Question / Help Window and Game Capture no longer works...

Esenfur · Sep 11, 2017

Ok, Im very confused as to whats happened along the line..

But any games won't capture in either Game/Window so I end up having to do display capture... which is showing a lot of content on record, which I really don't want it to >.<

I have GeForce experience, Steam and Discord(all up to date)- Assuming 1 of these overlays interfered, I disabled and still been unable to capture games- both fullscreen and windowed. A couple of titles I've tried this past week are: Dishonored 2, Sonic Mania, Hotline Miami & PUBG.

I am ticking "Multi Adapter Compatibility" - I am matching by executable name. - I am trying Fullscreen, Windowed and Windowed borderless. - OBS 64/32bit are both set to run as admin. - I tried in game capture "Capture Foreground with Hotkey" but this did nothing.

Here you can see Hotline open on the right, Obs on left only capturing a white screen... other titles can be a black screen. :/

Can you grab a log with a game capture attempt in it, rather than window capture?

Use the "select specific window" option so you can be sure it's trying to capture the right thing. Then upload current log from the help menu, and link here.

I am ticking "Multi Adapter Compatibility"

In your system you have no reason to do so.

Process done:
Bootted Hotline Miami(windowed)
Booted OBSx64
Add Game Capture-Capture Specific Window-Selected OBS- Its working! :D (for hotline atleast.)
But window capture is my primary function, Im a single screen user, alt tab is my messiah- Anyway we can get window capture to work?

Fenrir · Sep 11, 2017

Are you running any kind of antivirus? Window capture should, in theory, just work. It's using windows provided APIs to capture the window contents. Certain OpenGL based games don't play nice with window capture, and you should be using game capture for those anyway.

On a modern system, playing a game windowed instead of fullscreen has no impact on performance, so you should be fine.

Malware Bytes & Windows Security are only ones that are installed and running. Has any other user ever faced the issues with the overlays, because I've recorded/streamed with these before no problem? I did run a few registry edits for windows 10 in PowerShell which removed the Xbox features, but I can't imagine that's involved with the software...

Edit: Its not the performance impact- its being able to switch around these windows on stream with ease- Its how I check a new follower, display issues, dropped frames, scene changes, messages from discord... Full screen halts and blacks everything out- which is the issue I have for streams/record.

Im happy for anyone who knows there stuff to remote connect and have a look for me.. Im absolutely stumped.

Fenrir · Sep 11, 2017

You can use game capture on a windowed game, it doesn't need to be fullscreen.

Unless I'm completely misunderstanding the concern? Do you NEED to run fullscreen, or are you just assuming that if you run windowed mode for the games you have to use window capture?

I was assuming windowed mode only for windowed games, thought gamecapture needs full screen. I'll report back if it's different with any other titles- day off, but hotline got working so I'm happy for now. Thanks Fenrir.

Anyone can help me i dont have selected "Capture third-party overlays but when i enter on my games show steam mesages and browser.
Its a Bug of my OBS your a Error?!

R1CH · Sep 27, 2017

Order of overlays is indeterminate depending on the order hooks were installed. The check box doesn't guarantee anything.
