Hey guys, i just notice than when i want to record a fullscreen game with screen capture i be forced to open OBS before launching game and then after launching i cannot alt+tab or OBS will produce a black screen recording. With game in Borderless mode this dont happen.

Is that a bug or is the way how screen capture works with Fullscreen?
 
You definitely shouldn't be alt+tabbing out of the game once recording is started, and you definitely should not be alt+tabbing out of the game to check to see if you're getting a black screen when dealing with fullscreen games.

Fullscreen games stop rendering when they minimize.
 
Other question, if it stop rendering why with game capture this problem dont happen, even alt+tabbing with a game capture and game in fullscreen things works fine when starting capturing again.

The problem with screen capture with fullscreen is not exactly it becoming black after alt+tabbings, but than if you alt+tab even after stopped recording and back to game after that screen capture dont work anymore creating black new recording while Game capture will make a new good video.

1st example Display capture: I launch game, dont start recording yet, then alt+tab and come back to game. Now i start recording and stop then there will be a totally black screen video.

2nd example Game capture: I do same thing launch game, dont start recording, alt+tab then come back to game. Now i start recording and stop, i go check recorded video and its pretty fine.
