0xDEADBEEF Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) Hey guys! I've just spent a couple of hours googling and checking forum threats and I have absolutely no success. I use a MSI GTX970 and set up shadowplay - seemed like an easy feat. However. It simply does not record. Period. first i would not even get the overlay - at all. I then checked the allow to record desktop checkmark, now I at least get the overlay, and the overlay says it is recording. I sometimes get the DCS loading screen pop up shortly, mostly after starting recording and after stopping it. However. There are NO files in the specified folders (neither temp nor save-folder). I'm stuck. I even tried to contact nvidias customer server, which seems to does not even exist for software :doh: Anyone got any hints what I can try or maybe someone had a similar problem and got it solved? (system is brandnew, latest drivers, fresh Win10) thanks! Edit: partially solved. I was using Win10 N without the Mediaplayer. Seems this also includes all videoplayback and other media-backend files that are needed to handle video in the operating system. Dowloading a mediakit (which took 3 attempts to find the only working most current dl on ms.com). It still only works with recording desktop enabled. If anyone has an idea how to get it working without desktop enabled that would be very much appreciated! Edited March 12, 2016 by 0xDEADBEEF
SharpeXB Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Does Shadowplay work in other games but just not DCS? I've noticed it does not work in X-Plane 10 for some reason but I have been able to use it successfully with DCS. Can you set Shadowplay to record your desktop? Will that work? i9-14900KS | ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO | 64GB DDR5 5600MHz | iCUE H150i Liquid CPU Cooler | ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 4090 OC | Windows 11 Home | 2TB Samsung 980 PRO NVMe | Corsair RM1000x | LG 48GQ900-B 4K OLED Monitor | CH Fighterstick | Ch Pro Throttle | CH Pro Pedals | TrackIR 5
WinterH Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 After starting DCS, hit Alt + Enter for making it fullscreen. After doing this, it records for me. Since 1.5, even if you check full screen in options, sim seem to start windowed for somereason.

0xDEADBEEF Posted March 12, 2016 Author Posted March 12, 2016 Can you set Shadowplay to record your desktop? Will that work? Yes, in the settings screen below the image of the screen. After starting DCS, hit Alt + Enter for making it fullscreen. After doing this, it records for me. Since 1.5, even if you check full screen in options, sim seem to start windowed for somereason. This sir has finally solved it! Thank you very much!
104th_Maverick Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 You can also check the box marked "Desktop Capture" in ShadowPlay options, this enables recording without having to Alt+Enter! I got help with this a few weeks ago! I still use the Alt+Enter method tho, all my latest videos were captured with ShadowPlay... I love it!

Bucic Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) With Alt+ENTER DCS gets a big boost in performance. Maybe not in average FPS but in how smooth it runs (frametimes?). Why is this not a default mode yet? Is there a report thread for the issue?

0xDEADBEEF Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 Good info guys! Thank you very much! I'm really looking forward to saving the last 10 minutes whenever something awesome happens! (Like maverick showing up on your six :music_whistling:)
