Bug Report Windows 8 Screen region lag

[Foof]

Hey,

I searched if this had been reported but I couldn't find anything so I decided to post something myself.. Windows 8 seems to change how Aero works and it is no longer possible to disable it. This results in a huge impact on the fps you get with screen region. There are multiple threads on XSplit's forum with the same issue. XSplit claims to have a solution in their next release but for now both XSplit and OBS are unusable for most if not all Windows 8 users who wants to stream using screen region.

Do you know about this and if you do, do you have a solution on the horizon?

Thanks for a great piece of software! :)

This has already been fixed a long time ago, windows 8 capture should now be fast. I have windows 8 now and fixed the problem months ago. If you have lag with it, it could be due to your computer. This is especially true with laptops.
