Anyone know how to record Quakespasm on OBS?

I can record DarkPlaces just fine but for reasons I cannot comprehend Quakespasm can only record the Pause Screen.
Using Window Capture to cap the specific window, and again DarkPlaces captures perfectly but QuakeSpasm only gets Audio and the Pause Menu/Start Menu for image.

Quakespasm has the "record" and "playdemo" commands, in the drop down console, just like original Quake. The trick is to get the game going before turning on the record. A screen recorder is vastly superior to this. With a screen recorder, you end up with a usable video format. So if something fabulous happens during the game, you have something you can edit immediately. In the Quake only format, you can still get the "fabulous" event(s), but you have to use the screen recorder anyway after the fact, while the playdemo is running. So it's twice the work.

The problem is the Screen Recorder doesn't even record the whole screen, it only "records" the frames where the game has the Pause Menu open, and in the event that doesn't occur it's the frame where I tab out to OBS to begin recording rip

Does Game Capture or Display Capture work?

I generally always use Display Capture, as I seem to get the least amount of recording issues on this capture mode.

Try starting obs as admin?

I know a fair bit about OBS. So you can try messaging me directly for more in-depth troubleshooting with OBS if you'd like to.

Display Captures and Quakespasm together cause the screen to constantly flicker black until either Quake or OBS is closed, and even then Quake is left ♥♥♥♥♥♥ till I restart it.
Game Capture gets the Audio but no video when I run it in a window and capture the specific window.
Might do tests on Fullscreen but Display Capture terrifies and confuses me.
