Unable to capture Universal Windows Apps using OBS or Shadowplay
Unable to capture Universal Windows Apps using OBS or Shadowplay
I recently attempted to record Gears of War 4 and other UWA games using shadowplay, but it didn’t function properly. I tried capturing the screen with OBS, which also failed. While OBS could work with window captures, some games display a black screen. Launching desktop recording and then pressing alt-tab works for others, though it’s inconvenient. Anyone have any suggestions or alternatives?
I think the problems with capturing and FPS tracking in UWPs stem from them not being .exe files. The recording tool probably doesn’t identify the program correctly, so it can’t save the data properly.
You may need to access the Xbox Game DVR at https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-on-w...windows-10
I could be stuck on that for gears, unfortunately. I prefer not to rely on the game DVR since I think it won’t work well with my GPU and I experienced some strange artifacts previously.
