Hi all. I've been using FRAPS for quite a LONG time now.
My problem is somewhat strange, I have a decent computer, and the games I record have no problem recording at 40+ frames a second. For the past 6 months I've used FRAPS no problem. But then all of a sudden, I'm getting strange lag surges.
What happens in this; I start recording and everything is running smoothly. Then, all of a sudden the frames drop from 50 to 4 in a few seconds. I've taken into consideration that the areas of the game I'm recording do not impact the performance or frames of the game whilst recording.
It's strange. I was playing FEAR last night, recording was smooth for about 20 minutes, and then while I was recording at an average 40 frames a second basically everywhere in the level, the frames dropped to 5 frames in just under a few seconds. This kept continuing as I tried in vain to record. It made it impossible.
I don't know what is going on. I thought maybe I needed more HDD space, but I still have over 100 gig free. I've started a new folder to store the movie files in, still no change. This lag is really bugging me.
I have not made any changes to anything, and now it's lagging for me.
Could anyone assist me please?
