Question / Help Game Capture freezes when I alt tab

[Pip]

Hi Everyone. I need your help.

I'm currently using a Lenovo Legion Y520, OBS 22.++. I stream DOTA and HOTS. When I play in Dota and stream and do an alt tab, I can see the Game Capture doing well in a sense that it does see the game and it's actually moving. On the other hand if I do play HOTS, I play the game and stream, it's all good. Until I alt tab, on the other hand, the game capture freezes until I return back in the game.

Help!

Depending on the game engine and the Displaymode (Fullscreen / Borderless Window), that behavior is normal in some games.
You could try to change the games displaymode to see, if that helps.
As far as I know, this totally depends on the game itself and the displaymode (and it changes, if you disable the fullscreen optimizations of windows for the specific game exe file), so nothing that you could change in OBS.

It worked when I switched to Window fullscreen. <3
