Anyone else using Bandicam and find it irritating

[Zepondrax]

Anyone else using bandicam to record gameplay? Most games im playing Bandicam gets right in the way. You cant move it from the top of the screen to the bottom so of course when im adventuring through an area its fine, as soon as i get to a boss battle, i need to move the cursor to the top what happens....BANDICAM gets in the way and thinks i clicked on it when I didnt, and of course the game minimises back to desktop, and causes the game to crash.

Alice in madness is a prime example Bandicam is fine in the journey through and the cutscenes but as soon as I move the cursor to the top BANDICAM shows up and causes the game to minimise and crash. 5 times its done this. I have tried minimising BANDICAM to the system tray (its an option) no that doesnt wk still gets in the way. I tried an option where you can shade out Banidcam to make it lighter doesnt work.

I have tried other game recorders which are rubbish by the way. I tried XBOX Game bar one day, it said it was recoridng my gameplay, when i checked it hadnt recorded it at all, I have tried STEAM RECORDER....thats rubbish and always broken in some way and puts the recorded clips in the wrong order....

what do others use? I tried another one MOVAVI by GECATA....you get 10 minutes max record time (Trial) and it leaves a watermark on your videos...

FRUSTRATING ....

Use steam recording

U can set steam recording to a shortcut key like screenshots as well. It's been literal years since I've done it tho so it's probably changed.

I mentioned this. I was happy with that for a while but it broke and then put all my clips round the wrong way so when it came to join them together it was hard to tell what went where.

I think its still in BETA and its terrible. I did like Gecata by MOVAVI for a while but it puts watermarks on videos. XBOX recorder was bad. Says its recording, I had the recording timer on my screen in the corner and it didnt record my gameplay last time I used it.

OH OBS,...I remember using that terrible one. The quality of the output was abysmal. It was awful output, and was complicated for a recorder.I uninstalled it and never used again

I've tried Steam Recorder, the only drawback is that the videos are short. OBS I believe is good, although I've only used it once and that was several years ago.

I now use NVidia for all my videos, it seems to work well, so I'll stick with that.

Bandicam is getting on my nerves

if im playing a game and bandicam in in the system tray, i move my cursor in game to the top of the screen and of course bandicam comes up thinking I clicked on it when I didnt so it pauses the game, then other times it keeps minimising my games, like I played Alice Madness Returns today and 5 times Bandicam got in the way and minimised my gameplay during a boss battle or an important fight then the game crashed so I had to repeat the same area 4-5 times. Doesnt help when im recording

Yeah true if only there were settings you could change haha..

This is why I used unregistered hypercam 2

[Zepondrax]

According to the website it saves the file as AVI urghh

At least Bandicam saves it MP4 but doesnt compress it though. Steam recorder I htink compresses.
