem.

I have Windows 7 and some times ago (before New Year) from the task manager, the Lineage II (game) icon in the application's tab was disappeared, it is only displayed in the processes tab. And after that, my OBS stopped capturing the game through "grabbing the game" and even through "window capture" (the game window is not displayed in the capture list). Reinstalled the video driver, reinstall the client of the game, reinstall OBS studio app, nothing helped. Only "screen capture" works. How to return the "capture window" / "capture the game"? and what less resource-cost capture a window or capture a screen? Also, when I start the game, when I capture the window and capture the game, the entire list of available windows disappears. And when the game is not running, when I capture a window, I have a list of available windows.
