Hi,
today I tried to record my Dishonored runs and I noticed, that livesplit window isn´t doing anything. After I start the game, it seems like they stopped, by they work, just on background. Is there any way, to capture window while in fullscreen? I have laptop, so I cant really have another monitor. Im just recording, not streaming.
edit: If there´s no way to do that, I don´t really mind, but it would be good to have splits in video.
 
If a game runs in fullscreen mode, windows behind it will stop rendering, thats how windows does it. But you can run your game in a borderless window mode, that way it will still look like a fullscreen game to you, but the livesplit window should also still render.
 
Thanks for the reply, how can I do borderless window and does it lower my FPS?
edit: Is there any way to make low resolution game bigger?

Newer games often have that option in their Video Settings, sometimes its enough to turn off Fullscreen Mode, or sometimes you can switch between Fullscreen, Windowed and Borderless.
Older games need an external tool that can run in the background and make your game Borderless, there are a few different tools available to my knowledge:

Some games will also change their resolution to fit to your Monitor size if you put them borderless, or you could in theory increase the size in OBS (but this will degrade quality). Its best if you can configure the game to a higher resolution.
