***GOOD NEWS: this appears to be working now with the latest patch. I am not sure I will have time to update this with a proper guide, so hopefully some kind member will do so***
As of 10/6/2021 this appears to be glitched. I put in a bug ticket with the developer so we'll see what happens.

Quick update:
Desktop computer PC players - we haven’t forgotten you! The next major update (aka 1.11) is in route.
Video game Console players - that same 1.11 update will include a number of crash and bug fixes.
We will share more information as we have it. Thanks!

Has this been patched yet?

*This has now been patched and is working*
Unfortunately it does not track any captures retroactively, so you must start from scratch.
I just ground this out in just shy of 4 hours playing domination. I am pretty good at the game (2.77 k/d) and was getting anywhere between four captures (if the enemy team was good) to eleven (if they weren't) per game. This game mode is by far the most 'arcadey' of all the modes. You respawn almost instantly. With this in mind don't play slow and methodically like you would in the other modes, instead treat it like a CoD game and rush the points.
The reason you want to play Dom is that there is permanently 3 active capture points and depending on the tempo of the match you are in, you can often just run from point to point to point to point etc. while spraying enemies with your preferred weapon (in my case my naughty aftermarket AKM build).
My go to build for this mode was AKM with whatever the Russian Ring Sight is called (OKP-7?), Drum Mags, Recoil Compensator, Recoil Grip, Flashbang, Heavy Armour, Heavy Webbing (or w/e its called in game). The last couple of games I switched my Heavy Webbing to a Light Webbing (as I was never getting through that many rounds in one life), and switched the starting Makarov out for the Browning Hi Power, but tbh that doesn't matter so much. You want to be aggressive and just focus on enemy capture points to get as many caps as possible.

Thumbs up. Thanks for confirmation it’s not retro.
I will get back into it and start the grind.

After the patch for 02/10/2022, the trophy was fixed, but my counter still showed about 160 target captures in the statistics.
So don't worry if you don't get 100 - just keep playing.

Buggy trophy. Captured about 200 points in PvP mode and about 120 in PvE mode. You can track the number of captured points in the main menu in the "Statistics" section. In general, let's not worry and wait for patches.
