New Vegas Replay Support?

[Perplexed]

I cannot get OBS or Geforce Instant replay to capture gameplay from my modded New Vegas. So many hilarious things occur that i'd like to clip but it always is just a black screen, any help?

OBS works for nearly anything, vulkan, opengl, directx... usually the most common thing is when you have a CPU that has an integrated GPU and it defaults to that. Add OBS Studio to the Graphics page, and then set it to Performance, it'll always pull content off the dedicated GPU that way.

If it's not that, hit up OBS's forum not here; https://obsproject.com/forum/

Im not sure it's an issue with OBS because i have no problems using any of these features with other games, it's just New Vegas and I assume it may have something to do with the fact that i'm using DXVK https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/79299 I'm using it to keep the game in fullscreen so it runs smoothly but also allows me to alt tab freely without breaking the game, but i'm pretty sure it's messing something up with the game being captured, the only thing that actually pick up the game is streaming it on discord but discord doesn't have a feature for saving the last 5 minutes.

Edit:After removing DXVK I can now get the Geforce Overlay to display but it still is just black in the recording.

it's quite happy with vulkan and that's a lot less overhead... put dxvk back in.

it's probably the same reason - my guess is it's one of two things, it's no permissions to spy on FNV's output (check your OBS log, it logs a considerable amount of technical info), or it's Bethesda's "it just works!" attitude... they are notorious for using DX tricks that aren't exactly standard or well-supported, and Obsidian didn't really mod the engine much when they did FNV so it's very if 3 does it, NV probably will too.

How about this? if game mode capture won't work, don't use it. Instead set the game to borderless windowed mode and OBS to window capture, and I'm guessing you'll be gone and playing and recording and won't even come back to say thanks. :-)

I had previously just tried using one tweak on it's own without DXVK and noticed significant performance loss while trying to run the game windowed as I run a HEAVILY modded load order so I ditched One Tweak which allows border-less window and used DXVK on fullscreen instead. But I had never tried using One-Tweak now in conjunction with DXVK and wouldn't you know it, the recording captures everything just fine now. Performance also seems to have not dipped any but i'll have to play test it for a bit to make sure. Thank you so much! not being able to save my clips was annoying me so much.

Update: It does appear that running the game in border-less window adds a bit of stutter, it's definitely playable i'm just used to how buttery smooth everything feels with full-screen, doubt I'll be able to have the best of both worlds.

DOUBLE UPDATE: For some reason after turning border-less window off and going back to full screen i'm now still able to record my clips, not sure what happened, maybe it modified a file like you previously mentioned about FNV output permissions? Regardless i'm a very happy man :)

check out an NVSE mod called NV Tick Fix... we used to enforce a 64Hz frame generation to bypass that particular annoyance on modern machines, but NVTF[www.nexusmods.com] is a godsend for those that get microstuttering caused by the frame pacing issue.

re: permissions issues, some people think that running a game as administrator is the be-all end-all answer to solving various issues with old games, when it rarely fixes anything, but then since then it's running in the context of administrator, everything that interfaces to it also would have to run as administrator, since that's not only a different user, that's this system's GOD and God says stop trying to capture my screen output.

Yeah i've already been using NV Tick Fix it has helped quite a lot, i'm almost out of plugin slots lol

yeah? more than me, 100-something, but you know if someone figures out a way to ESLify mods for FO3/NV, or a dynamic way to fake-merge mods that doesn't involve actually manually merging them, they'll become internet famous overnight. :-)

and btw NVSE .dll type mods don't count, so you probably have more active than you think!
