Question / Help Recording Offensive Combat

I'm trying to stream Offensive Combat, but I can't figure out how to set the game as one of the sources. The game is played in a web browser, which I can record, but as soon as it goes full screen OBS no longer captures it and instead captures the browser in the background. Any help would be appreciated.

if you're doing monitor capture it should be no problem, however you might also be able to do window capture if you can press alt+tab when the game goes full screen.

Monitor capture doesn't record the fullscreen game, and alt-tab makes the game go back into the browser window.

Use your browser as the window capture, and then select an area (The game).

Since the fullscreen game opens a separate window, recording the browser doesn't work. It just shows the browser with a black box where the game would be if I were running it not full screened.

how can monitor capture not capture the game ? does it flicker or does it show nothing (black) ?

if you're on windows 7/vista disable aero and make sure to check "capture layered windows" when adding monitor capture.

Here I made a quick video to demonstrate what I'm talking about:

(Sorry about audio balance, didn't realize it was awful until I finished recording)

Yes I have Layered windows enabled.
No I can't use game capture because the game entity doesn't exist while not full screened, and alt-tabbing minimizes the window.

I had a problem with this game and fullscreen. To record in full screen you can not have the video settings on max for some reason.

Might be difficult to capture for the time being.. I want to implement a "hotkey" capture for game capture so you don't have to select a dumb window every time. It's admittedly extremely annoying to have to do that
