yoohoo94 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Bug SubmissionPlease choose a category [Graphics] PlatformSteamVersion Number - Issue title Game Incompatible with FRAPS Screen-Capture Steps to reproduce 1. Open Don't Starve2. Run FRAPS3. Press capture button Describe your issue I am currently using version 3.5.9 of the well-known FRAPS screen-capture software. When I try to capture while playing Don't Starve, it does not work, meaning that it does not capture what is going on on-screen, nor does it record auido/voice. I am not sure if this is a problem with FRAPS or with Don't Starve, so I thought I would bring up the issue just in case it is a problem with the game. I hope that this helps.

Pink_Luigi Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I've found that Video Capture also does not function. It seems Fraps doesn't connect with DS at all. Which makes me sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0urmy Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Tested, works fine with Fraps 3.4.7, no issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potian Dragoon Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I am using Fraps 3.4.7 and I can not get it to work at all -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldReactive Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Yeah, I can't capture it with fraps either. (I can't use DWM capture on Windows 8 by the way.)I'm using 3.5.9 (Full paid version.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeggit Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I'm using Fraps 3.4.5 and it usually does not work. The issue seems to be other software taking precedence, half the time when I'm in Don't Starve and I hit F10 I get a screenshot of the Logitech Gaming Software window which I use for my G13 keyboard.

The issue seems to be other software taking precedence, half the time when I'm in Don't Starve and I hit F10 I get a screenshot of the Logitech Gaming Software window which I use for my G13 keyboard.I use CTRL+F9, no other program on my computer uses that key-binding. No, using just F9 doesn't work. No, starting fraps first then don't starve doesn't work.See this page as to why I can't use DWM Recording on Windows 8: http://frapsforum.com/threads/fraps-doesnt-start-stop-recording.2287/Recording works fine in other programs like Minecraft.

coldReactive Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Here's a thread from the fraps forum about it, though they can't do anything either it seems:http://frapsforum.com/threads/dont-starve-steam-game-is-incompatible.2345/#post-10634 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massgamer Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Seemed to work fine for me? Idk why that would happen to ya.. Tho i start fraps and then don't starve but non the point, I'll get random spike drops in fps when i make the video too long (around 5-10mins) that'll only stop once i stop recording, Which i can't understand why it does so because its not like theres a memory issue..

Developer Kevin Posted December 11, 2012 Developer Share Posted December 11, 2012 That's odd. I use fraps to collect the footage for the preview videos. Are you all using the up-to-date version of FRAPS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you all using the up-to-date version of FRAPS?I use 3.5.9 fraps, so yeah. As a note, since I'm using Windows 8, I can't use the DWM option in fraps, maybe you're using that?

Potian Dragoon Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I got fraps to work!I ran fraps then I ran Don't Starve as normal (in full screen) then when I swapped out of full screen into windowed mode, It detected the game and allowed me to capture it! I have been making vids all day today - should of posted it here earlier but I forgot -_-I hope that this helps some of you that are still having troubles.

I have been making vids all day today - should of posted it here earlier but I forgot -_-I hope that this helps some of you that are still having troubles.How am I supposed to record 1080p then? I can't do windowed mode at 1080p since that's my max resolution.I switched to windowed mode, and it still wouldn't let me capture it sadly. I switched back to full screen, and now my refresh rate was forced back to 50 from 60 for some reason (another bug to report.)So I guess I can't simply use fraps to record Don't Starve I can get camstudio to record it (without any sound), but the framerate is awful (because camstudio doesn't hook, it records anything and everything on-screen), and file size can't go over 2 GB, or else camstudio will crash.

Artem Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Works fine to me.- - - Updated - - -p.s. Windows 8 isn't compatible with most of screen capture software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldReactive Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 p.s. Windows 8 isn't compatible with most of screen capture software.It works fine if fraps can hook into the game like it should be able to. But it can't. Skyrim works fine with fraps on Windows 8, Minecraft works fine on Windows 8, heck, even latale works fine on Windows 8 (fullscreen only. XTrap causes latale to close if I use windowed mode and fraps.)Remember, fraps never used to be able to monitor DWM, as XP and prior never had it DirectX / OpenGL compatible.
