Action! Doesnt find my active game Battlefield 2042

[Rankor164]

Hello dear community,

I bought Action! yesterday to be able to take a few BF2042 shots. If I use the “Game” mode for recording, it does not recognize that Battlefield is started.

If I use the “Screen” mode, you can see in the preview how the game starts, as soon as the connection to the Battlefield server is established, the view changes to the desktop even if the game is in the foreground. What is inexplicable to me is that Action! recognizes my NZXT CAM as a game.

When I use the “Window” mode, Battlefield is not available for selection under “Selected application”. Even if I then switch to “Share display” and select the corresponding monitor on which Battlefield can be seen, only my desktop is recorded.

I have tested all hardware acceleration modes (AMD AMF HDR10, AMD AMF, AMD AMF HEVC, disabled).
I have tested it with and without time shift.
I have tested all possible modes even range mode.
I have tested video sizes (1080p, 1440p, ... Original).

OS: Windows 10 Pro (all Updates)
Video Card: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX Red Devil
Monitor: Gigabyte M32UC connected via Displayport (tested with and withoud active HDR)
Memory: 64 GB
Monitor Resolution: 3840x2160
Video Editor: -
Game Problem: Battlefield 2042
Video Type: MP4

Does anyone have any idea why this might be?

Kind regards
Johannes

Thanks for the tip. My Action! wasn't working and was blocked and I was literally scrambling for a solution for the past week.And as you said, it was blocked by my antivirus and I didn't notice it. Now my Action! is working fine.

Thanks a lot, I followed your instructions and it worked.
