Screen Recording


Oklahoman

Recommended Posts

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!

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.

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.

Or you could have posted something explaining Why like Rhass did instead of sounding snarky.

Pretty much this.

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.

Software is a "moving target".

 

What works NOW, may not have worked a year ago.  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.

And this is why it's about the what instead of the how sometimes. Working is what we want. ^.^
