I was using Raptr AMD Gaming Evolved to record moments in game as Xfire's recording isn't as compatible as it used to be. But now it just seems to be stuck on the "setting up game" screen or the loading screen. The audio is ok, but no video to speak of. Xfire is ok, but its a faff recoding it to a more universal codec than the xfr1 it uses and the flashback feature doesn't seem to work any more.

 

I would use the built in recorder, but it doesn't work for me either. It doesn't save them anywhere and I ran a search on the whole PC and couldn't find a file, so not sure what I'm doing wrong there.

 

What do you guys use?

Any fix for Xfire codec and flashback feature?

How do I get the console record function to work?

 

Many thanks in advance.  :cry:

That doesn't work for me. There is no file recorded anywhere under the names I choose, or in the .dm_1 format.

I had the same issue with Raptr especially the Game replay feature. It took a hit on my FPS and i had to disable all close raptr then reenable everything. Try doing a reinstallation, raptr's recording feature is far superior to xfire. It does not impact ur in-game FPS and overall very smooth. I tried the twitch streaming but that hasn't worked well, it gets stuck on starting. I use it routinely to record my games, as GG mentioned /record will record a demo in ur mods demo folder. Hit me on xfire some time and I can walk u through it.

Yeah I reinstalled it today but haven't tested it yet.

/record filename

records a .spd file and it won't play in the player. I presume you just play it back in the console...

/play filename

?

Thanks.

 

They aren't in .dm_1 format though. I have said this already, they are .spd!

I read that but it makes no sense, SPD is single player demo.

They work fine now.

 

The last demo I recorded (using /record iboomboomissimple) saved the file iboomboomissimple.spd

 

So when I went to play it, it said iboomboomissimple.dm_1 could not be found, because it was really iboomboomissimple.spd

 

But it does save them properly now.

Hmmm thats a new one. I listed the steps to make sure sanity was checked. I dont know why urs is saving them as spd. It should be dm_1 for multiplayer. If urs is a steam game I wonder if it has any impact on some general config.

Not a steam game, although steam has fucked it up enough that sometimes it thinks it is.

This rings a bell, can you create a new profile in the MP mode and try that again?

Been there done that, all these 3rd party software impact in-game FPS. Raptr was acquired by AMD and it works native with AMD drivers. If your FPS is 250, it will stay 250 and you record the game smooth as silk. So screen lag, nothing, it just works.

Yeah, FRAPS just demolishes your frame rate.

 

I tried installing Razer which was suggested in another thread, but that just recorded a blank screen.

I have also tried OBS, but I can't get that to work either.

 

I really liked raptr because of the replay record, but now I can't find anything to do it. I don't want to record the whole session and then have to go and edit to find the key moments.
