Question / Help Unique Graphical Glitch when recording/streaming

Hello, OBS has been a fantastic tool for me to get along with for getting into the speedrunning community, and I've encountered 0 problems; except when I record/stream Spore.

All I have for reference is a vod that captures the peak of the graphical error during a loading screen transition, but this graphical glitch occurs during regular gameplay in every stage of Spore's regular gameplay.

As you can see in the screen, some of the weird images on screen resemble the cell parts (the giant mandible in the top right corner, overlayed twice).

The crash at the end of the stream is related to my computer not being fond of Spore, what I want to know is what steps I can take to prevent this horrendous graphical glitch from occurring again?

Some important instances I've noticed: It occurs most heavily when other in-game graphics are being used (menu screens, scroll-over info, etc.), particularly during the space stage

It begins to horrifically mar the screen with this bizarre graphics glitch as soon as I scroll over the nearing civilization and try to communicate, leading me to believe this is involved in some way, because it goes away after it's moused-over for a few seconds.

Again, there is no log in particular because there's no crash or anything to report, it's just a really weird correlation on OBS's end (the game screen is 100% free of this graphic glitch on my end, but I can see on my OBS preview screen that it's producing this glitch).

It produces this glitch whether I'm recording or streaming live or previewing. If there's any info I can reproduce on OBS's end to give more info please let me know.

I have had this glitch occur with me as well. It seems to load up the skins of creatures, and occurs mainly when either in paint mode in the creator, when the game is rendering a new creature, after exiting the creator while saving, during loading screens, and when you start a new game.

I was doing a few tests with it, and it seems that if you make a window capture source and have spore as a window, the glitch will not occur.

This solution worked in preview streaming, I'm hoping it will stick! Thank you so much
