OBS not recording fullscreen window properly

I'm having issues with OBS not correctly recording some video. This is a new setup on a new computerI am running a brand new install of 27.2.3, and as far as i can tell SE.Live has been removed.

When OBS is the focus everything captures fine. When I make Retroarch the focus OBS will capture Livesplit, my channel logo and Computer audio fine but for the full screen window capture (RetroArch) OBS will see and record a static image. When I tab out of full screen so i can see OBS it will start recording agaiin, but when I go back to full screen in retroarch OBS just records whatever the new still frame image is untill I tab out of the emulator to OBS again. Recorded a tiny bit for example. https://youtu.be/S_GDjB1RmOY First part is with OBS the focus then when the image freezes Retroarch is the focus. You can hear the game audio but image no longer updates. I have been searching for possible causes and fixes with no luck so any suggestions on the cause and how to fix would be appreciated.

retroarch is not a program with a known compatibility issue and the emulator and gamerecorded fine on my prior PC.

I was having the same issue. I was using "Window capturing" and I thought it had something to do with my computer performance or something.

Using ether, the entire "Screen Capture" or "Game Capture" on "any full screen app" did the trick for me.
