Fraps is driving me nuts.

mr chris · 03-09-07, 07:54 AM

Have just started to shoot footage for my next video. But fraps is playing up and not recording footage.

When i want to take footage in game i just hit the numlock key and hit it again when i have finshed shooting.
But half the footage i have taken so far has not been recorded for some reason. I have missed out on some good footage and it is begin to drive me nuts.

I have tryed changing the record button and even that does not work. Sometimes it records some times it does not anyone have any ideas. Before i really lose my temper and throw my computer off my balcony.

Chris, do you take screenshots with fraps or the SH3-function?

If you hit F12 several times I think you turn off fraps.

Oh, and if you let the fps show ingame, the fps counter will turn red when you record.

Maybe you need to reinstall Fraps, but at administrator-account this time?

Do you have the "No Sync" option unchecked in the 'Movies' TAB? I had some problems with fraps when it was checked, so I unchecked it and now everything´s fine.

Also, are you using the resFix? Fraps doesnt like it.

No mate i dont use it for screenshots but i do hit F12 a bit to go to the outside free view. That might be the problem.

@ Dowly the "No Sync" option is unchecked

Thanks for the tips guys i was really at verge of putting my fist through my monitor.
Will give it ago again later with out using F12 so much.
