There is a game i have, i have 2 different installs one on steam and one standalone and both are named the same thing, (see picture of name twice in obs game capture window selection drop down box). What im trying to do is set my 2 games to there own game source, (1 named main the other is Alt). My problem is both options no matter what one you pick the top or bottom one in the drop down box shows the same game what ever one i opened first, I guess what i need is to rename one of the games but i dont know how to do that, or is there a way to have them on there own track (just like audio) and then i can set them to there own game source?

You need to change the window title of your games, so OBS can identify both separately. Autohotkey is a tool that can do this renaming, however you need to create a corresponding Autohotkey script for your specific game and setup yourself if it hasn't been done before.
