OBS seems to be a really awesome free program to record the computer screen and I love it. Once I figured out how to get it to work, and how to tweak the settings for some games over others to get the best performance, it seems fine. ... Until Morrowind and Oblivion.
I'm very confused why they won't work. Skyrim *will* record fine but those two games won't. With the other games on my laptop, hitting the Alt+Tab will bring me out of the game smoothly so I can return back to OBS and hit the record button. But with those two games, hitting those buttons to get out of the game doesn't seem to act right either. I originally recorded it (like all the other games) with the Game Capture option. I then changed it to Monitor Capture option. I also put the recording as a hotkey. Nothing. Usually, the game will shutdown and give me this message that it stopped working. I don't know why those two games act differently than the other games I have.
I'm sorry if I didn't do the log file correctly .... I don't know where the "code" button is ..... but I just copy/paste it in the actual post.
