Windows mode? #28

Closed ghost closed 10 years ago

ghost commented 10 years ago

I'm having trouble getting sharex to recognize games that are in window mode. For example, I've been playing DayZ SA and it will not recognize the window mode for the active window, but I can alt+tab out and take a screenshot of lets say my skype with no problem at all. I ran it as admin with no luck. I can use right click (system tray icon)>capture>window>"program" but this doesn't late me hold my mouse where I want it. Any troubleshooting help you can give me that would be great!

do you mean its not making any screenshot or it screenshots the wrong area?

Jaex commented 10 years ago

I don't understood too what Brian meant.

WebFreak001 commented 10 years ago

i know it but i need to know if it just picks wrong screenshot area or if it wont even take a screenshot

ghost commented 10 years ago

Sorry, when I try and take the screenshot for active window it doesn't take it, doesn't seem to recognize that it's even there.

I'm at work so responses may be delayed.

Thats not fault of sharex. A few games disable custom shortcuts. You can try it with skype^^ When you add a shortcut it wont also work. No shortcuts are working there. So its not the fault of ShareX.

My friend have DayZ SA too let me ask him is he can take active window ss when game is windowed.

Edit: Not works in his game too. ShareX can't do anything about it other than changing hotkey system to global keyboard hook which i don't want to.

@WebFreak001 is there anyway to supersede a game?

Use Steam OverlayUI as a workaround: http://getsharex.com/docs/#UploadScreenshotsWithSteam
