Is FRAPS broken with NMS?

[dimi]

the fps Counter and gameplay recorder fraps doesnt work with this game. I tried it with other games and it works perfectly fine, nms is the only game it refuses to work with. What do to fix it? I need gameplay for a video.

maybe use modern software? No problems at all with OBS

But that costs money I assume, unless I want a bad watermarked version with limited recording time.

lol this isnt unregistered hypercam of 2008, what year do you think it is :p

OBS is excellent software, the acronym stands for Open Broadcaster Software, Open meaning open source, free to use, no limits. Its used by tens of thousands of content creators, and it really is powerful and reliable software.

Nice. First time I heard of it. Will try it out.

you wont regret it, you will look back at fraps and laugh at the stone age tools you were using once you get the hang of obs

Fraps and Hypercam oh boy don't forget to use Windows Movie Maker to edit. And be sure to use this song https://youtu.be/TKfS5zVfGBc

I used fraps for the fps counter. The recording feature was a bonus that I just used for the convenience of it. It did its job, so I didn't bother getting anything else.

Nvidia Experience works great :)

Nvidia is good and also OBS. Either of those will be useful.

First off, holy crap did't know anyone used fraps the past 10 years.

Then it's worth mentioning that fraps are not a reliable FPS counter. Both nVidia and AMD have FPS counters built in to their driver software that are reliable. At least nVidia have recording software I assume that AMD also have that functionality.

Talk about entitled responses, wow. Anyway, yeah, fraps is borked with nms. Also not sure what you all are smoking, but OBS does not have an fps counter, unless you wanna start a stream/recording and watch the output for, which is even more dumb than "using old software". There's a reason why people like fraps, and that because it's simple and gets right to the point. Both riva tuner and nvidia overlays are unreliable and cumbersome, not to mention that nvidi loves it's global hotkeys, and comes with a truckload of bloatware features.

Ok, rant over. OP, if you still care, best thing is probably to use steams's fps overlay in this case. You can also add the game manually, if it's not in your library.

This thread is almost 3 years old. Why are you replying to it?

[Darth Cervantes]

I've had many issues with fraps. I honestly think OBS is the way to go.

[Daedrius]

What's with all the necro-posts lately?

[dimi]

idk why this post gets replies XD
its like 2 years old

but yeah, OBS is pretty much what I use for recording stuff. Fraps is kinda dead
