Not working with GOG games, help appreciated.

So i've recently bought this program and it works fine for the steam and origin titles i've tried, but when I go to use this program with GOG games, the hud will not show up at all in the game, therefore I can't start recording. :cry:

I've tested this on:

- Nox (doesn't work)
- Vampire The Masquerade - Redemption (doesn't work)
- Fallout (works with and without the high resolution patch on)
- Fallout 2 (doesn't work)
- Summoner (doesn't work)
- Fallout Tactics (doesn't work)

Not sure why I can't get these games to work, not sure whether it's the resolutions they natively support or the program not being able to detection them or whether it is completely coincidental and I don't have the setting configured for recording properly.

Are they using DX8 or higher? Have you tried running your game first and then switch back to desktop to run Action?

I just tested that out on a few games and still doesn't work. I also tried running it as "Active Screen" recording and then go into the game, it would just record my desktop even though i'm in the game.

I'm not getting the hud for any older games.

Neverwinter Nights Diamond Edition? Nothing.
Baldur's Gate? Nothing
Baldur's Gate II? Nothing
Icewind Dale? Nothing
Icewind Dale II? Nothing
Neverwinter Nights II? Works

I'm assuming this won't work with older games because the direct X version, if that is the case, is there a work around it? I've spent $32.90 on software I can't even use on half my games. :(

Make sure that these games runs under DX8 or higher. Otherwise Action! will not plug into them. However if you can run them in Windowed mode you can capture them using screen mode or active desktop region.
