I have also tested using 'Capture any fullscreen application' mode, and this also fails to capture a blatantly fullscreen game. I want to make sure that OBS does not accidentally switch to any other full-screen program while running a fullscreen game.

- Can't seem to make it work with OBS and since im a streamer that feelsbadman. Anyone can help me out here? I tried run OBS in administrator mode and restart game n' stuff. Still just black screen in OBS. Maybe try having it record your whole monitor and not just the game itself? I've had to do that for some games before.
