How to Fix A Supported Game is Required To Use This Feature Error - Nvidia GeForce Experience

▶When using Nvidia GeForce you may run into a supported game is required to use this feature error. There are a few ways that can fix the supported game is required error. This error occurs when the Nvidia feature you’re trying to use isn’t supported by the game or hardware of your computer.

The most common fix for the supported game error is to update your graphics card drivers. This solution is particularly useful when you’re playing a newly released game. As a new game is released typically there will be a driver update to support the game with all of the Nvidia features. You can update your graphics drivers through the Nvidia experience app. If you already have the newest driver then a possible fix is to reinstall your current driver. When installing a Nvidia driver we recommend using the express installation.

Another fix for the Nvidia a supported game is required error is to downgrade to an older driver. Sometimes a new driver can cause an issue with a feature, preventing it from working correctly. You can download an older driver from the Nvidia website. You will need to know your graphics card information to find the correct driver. This information can be found in the Nvidia experience app.

A supported game is required to use this feature error can also be caused by OBS or another recording software. To fix the issue you will need to completely close OBS and restart the game. Once the game has been restarted you should be free to open OBS without any issues.

For recording errors you may need to switch to desktop capture mode. This will allow you to record your entire screen rather than just a game. We don’t recommend this for anyone with multiple monitors.

After messing with this several times it finally works again. Thanks for the help.

there are no "privacy control settings" there for me (4:40), but i've recorded my desktop on this laptop before

[iam.damian]

Thank you for thorough troubleshooting. I found out my laptop doesn't support this, because I don't have the privacy control submenu.

I'm currently having trouble fixing this issue with Train Simulator Classic. At one point, I was able to record everything in the game, but the next, I could record nothing. Not to mention, this happened on the same device I use, a Windows 10 64 bit

Enable Desktop Capture Worked for me!
Thanks.

There is also a method that you need to open the game in the geforce experience to get the in game setting

[nithinxaviour]

Thanks for the video but sadly none of them worked for me.
For me uninstalling the geforce experience and reinstalling latest version of the app fixed the issue😀.

[HadesDiffs]

My filter called Colorfulnes isn't showing up and I Don't know why it isn't showing can you help

[zerotron]

Im trying to stream MGS Sons of Liberty and Snake Eater and it only streams the menu before the game then it goes black or it stops streaming.

OBS does the same then it goes all black fullscreen.

If anyone can help me step by step I will be very thankful for your help and time 🙏🏽

[lekls]

nothing works, the only thing that I havent tried is the experimental features because it gets stuck on checking for updates. The game im trying to fix and my pc are compatible so thats not the issue

[despawningenemy]

Ok so the perfect fix for me would have been the "privacy control settings" and just setting it to capture the whole desktop BUT. When I look in the settings, THERE IS NO PRIVACY CONTROL SETTINGS TAB!!!! WHY?!?!!?

If you are on a laptop with both integrated graphics and nvidia graphics, you need to disable the integrated graphics entirely. Don't run in a hybrid graphics mode.
