Question / Help Window capture

[s2brm1]

My OBS no longer captures the window only of an executable program (eg: League of Legends) it ends up capturing the whole desktop, what should I do? I use the 64-bit Studio version, it started to happen after I formatted my computer.

I am also having trouble capturing league of legends. I'm running it in borderless window mode, but whenever I attempt to capture I get a black screen (although I can still see the cursor moving). I was also having trouble capturing chrome, but I found out that disabling hardware acceleration fixed the issue. I was curious if the problem with league was caused by a similar issue. I'm not sure if it uses any sort of hardware acceleration though.

Do you mean google chrome hardware acceleration or other? Before I format the pc, obs studio was normal in this question, but now it is all bugged when I put to capture the lol screen in capture window mode. It gets those multiple copies of the screen in the OBS knows, as if it were the monitor capture

Yes, I mean that disabling hardware acceleration in the google chrome settings made it so I was able to capture the chrome window. As for league bugging out, I'm not sure. I was just getting a black screen.

So does anyone have any idea how to fix this issue or a workaround? Or am I just going to have to resort to capturing the entire monitor? I'd really prefer not to have to do that.

I deactivated, but nothing changed

Here until the capture of the whole monitor is buggy, because it is horrible stream and OBS capture what you do not want to show

I'm a newbee, so.... I had the same problem with my first game capture. When I got the black screen I started checking and saw that while I was capturing the game I sometimes switched between full and reduced windows. When I set OBS to game capture, or window capture and matched that with the pc I was ok.

What do you mean by full or reduced windows?

I can play games in full window mode or part window mode. It's in my gameplay set up to put the game on full screen or not. Windows10. Game on Steam. "The Forest".
