One thing i have noticed on 24.12.1, i dont know if previous drivers had this issue, but while having Spotify open, if i open any game, the adrenaline app just does not see it run and doesn't apply any custom profiles i have for that game. If spotify is off and i run a game, it works just fine. I tried turning off Hardware acceleration in spotify, but nothing changes. Spotify isn't being detected as a game either.  It doesnt show up on game list and doesnt record the window with instant replay. Tried reinstalling spotify and the drivers. No luck.

Hi,

i have the same Problem.

If i run only COD with my Settings in the Adrenalin App it is all fine.

But if i start spotify and end the game, adrenalin have a new gameprofile for cod but with the wrong exe.

i think the detection in this driver make problems. 

Have anyone a solution for this Problem?

hi, i have the same problem but my spotify is messing with any else game i have installed, even if i try to remove it from adrenaline, spotify's just becoming another game. Because of that my pc thinks i playing in two games at the same time, and increasing my gpu tdp to the top. Idk when it started, but i have been strugling with this from like the late of october

If Spotify is interfering with your adrenaline game detection, it could be due to how Spotify manages audio streams or interacts with your device’s system. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

Close Spotify During Gameplay: Ensure Spotify is completely closed or paused when playing adrenaline-heavy games to minimize interference.

Check App Permissions: Review Spotify's permissions on your device to see if it has unnecessary access to system functions that could affect game performance.

Update Spotify and the Game: Ensure both apps are running their latest versions to avoid compatibility issues.

Use Game Mode/Focus Mode: Enable your device’s Game Mode (if available), which can prioritize game performance and limit interruptions from background apps like Spotify.

Switch Audio Output: Use a different audio output for the game (e.g., wired headphones or Bluetooth) to separate it from Spotify’s stream.

Contact Support: If the issue persists, reach out to Spotify support or the game developer to report the compatibility problem.

this has to be an ai generated response. what does the game developer have to do with anything, it applies to every game. obviously closing spotify helps as i mentioned in my post. why would i switch audio channels like what even is the point of opening spotify if im not listening to music.

I was convinced that turning off hardware acceleration didn't work. but I tried it again from the top-left corner menu instead of spotify settings. To do this, click the 3 dots on the top left in spotify, Help > Troubleshooting > Disable hardware acceleration and restart. It will restart spotify and spotify will no longer interfere with adrenaline software and game detection.

Hi,
i tried your Tip, but the same problem is there. I start the Game i start Spotify. I end the Game and Adrenalin means the Game is running.

did you try updating both spotify and adrenaline drivers? and did u disable the hardware acceleration from the top left menu? it should work then, at least its working for me right now. no more problems.

Yeah,

i have 25.1.1 installed the actual Spotify and disable hardware aceleration from the top left menu.
