No matter what I try OBS won't capture this game, it just refuses to pick it up when I try to record game. Everything else works fine, is there some setting I'm missing for recording it or?

I really want to speedrun this game, but if OBS doesn't work I'm SOL since I don't really use twitch.

Do u have the game in full-screen or windowed mode

Full-screen, does windowed help?

If you want to hop on the discord I can explain a little bit more but running a game capture on a specific window tends to do better for me on windowed for some reason but game capture with any fullscreen application is what I use.

imo the best way to capture to avoid fps issues is: 1-Play in windowed mode 2-OBS capture with Display Capture (not game capture) , you can then do some cropping if needed 3-Disable the stream/record preview once everything is ready to go

I play in windowed mode, and I set my resolution in game to 800x600 so that I don't have to do any fancy cropping or use dual monitors.
