Oh, you're right. The game was in windowed fullscreen setting, when I changed it to fullscreen it's detecting it. Probably game mode detects the game only when it's fullscreen, I didn't know that.

7 months ago @SkandarS0 There is a setting called "Excluded Apps" you can try if you are playing the game in maximized window mode. You can find this setting on the Quick Accent settings page.

1 month ago Can assure that this issue is still present when games are running in "windowed full screen" mode, since not every game has a full screen exclusive mode (e.s. Starfield, Hellblade 2 and many others) it's a real pain to manually insert every process name (especially you have a multi PC setup), my suggestion is, if it's hard to detect open games that aren't full screen exclusive, to at least make some kind of process selector like discord for unregistered games
So this whole process would be less tedious
