Chaz Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 I'm having a difficult time using DXTory with DCSW. Granted I am using the trial version, but it works great with other games (Assetto Corsa, Grand Theft Auto 5, BF4)- just not DCSW. I don't want to buy it if this is how the full version will run. I am running DCSW on 1 drive and writing to a separate. Both SSDs. I am attempting to record track files at 1920x1080 (although I play at 6000X1080). My frames with DXTory turned off are capped at 60fps. (Vsync on.) When I go to record (DXtory set at 30fps), it drops to 15-20 tops and is not smooth. I am using the lagarith lossless codec as it seems to be the most popular. The ironic part is when I use FRAPS (the program itself, not the codec), it runs smooth as butter, but I want to avoid the huge file size. MSI Afterburner also results in the same as DXTory. But runs fine with other games, but not DCSW. Can anyone share some suggestions? Thanks. YouTube | Kick | Twitch | My Gaming Rig
Johnny Dioxin Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 I can only suggest what I use - D3DGear. There have been two instances in the past where a DCSW update has resulted in D3DGear not working - but I reported it and both times fixes were released very quickly. File sizes are small and you can also use it for the usual stuff - screenshots, broadcasting,etc. It has a lot of options for codecs and so-on, too. The only reason I haven't used it recently is due to me switching to 3 screens, and like all of the recorders, it's not possible to only record the centre screen. It does well in comparisons, too.

GeorgeLKMT Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 I don't know much about recording software, but is there any reason why you can't use shadowplay? ■ L-39C/ZA Czech cockpit mod ■ My DCS skins ■
Chaz Posted June 4, 2015 Author Posted June 4, 2015 I'll try D3DGear. Thanks. I've played around with Shadowplay, but have had more headaches than success with it. Just activating SP is 50/50. Wasn't really impressed with the performance. It's still in beta IIRC. YouTube | Kick | Twitch | My Gaming Rig
*Rage* Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 I use OBS and it works very well. Recommended. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 64th "Scorpions" Aggressor Squadron Discord: 64th Aggressor Squadron TS: 195.201.110.22
trooph Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Either use obs which is completly free or mirillis actiin which is great and uses cuda or amd app for recording and its lossless in quality and uses near 0 cpu with amd/cuda or just a bit with cpu encoding.
Python Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 I struggled with DXTory and Fraps in DCS, then I discovered Shadowplay and didn't look back. Works fine even with my now aging GXT 680 SC. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
