Question / Help Window Capture and mouse cursor

[Sidiouus]

Hello,

I'm just wondering whether it's possible to disable/hide the cursor when streaming in 'Window Capture', as opposed to 'Game Capture'.

Thanks for reading.

Does unchecking "Capture Mouse Cursor" not work?

I'm not sure how you're suggesting the two graphics cards enter into the equation.

Well nope it doesn't sadly.

Well I merely explained why I'm streaming in Window Capture since that doesn't seem to be the standard practice. My perceived belief was that when you had both a Intel integrated card AND a Nvidia card at the same time, Game Capture was not possible (as explained here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5965) If the option was available for me to stream in Game Capture, I'd switch in a heartbeat!

But thanks for responding, grateful, cheers!

Game capture is possible, and that post explains how to do it. You have to set OBS to run on the same GPU that the game us running on, which is usually the high-performance card. Just go into your GPU settings (nVidia Control Panel or Catalyst Control Center) and set OBS.exe to run on the high-performance card. (Make sure you get the 32 or 64 bit exe, whichever one you're using).

Alright so I did some digging into the actual game client (WoW.exe) and it seems that the problem was NOT with OBS but rather the settings in the client itself.. Enablin the 'Hardware Cursor' option solved this issue!

To go off topic but to answer your question, yes I've set my OBS.exe to run on my Nvidia high performance card but that doesn't seem to be it.. Still getting a black screen. I'll go through the post once more just to double check but in any case thanks! :)
