Bug Report Game Capture freezes

Ianuarius · Nov 19, 2013

I haven't really tried Game Capture that much but I now decided to give it a try since I saw some mod saying people should never use monitor capture if possible.

So my Game Capture froze twice.

You can see there round 13:30 the game capture is just a still until I finally notice it and refresh. Then it happened again later on the cast.

Excellent taste. I've been morrowind and the expansions like 3 times.

Avoid monitor capture on windows 7 and below, and on laptops.

You must be using a graphics mod for morrowind to load up in DX9+. What mod specifically?

In the mean time, is there a way to run borderless/windowed with the mod you're using at all? Because then you could just use window capture instead.

1) I've been streaming with monitor capture for like 12 hours with no problems. And other than freezing the game capture was working fine, too. I'd rather use that because then I can play full screen. 1280x720 on a 1600x900 resolution is still a bit lame. :)

2) I'm using Morrowind Overhaul that loads a ton of different mods. Not really sure what. It just installs everything as a package. No other mods, tho.

3) I haven't tried window capture ever. Or then I tried it once and it captured the borders or something. Idk, for some reason I've been avoiding it. Monitor Capture has been working extremely well.

Ah okay. Thanks for letting me know

Morrowind Overhaul changes a lot, and I believe it uses DirectX hooks to do some effects. For example, part of the install instructions involve disabling the Steam Overlay, which isn't a good sign for other apps that use DirectX hooking, like OBS does for game capture. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what is causing the problem.

Alright. Thanks for the reply. :)
Guess I keep playing it with monitor capture, then.

Tested out Starbound and Alt+Tabbing seemed to cause this freezing again:

Pretty much after 1:08:00 when I alt+tab it causes the freeze and then even the refresh didn't help cos Starbound beta jumps out of fullscreen when you alt+tab out and I had to reset it and... ugh... it was a mess. Had to restart the cast. :/
