Obs doesn’t capture the game, is it because I’m using a launcher?

Did you try to seek help on that software support site?

The launcher has nothing to do with it.

You are not providing much info on HOW you are trying to record and it’s a fairly complicated process but I will mention that I commonly have to close/reload CDDA (played in windowed mode) and/or reset the capture settings (using ‘game capture’) to get it to ‘recognize’ the CDDA window so I can record. (using Streamlabs OBS)
