Game bar recording in small window

Zackeroo · Dec 3, 2021

As you can see in this photo, gamebar is not recording properly which is very weird. I'm being forced to use OBS instead.

The game is being played in 1440P, the video records in 1440P but the small window would therefore be a smaller resolution (maybe 1080).

I have checked it out and found several threads on the issue from last year. But I haven't found a fix yet, I'll let you know if I find anything useful

You can try adjusting the capture settings on your Windows device. See how to do that here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/games-apps/...

I don't think you understand what I'm showing here. I've obviously looked through the capture settings already, but this hasn't helped since this isn't something you can fix by changing a setting, it's a bug with the game bar recorder.

I just haven't seen many people with the same bug as me except for one discussion on this website where there was no solution to be found.

I assume by the 'playback feature' you mean the record time? The Windows Game Bar maximum record time that can be set is 4hrs. This can be changed in Windows Settings > Gaming > Captures.

The Windows Game-Bar uses a video recording codec that requires the file to be finalised in order for it to be saved. This means that either if the recording is stopped via the Game Bar or the recording ends on its own once the maximum time is reached, the file should save. If for some reason there a fault or a system crash, the video recording won't save as it won't complete the 'finalising' process.
