Reporter:  JoLiKMC        |      Owner:  (none)
    Type:  defect         |     Status:  new
Priority:  low            |  Component:  Engine: AGI
 Version:                 |   Keywords:  OBS, recording, text
    Game:  Space Quest 1  |
--------------------------+----------------------------------
 '''ScummVM version:''' ScummVM 2.8.1 (Mar 16 2024 13:01:03)
 '''Operating System:''' Windows 10 Pro version 2H22, build 19045.4651

 '''Game:''' ''Space Quest, Chapter I: The Sarien Encounter''
 '''Version of game:''' All versions?
 (Confirmed on 1.0X 1986-09-24/DOS/English and 2.2 1987-05-07
 5.25"/3.5"/DOS/English versions)
 '''Relevant save game:''' Not applicable (happens anywhere)

 '''Bug details:''' On occasion, the text boxes or other instances of text
 printing will fail to be captured in third-party video recordings.  The
 windows will, however, display just fine in ''ScummVM''.

 '''How to reproduce bug:'''
 1. Open ''ScummVM'', then open ''OBS Studio'' and make a new Game Capture
 window, linking it to ''ScummVM''.
 2. Open any version of ''Space Quest I'' (AGI version) in ''ScummVM''.
 3. Start recording and type anything to generate a text message window.

 '''Further details:'''
 As documented [https://forums.scummvm.org/viewtopic.php?t=16904 here],
 there seems to be a weird visual bug with ''ScummVM'' regarding recording
 AGI engine games, or possibly just the first ''Space Quest'' game and
 trying to record footage under certain setups, such as using ''OBS
 Studio'' in "Game Capture" mode.  It's not consistent, or maybe it only
 happens on certain frames or cycles, but it's also impossible to detect
 without looking at the video recordings, themselves.  This is as confusing
 as it is irritating.

 I've marked this as a "low priority" bug because switching to "Window
 Capture" in ''OBS Studio'' seems to have solved this issue for me.  In all
 likelihood, this is probably more the fault of ''Open Source Broadcaster''
 than anything, but I figured it was worth retreading since this has
 happened to at least two other people.
