PlaysTV not showing that Arma 3 is launched.

So ive tried to record arma 3 with plays like i used to a few months back. ive beentrying again but now when ever i launch arma and am in game ect, plays doesnt show that arma is launched. it just stays on "waiting for game to launch". 

ive tried pretty much anything i can find online, and think of. but if anybody  has any ideas or tips that would me amazing.

im not too sure if specs are of any value here, so if you think it would help you just leave me a comment and ill send you them.

cheers lads.

I had this issue a while ago, I’m not sure what fixed it, but while it wasn’t working I set plays tv recording mode to manual, and started recording each time myself using the ctrl +f3 shortcut

i have tried that, but it doesnt even show that the game is open in plays.

there was a update a while back now which required you to download the new plays.tv. So the symbol should be this one:

you also need to delete the old version for this to work properly. When this was first released i had to delete anything Plays.tv and then just reinstall the new one

ill give it a shot when im out of school, if it doesnt work im getting the rook

i am fairly sure that I have the latest version tho - I’ve reinstalled it a few times too ( after removing all traces).

Run playstv as administrator, should fix most problems.

tried that - doesnt work

Are you launching the game through A3Launcher? I had the same issue, Plays just straight up refused to record Arma 3 when launching it through A3Launcher. Contacted support and everything but it never got solved. Ended up launching the game through Steam and just finding my servers through the in-game server browser and Plays started recording the game like it was supposed to, might be worth a shot!
