How to disable in-game recording?

[bigbenisdaman]

is there a way? I tried to just delete the keybindings but it won't let you exit until you do.

I set mine to a tiny tiny saved filesize limit so that when I accidentally turn it on it turns itself off after a second. Dunno if that'll help you, though.

Yea i got it set to 256mb. Main reason is I got ptt set to number key 0, since i play with controller and that's uusally the nearest key to me while I'm lounging back. Problem is if i'm hitting 0 it always wants to record when I hit A or B on controller. There should really be an option to record or not, as I use a seprate program when I wanna record that way i don't have to use R*'s one that IDK how to work

It could be action replay that's bugging you. Try disabling it with one of the function keys.

0: Set all your other controls to how you would like them to be first so you don't have to repeat this

1: Change the controls for recording (Or whatever else you want to unbind)
I just cycled them around so the action that was f1 is now f2, f2 is now f3 and f3 is f1

2: Navigate to
%USER%\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA V\Profiles\%RANDOM%\control
(I think, I have a RockstarWarehouse copy of the game, if you can find where your save files are you should be able to find the folder titled 'control')

3: Open user.xml with notepad or some other text editor

4: find code that looks like:

<Item>
<Input>INPUT_REPLAY_START_STOP_RECORDING</Input>
<Source>IOMS_KEYBOARD</Source>
<Parameters>
<Item>KEY_F2</Item>
</Parameters>
</Item>

(The second line with be different for different actions, and third will be different, I have a MicroSoft keyboard)

5: Then delete 'KEY_F2' (or whatever you set yours to) between the second <item> tags, so for this action it should look like:

<Item>
<Input>INPUT_REPLAY_START_STOP_RECORDING</Input>
<Source>IOMS_KEYBOARD</Source>
<Parameters>
<Item></Item>
</Parameters>
</Item>

6: Repeat for each action you want unbinded

7: Save the file and restart the game

You can look at your key bindings in game and see they are blank (hopefully). It will give you the alert when you goto exit, but it won't reassign those keys.

BUT if you want to change any other keys then you have to manually rebind all those blank actions yourself and then change what you want and then redo this process to unbind what you don't want again, that's why I added step 0.

There is ways around that by editing the user.xml but that is more complicated, people who could do that can probably figure it out themselves.

I am aware that this thread is probably no longer relevant to you but hopefully anyone like me searching for this in the future will find this helpful.

Thanks, and yea, its still very relevent as i found no fix yet as of yet, just been dealing with it. Ima try this this evening when i get on.

Make a copy of user.xml first just encase, when you are editing files like this it is always a good idea to have the original.

Is there any way to permanently disable Action Replay? I'm so sick and tired of it activating on its own randomly just because I'm spamming A to sprint.

nope. All you can do is limit it to lowest disk usage and when it maxes out you effectively disabled it.

Disable the Write permission of your Videos folder (C:\users\user\documents\rockstargames\GTAV\).
This way the game still tries to save videos but fails...

Yeah this is the easiest way.
