If I try to open the Game Bar while GZDoom is running, the game freezes and I have to Alt & Tab out and back in to unfreeze it. Disabling the Iwad selection menu in the GZDoom options doesn’t work either.

However, that workaround doesn’t work with GZDoom. If I do it that way, then the Game DVR records properly with Zandronum.

I can load it through the Doom Explorer program which skips the Iwad selection menu but still allows me to select the Iwad (and Pwads) a different way. Now with regards to Zandronum, there is a workaround that I discovered. But like I said, it doesn’t do any recording at all when I select an Iwad to play. When I start up GZDoom or Zandronum, it does show the small message on the right side of the screen that the Game DVR has loaded. It won’t do background recording or manual recording with GZDoom. GZDoom is having issues with the Game DVR.

All of my PC games work fine with the Game DVR. I have the latest stable versions of Zandronum, ZDaemon, and Odamex, and they all work fine with the Game DVR. I have tried every renderer in the options, tried Vulkan, tried it with a default settings file, played around with the Video and Display settings, tried fullscreen mode and windowed mode, tried different Iwads, and nothing has worked yet. I’m not able to get the Windows 10 Game DVR/Game Bar to work at all with the current version of GZDoom (4.1.1).
