Shadowplay

[Nex]

So Shadowplay isn't working due to Wallpaper engine running in the background, thinks its a game. Anyone know how to disable it for wallpaper engine and use it for other games still.

Don't they have some kind of options in GeForce experience to customize anything for specific applications? Maybe you could use the desktop recording feature to mitigate it?

[Nex]

Nothing to deselect games sadly.


Anything you could possibly do your end?

I have left feedback and written a support ticket, I'll keep you posted.

Nothing I know about. I already have the Nvidia SDK in my project to create a custom driver profile, but I can't see anything in there that would allow me to configure their software to ignore Wallpaper Engine.

They just detect everything that uses hardware acceleration except for certain applications they manually excluded (like Chrome or Steam). So they either need to add Wallpaper Engine or make it possible for users to configure this at least.

Maybe is the GeForce experience version. Shadowplay works fine for me but I use the Geforce experience 2.0 ( I didn't like that "you need an account" version , nah nah)

Contacted Nvidia about this. Said that they have escalated it to their "level 2 team" and that they will get back to me. I'll keep you guys updated.

You're a star.

"My name is Derek and your support request has been escalated to me. I will try to help you with it moving forward. You mentioned others have been talking about this online, can you send me a link to a forum or something similar? I would like to gather some information about the problem.

The information you were told earlier is correct, you cannot, for example turn the fps counter on/ff for specific applications.

Given the nature of WE I am going to submit a feature enhancement request to have it addressed though. I cannot comment on when you may or may not see a fix for it however.

In the interim you can use a keyboard shortcut to enable/disable the FPS counter (Alt + F12)

If you linked this thread to him, the executables that Shadowplay would have to ignore are wallpaper32.exe, wallpaper64.exe, webwallpaper32.exe. He can also e-mail me ( [e-mail] ) in case there is anything I can configure though an NVAPI profile or similar.

I have the same problem... I also have a problem with my mic and shadowplay, and funny thing is Derek is also the person i got my problem escalated too....

i'd still like to use shadowplay though, this is a bug that needs to be fixed.

I have actually opened their DLL files in notepad recently and they added all program names for the exclusions by now. It also works on my personal system, but it doesn't work for you apparently.

So perhaps your version of Geforce Experience doesn't have these yet, but their entire exclusion system might also not be working on your PC at all. If updating Geforce Experience or the drivers doesn't help, you should tell Nvidia, so they can get the necessary information from you to reproduce the issue and fix their overlay further.
