Sorry if this is a rambly question, but there's some context here.

I'm trying to smooth everything out before I start streaming on DLive. I have a dual monitor setup, my 4K monitor to play the game on, and I use the second to see my OBS window, and Firefox to actually see what is being streamed (both windows are snapped to each half of the screen).

I have OBS set to capture my whole first screen, which works fine, and I can still see OBS at half size on the second monitor, but the problem I run into is, when I launch a game fullscreen on the first monitor, firefox minimizes on the second screen.

I go from seeing both OBS and Firefox side-by-side, to Firefox disappearing, and I can't possibly think of what causes this.

Sorry if this is something dumb I'm overlooking, and I'm unsure if it's a problem with OBS, but I figured I would start here.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Update: After some trial and error with different ages of games on both GOG and Steam, it seems the problem lies with just older games on GOG. I'll be taking to the forums there. When (if) I find a solution, I might necropost what it is.

Update 2: Turns out part of the problem was tied to finding the right resolutions for the game (trial and error). Firefox still minimizes for some reason, but OBS still stays up, so I can snap them back in to place.
