Oklahoman Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 Can anyone recommend a free screen recorder that works with CoH? I've tried the built in Win10 recorder, but it says my hardware is not compatible. I've tried several others, as well, and they don't actually capture the game. Thanks!

Hyperstrike Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 http://www.fraps.com/ Also be aware that it can be very I/O intensive. So trying to screen record 1920x1080 or above can be problematic (choppy framerates, etc). If you want to be godlike, pick anything. If you want to be GOD, pick a TANK!
Voldine Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 Ignore the guy that suggested Fraps. Use OBS. https://obsproject.com/

Rhass Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 OBS is your best bet. There are various versions out there, but the above link should suffice. Just make a new scene and add a game capture source, mute any potential mics and you're good to go in regards to recording pure gameplay. Fraps used to be the way to go, but it's not been updated since 2013.
Voldine Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 Ignore the guy that suggested Fraps. Nice...very adult... What? Fraps might have been the best thing available seven years ago, but OBS is simply objectively better in multiple ways. Your post even admitted Fraps was a hog. OBS is made for streaming, so it's designed to have a minimal performance impact.

Oklahoman Posted July 21, 2019 Author Posted July 21, 2019 Thanks for the (often friendly) options. I did try FRAPS but it didn't work for me, for whatever reason. OBS worked perfectly. I seem to remember using FRAPS back before the game was shutdown, though, so not sure why it doesn't work for me now.

And may not work a year from now. Basically there could be a laundry list of reasons why it decided it didn't "like" you. If you want to be godlike, pick anything. If you want to be GOD, pick a TANK!
WanderingAries Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 OBS worked perfectly. And this is why it's about the what instead of the how sometimes. Working is what we want. ^.^ OG Server: Pinnacle <||> Current Primary Server: Torchbearer || Also found on the others if desired <||> Generally Inactive Installing CoX: Windows || MacOS || MacOS for M1 <||> Migrating Data from an Older Installation Clubs: Mid's Hero Designer || PC Builders || HC Wiki || Jerk Hackers Old Forums <||> Titan Network <||> Heroica!
