I've played Nox since it came out. Now I want to share it with the world.
While I've gotten the game to run just fine, I can't get it to be recorded properly on OBS.
Meaning: if I just let OBS do its thing, it'll record Nox in a tiny box, specific to the game's resoltution. If I try to Alt+Tab out to expand the game in OBS, it crashes.
Is there a workaround?
Thanks!

try window capture and run in windowed mode.

It'd be trivial on Linux due to Gamescope; where you can just run the whole thing within a window...but that'd be redundant since Nox would be running in Wine anyways.

Alternately: Fuck it, OpenNox. Why even bother with the creaky old files in the first place? Ain't got time for that.

Use a HDMI splitter + HDMI recorder to record your screen live?

Hmmm if you're live streaming probably go that route. I'd recommend having 2 screens, one for the active game/program, the other for OBS and if you need anything to get a feed from a webcam or the like. Then make a template to merge them together with a background image/animations for unused area of the screen.

Also if you have hardware acceleration (h264/265/av1) then you can get decent compression with little in the way of performance penalties. OBS a few months ago supposedly supported the new AV1, but x265 would likely be better for streaming while AV1 better for local storage.

If you don't mind uploading after the fact and doing commentary, VirtualDub might work, as it had some good capture options, but you'd have to do some tests. I THINK that an external splitter would capture the video and recode it as a video feed. If that's the case you'd have 2 video inputs and OBS should be fine, though how much of a delay there is i can only guess.

Maybe run it with dgVoodoo?
