Fraps Not Working

Shayper · 28 Aug 2011 at 01:58

Hey guys.

As per title, really. Normally I get 180 fps on MW2, but whenever I run fraps (recording to a separate HDD) it keeps jumping, cutting out and then finally crashing the game. any ideas?

Thanks

My first question is how do you get 180 fps when there is no console and the FPS capped at 90? lol.

recording takes a lot of CPU power, so try recording at a lower res or FPS rate. failing that i hear the beta version of MSI afterburner is a very good recorder (has to be the beta version to get sound)

Yes, but I should be fine with CPU power, my 2500k is at 4.6 ghz =\

I've tried afterburner, and that produces terrible video and stutters worse than fraps. Not good.

hmm, strange. you could try forcing fraps to only use a single core or something but other than that im stumped

MSI AfterBurner compresses the video as well, hence why it produces worse video stutters and the default video quality is set at 85% for some reason, while recording at half size. You need to change this in the settings to uncompressed, 100% quality and full size. That should produce a better video quality and less stutter while recording.
