Bug Report League of Legends Launcher suddenly won't show

[Musashie]

Hi,

I have a problem I cant find a solution for on the internet. I started streaming putting my League of Legends Launcher and the League of Legends Ingame-Window in 2 different scenes and it worked well for a while so far. It also worked as one scene. Then suddenly one day the Launcher disappeared on the stream. So i tried to fix it, i deleted the Launcher and put it back in, I restarted both, OBS and League of Legends, as an Administrator and I put it in one scene again, but it all didnt work. So i uninstalled and reinstalled OBS and then the Launcher showed up again and worked totally fine like it did in the beginning... to disappear a week later again. No matter what i delete I cant get this Launcher into the stream it wont show.

Info:
Im using Win7 64Bit and OBS 64Bit latest Version (always started as Admin)

Does anybody know this problem or how to fix it? Im desperately trying to fix this. A Friend of mine had the exact same problem but couldnt fix it as well.

Are you using window capture to capture the launcher? I haven't heard of this happening before.

As I said I used to capture the Launcher with "Game Capture", but it does not work anymore at all. Even when I delete the Launcher from the scene to put it back in it wont show. It does not matter if its in the same scene or another scene. When I try to capture the Launcher with "Game Capture" all i can chose is "LoL Client", but thats the ingame LoL-Screen and when I chose it I have a black screen on the stream.
I have to use window capture now, but thats not what I want, because I dont want ppl to see me browsing while I am in Que.

If you turn aero on, window capture won't show windows on top. I'm betting that aero is just off.

 

[Musashie]

Nope, Im sorry. I tried both: Aero Off and Aero On with restarts in between, deleting the Game Captures and putting it back in but the Launcher didnt show up once. I started both, Launcher and OBS as Administrator trying starting the Launcher before OBS and then starting OBS before the Launcher.

The launcher is not really a game, the fact it worked at all is quite lucky. The launcher should be captured with window capture.

 

[Musashie]

But does it have to be a Game? I can capture any programm (Skype, Teamspeak, Firefox) with Game Capture. And Capturing the Launcher works for many streamers.

Yes, game capture is designed to hook 3D graphics technology such as DirectX and OpenGL. Using it on non-games is unsupported - while it may work, it's certainly not designed to cope with multiple windows and GDI applications.
