Vista - Fraps 3FPS

RatchetSK · 02-03-2009

Hello and Im glad U R reading my first post ever here.

Im running DooM3 and Worms 3D on Vista HP 32bit. When I start recording with fraps, it slows down to exactly 3FPS. It does NOT do the same with Crysis however. I didnt try other games yet, but what do U think may be the problem?

rather strange, i think it maybe older games that are the problem, i tried recording ultimate doom for windows 95 for proof i got it working on vista 64, and it slowed my framerate to 10fps but the framerate before recording was only 30, so it maybe something to do with newer versions of fraps.

Hi,

I tried TrackMania United Forever v2.11.17sk and runs at ~50FPS.

Those other games still at 3FPS.

BTW: I use Fraps 2.9.8

I have no clue but I think that FRAPS can't read older games as it was made for newer games?

Also, if you played Crysis w/Fraps and it didn't do it, I think you shouldn't worry to much about it, although, I know I would be wanting to know why as well...

No much help here I guess

I tried the same games on my old PC with Win XP 32bit and worked perfectly. I really dont know what may be the problem... Ill ask Fraps support for help.

do you have v sync enabled? what fps do you have fraps set to record to? what primary sound capture device are you using?

**AstaLaVista** · 02-04-2009

Perhaps the Fraps you are using does not support Vista?

**archie123** · 02-04-2009

its supported Vista for a while mate , had a few bugs with sound capture and the like but its all sorted now , FRAPS is a fantastic utility and works brilliant on my 64 bit rig

Have you increased the frames it records at. Just manually set it to 100fps or something.
