Wiki Minecraft is not Working With Game Capture

Minecraft does not default to the high-performance GPU. To get it to work with game capture, you'll have to follow these steps:

The first step to troubleshoot is to ensure that the Game Capture source "Mode" is set to "Capture specific window" and then select javaw/Minecraft on the "Window" drop-down

Close OBS and Minecraft

- Open Windows 10 Settings App (Start button + Cogwheel icon).

Go to System - Display, then click "Graphics settings" near the lower right

Select "Classic app" or "Desktop app" (they are identical, but called differently on different Windows versions) and then click "Browse".

Once Minecraft/javaw.exe is installed to your computer, click "Options" and choose "High Performance"

You will usually find javaw.exe here:
