Need some help with recording this game

[echo1]

I have shadowplay but I can't record the game. I have no option for 'desktop capture' in shadowplay, which should appear below the monitor. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

Didn't tried that myself! (gtx 970)
But I would recommend OBS because it is free! (open broadcast software)

Maybe it is easier if we find out how to use Shadowplay but with OBS it WORKS :)

Thats odd seeing that I have already recorded this game using shadowplay a few times now. I uploaded this video here using shadowplay as well

Does it maybe help to re-install GeForce Experience? Or just ShadowPlay?

I would say: Just test that and please report if that helps :)

Don't worry, Driver keeps up to date. It's just the software that should be re-installed!
sometimes it has problems with whatever :)

Does your GPU support Shadowplay? I record using Afterburner, myself. I use OBS to stream. My laptop doesn't officially support Shadowplay, and only works some of the time, but I never like the quality.

It probably has to do with the software on your side then because I my GPU does support shadowplay, I recorded that little piece with an MSI GTX 970. What is your laptop specs?

Google said re-install GeForce Experience

As I said, my GPU doesn't support Shadowplay. I can use it unofficially, but I don't like the results. I am running 2 GT750m's in SLI mode. I accept that my laptop doesn't support Shadoway and use alternatives.

I've found that it's fine for streaming some things on my machine, but because of how dark A:I is, it doesn't look as good on my machine. I'm fine with the setup I have.

Hi guys, thanks for all your replies. I did not expect to see so much helpful advice. I re-dowloaded geforce experience and I am able to see 'desktop capture ' now when shadowplay is turned off, but when shadowplay is turned on it dissapears. So I still can't enable 'desktop capture'. I read this from a forum:

Right-click on Computers > Select "Properties" > Select "Advanced System Settings" > Select the "Advanced" tab > Select "Settings" Under Performance >

here you can select "Let Windows Choose what's best for my computer" or "Custom" and make sure "Use visual styles on windows and buttons" is enabled.

This will allow you to use the "Allow Desktop Capture" setting

However, I am having great difficulty following the above advice as I can't find 'computers' let alone right click it. Any idea, where it is. I'm sure its very easy to find, but I am nonethelesss really stuck. Thanks again.

I think it means the "Computer" Icon from your PC on your Desktop :D

When you turn shadowplay on and the option disappears, do you now see a kind of desktop on the monitor in that window? What happens for me is that, when shadowplay is off, I can see the desktop capture option and a blank monitor in that window. When I turn shadowplay on, the option disappears, but now the monitor is no longer blank, but has a desktop displayed in it. This meant I could record the desktop. Desktop recording works fine for me.

Also, what operating system are you using and is it a laptop or a desktop computer?

[☆Heike'sFootSlave™☆]

I would say (in case of what echo1 is using) it is a desktop PC because he is using a GTX 970 from msi!

I have a gaming laptop. It has 16 GB worth of hard drive and a GTX 980m Graphics card.

[☆Heike'sFootSlave™☆]

WOW! Sorry my fault I thought because of reading MSI GTX 970 (near the Video) you have a Desktop PC!

Does your laptop have an integrated GPU as well as the dedicated GPU?

Desktop Capture in Shadowplay isn't officially supported on laptop GPU's. There is a workaround, but it only works if Optimus is disabled (meaning there is only the dedicated GPU or the laptop is only using the dedicated GPU.)

Here is the workaround:

Open regedit.exe.
Go to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\ShadowPlay\NVSPCAPS.

Find DwmEnabled and DwmEnabledUser. If you don't have DwmEnabledUser, go to Edit>New>Binary Value and create it.

Change the values for these from 00 00 00 00 to 01 00 00 00.

That worked for me. But, I have a Y510p running in SLI, which disabled Optimus on my laptop.

If you do have Optimus, there may be a way to run only on the GPU, but I don't know how to do that.
