Hey everyone,
I figured this may be the second best place to ask this question - the first being the fraps website itself (which I will do tomorrow).
I have always been a fan of "Let's play <game>", and I wanted to record my play through of this awesome game. Unfortunately the recording software I use (fraps) does not seem to even realize the game is up and running. It's the strangest thing - all other games it can detect (from those on emulators, run through Impulse/Steam, stand alone executables, etc) but it just can't ever sense the Spirit Engine 2 up and running.
I was wondering if anyone else has attempted to record TSE2 with fraps and ran into trouble. Thanks in advance for any assistance. If I find out why this doesn't work I'll respond to this post with the answer, but in the meanwhile I am hoping someone else out there may have run across this problem and the solution to it.  |

I've no idea why it might do that but have you tried running in different windows? i.e. fullscreen or different scaling as opposed to what you might use normally? I think TSE2 does have some sort of screen focus code in it, but I've no idea how it would effect Fraps :S
Good luck with the Let's Play thing though, I love those things... |

Bah, I discovered the reason. Posting it here so anyone else who wanted to fraps the game knows it just won't be possible (unfortunately).

Which makes sense - and was confirmed by several other question/answer posts I discovered yesterday. This leaves me with no choice but to hunt for another type of video recording software that can capture the screen as I play. I've heard good things about HyperCam so I'll give that a shot, although if anyone here can recommend another video/sound capturing program I'd love to get opinions. Thanks in advance! |
