Another CS:S Problem :\

[benjo]

Hey all

Basically Fraps + CS:S dont like each other. If i run them both at the same time, CS:S will just bounce back to desktop when i try and load it up

However its fine when fraps isnt running

Anyone know whats up?

Cheers

I used to have this problem, went away when i upgraded my CPU and GFX card a while back. Maybe your system is under too much stress while recording

But i wasnt even recording.. i'm just running fraps in the background and when cs:s loads up (not even in a game) it crashes back to desktop

id sugest changing your graphics drivers but tbh it may be more hassle then its worth

record a demo - then use fraps (where the plan falls down lol)

how can he do that if his game wont even load up?

because you record a demo in css, then play it back and record with fraps, plan flals down at the second part, where fraps wont work

Is the game still running minimised? there is a problem with source minimising itself, something to do with refresh rate iirc

there is a command in source that allows you to record a series of screenshots then convert them to AVI using VirtualDub. If thats what your after.


EDIT: try cl_avidemo "XX" (XX being your desired framerate 30 should be ok)
