I'm using OBS to capture World of Warcraft. I find I have to alt+tab out of WoW to get OBS to capture the game. When it captures, it runs great and I'm really happy with it but it gets annoying to have to keep alt+tabbing to get it to capture.
This happens when running Full Screen mode. I can never get it to work with Windowed (Full Screen) mode which is unfortunate because it would make it easier to work with multiple monitors. If I use the normal Window capture when it's in Windowed mode, it works fine but the performance is horrible.
EDIT: I'm using the latest Intel graphics driver and I updated the DX runtimes.
