Hi. i have a rather specific issue, and i couldnt find any answers online (my google-fu might be ass, or SEO has weakened it, whatever)
Anyway, I am using OBS only to play switch games on my PC. I do not stream, I do not record. It is just the most convenient way to connect my switch to my monitor currently.
Now, the situation I'm facing is that when I am playing games thru OBS like this, My computer thinks I'm idling, since no inputs are happening (or something) I do not want to loosen my energy settings as I have a bad habit of running the computer for days at a time when those are off. I need it to shut off after 5 minutes of inactivity, but I need OBS to count as "activity" so I can play my switch games since trying to play Tiger! Tiger! is infuriating enough without my screen turning off every 5 minutes.
Can anyone help me with this specific issue?
EDIT: RESOLVED
2 great suggestions were recieved, but in the end enabling replay buffer did the trick! thank you kindly <3
