Thread: Recording the game while playing

    Question Recording the game while playing

    Hey guys,

    I wanted to record some of my games, tried fraps but the graphics were horrible. If someone knows how and with what I can record the game, please post here. It'll be really appreciated.

    It's sad that the game doesn't have a replay saving system.

    By "Graphics were horrible" I take it you mean it lagged. In which case I don't believe you computer is powerful enough to capture while playing. There are other methods by which you could record your game, that shouldn't have as large as an impact on your game's performance.

    It wasn't lagging, it was like I was playing in safe mode. I mean you could tell what was happening but it was too painful to watch. I'll try to describe it: it was really dark, the light colors were "dirty". I thought I needed to adjust something, like with sound where I go to Run->dxdiag->no acceleration or to use a different recording software.

    Thanks for the reply. My PC is powerful enough to record without lags . If you know those other methods to recording I'm open to suggestions.

    Another method is by using hardware which would cost you money. Have you tried turning off certain graphical options like hardware acceleration?

    You must've meant software. Can't afford spending money on that. No I haven't tried to turn off hardware acceleration. If you know, tell me where and what should I turn off?

    I meant hardware, as you can purchase things like capture cards. In the options screen in the main menu there is an option under video or something I thinkcalled "Hardware Acceleration". Have a look and see if that is on.

    Just a quick note - for me too it's impossible to use fraps or any other software, since the result is pretty much just flickering eyecancer ... Even when HW acceleration is on. Wouldn't mind to hear some globally effective and nice way to make videos from in-game

    Well I just tried some recording, worked fine for me. Do you get these graphical problems when your not trying to record the game?

    No Fraps works perfectly on Warcraft III for example. What soft did you use?
