Running FRAPS while playing Dark Mod

[JulioTheDanks]

Has anyone else had a issue running FRAPS while playing Dark Mod? It actually only affects my light gem, which will not change at all as I run FRAPS. Suggestions? Makes gameplay very difficult.

Last I read it was related to what version you're running (of FRAPS, that is). Tried using a newer version?

Also be aware Fraps dosen't like AA being turn in the game..

Hey there JulioTheDanks,

 

I suspect you have an nvidia card?

 

If so, could you try disabling "Threading Optimizations" in the driver control panel and then try testing again? I'd be interested in the result, if the lightgem works again.

Thanks guys. Believe it or not fraps had a update that directly addressed this issue. It literally said light gem fix for Dark Mod.

I run MSI afterburner and have a gigabyte graphics card. It is a good app for capturing video,screen shots or overclocking and displaying real time data on the screen for the active graphics card/cards and will work with most cards. I have found one weird bug where if I select the compass in TDM the OSD ( on screen display ) moves the OSD type on the screen temporarily as if I changed the display resolution. It does not seem to effect anything really but it's curious and needs to be seen.

 

I tried to take a screen shot and it's not working properly. This is what I end up with but not what is displayed on screen during play:

You must have been running an ancient version of Fraps, that was fixed back in 2011:

 

Fraps 3.4.4 - 26th May 2011

- Increased performance capturing Vista/Windows 7 aero desktop (DWM)

- Reduced memory footprint of Fraps process

- Fixed Fraps crash while idling on desktop

- Fixed gem glowing while recording The Dark Mod

- Fixed hotkeys not responding when simulated from autohotkey/macro apps

- Fixed graphic corruption in some OpenGL titles

I also use fraps to record and I've used the MSI OSD which is awesome, but I've never seen this issue.

OSD can cause issuses in some games however, like Warframe gets all screwed up when you use OSD, and some games crash.
