Game Recording - Exports 4K footage at 38.96 FPS

[sharko]

Hi, so I've been playing multiple games at 4K footage and when I want to export said footage to share it, it's always being exported at 38.96FPS regardless of the bitrate, framerate and resolution settings I've chosen.

i exported a few clips at 1440p and they don't really seem to be at 60fps when i even choose the option and had it enabled in settings(plus it is hard to tell if its even recording at 60fps if you play games above 60fps). also some games it doesn't really record in 1440p or above even if the ingame res is not 1440p. other than that the quality looks good even when i uploaded a clip on yt its just the fps doesn't feel like a clean 60. if that makes sense

Check your exported footage's framerate by right-clicking the file, click Properties and check "Frame rate", I have some footage that exports at 36.20 FPS, other footage that exports at 38.96 FPS and that's really annoying.

Like the footage's fine and seems to be at native resolution when viewing it through Steam but when exporting said footage that's where the issue happens

This is also happening for me as well at 1440p after the update last week that broke exporting (though my frame rate on export seems to be slightly different than what the user above posted).

Previously recording quality was set to "default" which notes 1080p but no frame rate. All of my exported videos prior to the update last week that modified and broke exporting were exporting at 60fps. That is no longer occurring as of last week's update that broke exporting and the subsequent patch. Today I manually set it to 24 Mbps (2k 60fps) because a video I recorded on the old patch still exported at less than 60fps (it also seems like the player itself prior to export is lower than 60fps as it is noticeably less smooth). The video I recorded and exported today even at the higher recording quality was 31.93 fps. I made sure all settings were set to 60fps prior to exporting AND recording.

It seems like the export process is fine, but the internal settings for the pre-export recording are the problem in my case since the in-client player is also playing at an FPS noticeably lower than 60fps. I am not seeing 60fps for the in-client player to reiterate so the behavior seems different than the user above.

I have all options enabled for GPU hardware encoding, HEVC video code, etc. I don't see any settings that were suggested in other topics that would cause the problem I'm encountering as it was working perfectly fine for weeks prior to the most recent patches.

Edit: It would be nice if for some reason it doesn't look like this can be easily be fixed the devs would consider reverting to the previous export system that did work. Specifying the export directory and a few other options isn't worth the FPS and export issues that have been introduced. I know this is a lot to ask as a software developer myself but the low frame rate issues essentially make the videos totally unusable in any modern context.

Doesn't matter what you do, right now you will not see above 40fps on anything related to the steam record feature

[sharko]

Yeah and I assume this bug was introduced with the last Steam Game Recording update

I was just trying this out, and same thing. I play at 1440p, and all the exports looked off. I checked in vlan, and they show up as 39.133916 fps. Windows properties says 39.06 fps.
