Fraps help.
I just bought Fraps today and got it all set up. It takes the screenshots just fine but when I hit the hotkey for video, it cuts the game off. Any ideas, on whats going on? Thanks in advance

Re: Fraps help.
I guess the most obvious starting point would be to make sure your hotkey isn't mapped to something else in-game.
After that, I'd start looking at the latest drivers for your vid card.
Barring that, try asking the question over at FRAPS. Here's the link for the support area:

Sorry I couldn't be of better assistance.

Re: Fraps help.
What version of FRAPS are you running?
Which game are you trying to record?
What FRAPS settings are you trying to record at?

Re: Fraps help.
Hmm... so it works on CoD2 but not CSS. I wonder if CSS is supported. Some games just don't work. I'll have to test mine out.

Re: Fraps help.

ROFL! I did that actually. I had F10 for screenshot and as soon as I pressed it, I realized how stupid I was.

Re: Fraps help.
Classic! I wouldn't have thought of that. One of the first things I do when setting up FRAPS is to map the keys to something I've never used in-game. Originally Posted by Dirtboy

Re: Fraps help.
I thought that I would never use F10 ingame. I have F9 for movie, so I thought F10 for screenshot, because the games already have their own screenshot method.

Re: Fraps help.
I meant thats what I had it set at, then I actually took a screenshot in the middle of a round and bad stuff happened. Before that, I tried to FRAPS a round of TG CSS, and the people spectating me were saying I went 10x slower. Guess my system can't handle FRAPS like that.

Re: Fraps help.
FRAPS is strongly video card dependent, and somewhat on the CPU also. You can try upping the capturing FPS in FRAPS settings, or turn down your in-game graphics and resolution settings. If it's still slowing down too much, then you need a better video card to be able to handle it.
