Need Help, Not Finding Image

Post by brewhaha » Wed May 29, 2019 11:31 pm

I am using this program to run macros in a game. The macro is supposed to find an image that pops up randomly, when it does, left click image, then after that I can insert a recorded session of what to do after that. So far, I open the game screen, left click an arrow to center the screen, right click to zoom out, then it is supposed to find the image, which there are several on screen, then left click etc. After the right click I hear a windows ring sound then that's it. It does not click on image.

Just a couple of things to eliminate a few possibilities.

You're using EXACT. Are you completely sure the image is always the same?

How static is the image? Using image recognition on the entire screen can be time consuming. Have you tried just searching in the game window, or specific co-ordinates?
