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. Awards

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. Blaze 1 Awards

I presume you just play it back in the console... /play filename ? Awards

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.

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. Awards

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. Awards

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. Awards
