WCap does not record what my monitor renders. #10

In particular, when recording both window & monitor via Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition, I cannot see my cursor while recording. While the recorded video shows it, it does not actually capture what is on my screen.

Link to issue here.

Yeah, I've tried it and I have the same issue with this game. I suspect that is happening because game is changing display resolution. Try running game in windowed mode, then it should work.

I'll check if there's some workaround possible for this. I don't know how new graphics capture API interacts when fullscreen game changes display resolution.

I tried borderless mode and the issue still occurred; or would you like me to test windowed-window mode? :)

Hmm, I did not see any option to enable borderless mode for this game. But I tried windowed mode and that worked fine (alt+enter switched between them).

I tried different applications that use Windows.Graphics.Capture api - and they also cannot properly capture this. So this is not really wcap's fault and there's not much I can do to support this kind of applications without rewriting wcap significantly to support older methods of capture.
