HI all, I used to be able to record me playing this game with Geforce Experience. I think its called Shadowplay... In any case, anyone have any suggestions?  

 

When I did my last NVidia update a couple of days ago, it wigged out and shut down the game overlay.

I had to reinstall the driver to get the overlay to work.

 

If I remember correctly, go to the update page in the GeForce Experience. The top box below the line where it says your driver is up-to-date. Go to the little three dots and click on that and I think there is a reinstall option there. I know it's somewhere on that page. I think there is where it is.

If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore.

(It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications)

Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case.

But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable.

Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them.

From what I understand NVidia is dropping support for GameStream and similar tech. 

 

Moonlight's awesome work is effectively at an end of life when they change GeForce Experience to cut GameStream out-- even if the hardware supports it, no GFE support, no GameStream.  A sober explanation of this is here: https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-docs/wiki/NVIDIA-GameStream-End-Of-Service-Announcement-FAQ -- There's folks taking this moment to push Sunshine or Parsec as alternatives, but both are software encoding-based and have a hit in performance over GameStream (like Moonlight, they also require twiddling to get StreamLabs, OBS or other 'uptake' app to see it and sling it to your video feed.)

 

TL;DR: There's no day or date to prepare in advance.  They're going to do it when they are ready, but when NVidia updates GeForce Experience to kill GameStream, that's it.  Party's over.

 

Being practical: Anyone wanting to stream a game on Twitch or YouTube, hardware capture remains the best option.  It won't matter what video card is involved.  You may need to invest in a Game Capture device from Elgato, Razer, EVGA (they still make gaming hardware!) or other third-party that allows for low-lag and encrypted capture.  It means a tangle of cables and possibly a second computer but the video output will be a lot more usable:

  • Gaming Device - could be anything including Consoles - plug HDMI or DP output to the Capture Device input -
  • Capture Device output, whether USB or PCI-Ex connection, links to a Streaming PC that sees and controls the output

What to watch for: Elgato CamLink and those $20 HDMI to USB Capture cards on Amazon are great, but they stop short of HDCP.  Any encryption on HDMI and they spit out empty video until you disconnect it.  If the price is under $50, make sure the return policy is up to par in case it doesn't do what you're looking for.  Good game capture devices have a separate power input for processing video so the input and output lines are just signal.  Be very skeptical of a device that uses a single USB plug for both signal and power (convenient isn't always good).

Apparently once you set a signature, you cannot blank it.
