Greetings, since couple days ago Bandicam lose target of any game i choose to record IF i alt+tab to open or check Firefox or any other browser or do anything when minimizing the game, this is the first time it hapened and im using it for over a year.

I have all drivers up to date, Java up to date and all aplications conected to multimedia contet up to date (flash, shockwave, video play drivers like xvid, MPEG, etc), reinstalled like 12 times already and continues to lose target of any game, despite it shows the targeted game in the Target box, it wont record anything after alt+tab out of the game, not even the button Record on the right side of the target aplication box works.

Can you help me? Thank you in advance.

1. Use the latest version of Bandicam from http://www.bandicam.com/downloads/

2. Start Bandicam before the recording target.
Bandicam can provide good FPS recognition when it is run "before the target program".

3. Choose the proper Target option
- DirectX/OpenGL window mode: Skyrim, Battlefield 3, Call of Duty (MW3), WOW, iTunes, Windows Media Player...
- Rectangle on a screen mode: flash game, Firefox web browser, desktop screen...

4. If you click Alt+Tab or minimize the game, Bandicam can lose the recording target.

hi
i have similar problem here, not only recording, even fps meter and screenshot make thingy doesn't work when i alt+tab to windows and then switch back to the game, specially when i play some video at browser (imo it has something to do with the latest version of adobe flash player)

cuz my english suck i will write it in simple steps to make it more understandable
1. run bandicam
2. run any game
- so far so good (can see fps, can take screenshots & record vids)
3. alt+tab to windows
4. open browser with just a google page
5. back to the game
- everything is ok
6. alt+tab to windows again
7. go to YT and play a random video
8. close browser & back to the game
- fps meter is gone, can't take ss nor record vids (bandicam is still runing but ignoring the game, only thing that helps in this stage is to restart bandicam.. which it's not very comfy at all)

important thing - it never done this before just the last few days

Hi,
7. go to YT and play a random video
Most games are using the DirectX technology.
Most videos are using the DirectX technology.
Bandicam is the DirectX hooking program.
=> When you play a video while you're recording in DirectX mode, Bandicam can lose the hooking target.

We don't think we can solve this problem.
We don't think other directx hooking programs can solve this problem.

This is not the bug of the current version, the user shouldn't start another directx program including a video/web browser/....

i think you misunderstood me, i am not recording at this time
i am talking about the problem when bandicam stop showing FPS (and also making screenshots and videos in game) when i switch from desktop to application (game) and i am pretty sure it has something to do with flash player because i have tried to remove flash player and it fixed the problem, but i need flash player on my PC

Yeah, it was due to flash player 11.3, thanks for tip. The solution is to use previous version os flash player 11.2. http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/ ... sions.html
