OBS Edit Transform Not Working on Windows 7

[corvaz]

Hi

I've been recording NeoRageX emulator on Windows 10 and I could edit transform to have full screen, but after I've switched to Windows 7 it stopped working and so it records on he top left in a small size... I tried OBS 22, 24 and 27 it's the same shxx. Even "fit to scrren" or "stretch to scrren" are not working. Why that? Is it a bug? How to report it?

Can you draw the canvas/corner by mouse?
Does it depend on wether you use window capture vs. screen capture (due to fullscreen)?

Yes I think so, but NeoRageX is one of those rare software that can't work on "windows capture", display capture only.

The problem is I can't do the same in windows 7

Why not? I'm working on win7 still, too. (and win10)
Here under OBS 26.1.1 and win7 there is window _and_ screen capture available, both.

And the question was wether it works for you to drag the corners by mouse to get the window right?

Can you bring up a screenshot please how this appears on the scene preview in OBS?

The Windows release of OBS Studio supports Windows 8, 8.1 and 10. If you're having any issues with OBS on an unsupported operating system, you need to use a supported operating system.

Thanks for your astonishing tutorial vid!

Have you ever tried game-capture under win7? It has more compatibility switches for sli/crossfire, third party overlays aso. But doesn't work here (for me) either... :(

I didn't remeber that... I tried and it doesn't work :( but really I don't understand the reason it shouldn't. Anyway if they don't want to support Windows 7 anymore they are not going to fix it even it'd be easy for them I guess.

Overlay captures, software hooks and alike are never easy solutions to figure out. It has always alot of influence to the performance of all the hardware, drivers, window manager. I think for such cases external solutions like grabber cards are better. But that's just IMHO. :)

"Never touch a running system..." - this is true for win7 even more. Alot of people (private and industry) still need to operate things with win7 and keep them alive. While there is no normal support people tend (naturally) to freeze the status quo: "Pray and never touch..."
Me too. (for special machines)

There is no reason to stay on Windows 7. And certainly not downgrading to Windows 7.

With Windows 11 on the doorstep I see postings coming with "...but I don't want to upgrade to Windows 11, I want to stay with Windows 10 forever". Argh!

@koala There are tons of reasons to stay on win7 for specific needs. But that regards industrial and science environments. Totally out of scope for this forum, so i won't discuss...

If the TO wants to stay at win7, we shouldn't slam him for this. We can help to a certain point (and no more) and that's it. He's aware of this for sure. =D

1. Get a graphics card with HDMI out for your Win7 PC.
2. Get a HDMI duplicator
3. Get a HDMI capture device for your PC that runs Win 8, 8.1 or 10
4. Use OBS on PC that runs Win 8, 8.1 or 10 with HDMI capture device to capture output of Win7 PC.
