Fraps?

[AARPRazorbacks]

I have try'ed all the things talked about in this thread and Fraps just will not work with the retail latest patch that was downloaded.

I still had the old retail parts saved and fraps works along with other things like fuel load and gb campaign mission with out the plane crashing instead of flying over the hill, and the sound work like thy should.
CLoD really works better with this patch anyway.

Some say that fraps works with the new patch. Some say it only works in windows mode. Some say like me that it just does not work no matter what thy do.

The last patch was made for online anyway so I will stay with the earlier retail patch.

Do I think there are trolls that would like to see this sim fail. Does a wood chuck chuck wood? This is just IMO.

With 'changescreenres' to 0 , fraps appears on the game load screens but when you try to record ingame live footage it dose not work , im not surprised as these so called patches are causing as many problems as they are solving.

Fraps is recording but I have just noticed that the Frame counter is intermittently bleeding through onto the recordings. There is definitely a conflict with the official patch that wasn't there before and it seems to be with screen resolution.

Unfortunately, I didn't back up prior to the official patch and was quite happy with it. Not sure I can roll back to beta or pre beta either as the files that were changed are different.

I wonder if its possible to get a copy of the pre official patch 'Parts' folder in the SteamApps - Common directory?

May be someone could donate one for us who are having problems.

So if you have a a pre patch install.....HELP!............ lol

Ok I have also tried everything to get FRAPS working in the latest version, followed all the tips posted here to no avail so i will be sticking with the beta patch and avoid online play untill it is fixed or another solution is found

Had a chance to look at this problem this evening. Below are the settings on my rig that now allow Fraps to display and record, any others and it won't function with the official patch.

It's now working fine, in full screen with no intermittent FPS counter bleed on the recordings. Not ideal I know, but if you cannot roll back (I'm in that boat!) may be these settings will work for you untill this is fixed.


If you try the following, start a mission but wait a few seconds for the fps counter to show - there is a delay.


1. Changescreenres must be 0 (selecting another Clod screen res in video menu or changing from Full screen to Off settings seems to reset this this back to 1 - worth checking it has not been reset).

2. The monitor aero checkbox in Fraps must be enabled.

3 Aero must be enabled

4. On my rig, my screen res matches the game resolution set in my 1cSoftclub conf. file

5. FPS counter intermittently bleeds through to the recording if I have the info window open in the same loaction as the FPS counter. I have moved the fps counter to the bottom right of the screen.

Thanks SEE, these steps got FRAPS working again in-game for me.

I noticed though that it resulted in 'Full-Screen' being switched to 'OFF' in the game's video menu, with a resolution of 1024x768 also being selected. Even though the game still actually ran in a full-screen mode at a higher than 1024x768 resolution.

If, however, I then selected 'Okay' to those video settings, I'd then have to restart the game to apply them. And if I did so, the game would restart in Windowed mode @1024x768.

That suggests to me, when one selects ChangeScreenRes=0 but doesn't re-apply it in-game, the game is actually being played in a 'Psuedo' full-screen mode, and FRAPS, being set to 'Monitor Aero desktop' can still track it as if it's the desktop itself. But that's all just guesswork on my part.

What I also found though, was that I could set the 'Full-Screen' mode to 'Psuedo' in-game, and your fix would still apply. However, upon exiting the game, the ChangeScreeRes setting in my config file had been changed to 'ChangeScreenRes=2'.

So, I'd actually recommend using 'ChangeScreenRes=2' (Psuedo Full Screen), as it allows you to change and apply other settings in the game's 'Video' settings menu if you want to, without the game then reverting to Windowed mode.

At last i got FRAPS working in latest patch using pseudo mode ty and also using the advice above

Glad it worked for you guys too, and thanks for your observations and tech advice LES, I will change my changescreenres flag to 2.
