Mouse dissapears when recording Mindustry v146 on Borderless fullscreen

My mouse is there but i can't see it...

That is a very interesting bug. I can reproduce it with Mindustry.
I don't think the problem is in wcap code, it could some weird interaction of how Mindustry sets mouse cursor and how WGC api captures screen. But not sure why this happens, would need experiment how setting custom cursor affects WGC api.

Yeah the thing records the CURSOR and pretty much all the video is basically a stale image.

Even if i try to record without fullscreen it just created a corrupt .mp4 file lol

Ah, I did not notice the image freezes. This most likely is optimization in Windows or GPU drivers which makes fullscreen window to bypass compositor. Game directly renders to monitor output. And WGC api cannot capture anything - as there is no compositing involved anymore. With current code in wcap this cannot be fixed. It would require adding new code to use Desktop Duplication for capturing.

damn :(, this is so sad...
