Recording gameplay help

[kalilachan]

Hey guys...I'am wanting to do a lets play of @umbralshadows 's Aibou... But when I try to record it along with the record with Mic function or using audacity it just lags the game a lot.. Any ideas what I can do?

What program do you use ?
I know there is Fraps (need a licence).
OBS (freeware)
Shadowplay (require an Nvidia GPU)

I know with these programs there is a mic option if you like your voice in it or not.

One called Loilo Recorder. I promised him I'll make a play through for him along with commentary

I honestly never heard of Loilo Recorder, I'd recommend getting OBS, it isn't hard to use.
I used Shadowplay before, it is super easy and start with 1 click, the video quality is very good, but a minute video is easily 2GB big.

Yea I have OBS... But last time I tried It lagged.... Might have to mess around with its quality settings etc.

I use Icecream screen recorder for recording, doesn't lag the game too much. Although I have troubles with sound recording...

Well OBS is a good free recording tool. I tried both lolio and icecream recorder before, OBS is still my best option.
If it lags, I suggest looking the best settings possible on YouTube.

does it lag *the game* or does it lag *the final recording*?
if it lags *the game*, chances are it's still lagging *the final recording*

if it's just the recording, then it's a sampling problem.
it could be that the game itself is too processor-heavy, and there's nothing you can do to it.
if that's the case, there are ways around it, but I'm not sure of it when it comes to commentaries though.

Well if I'm not running anything the game runs fine.

If you have the latest Windows 10, it actually comes with a recorder. If I remember correctly, Hit "Alt + G" while play testing to bring up a window and hit the check box to tell this is a game to record. Then the next step I believe was Alt + R. Really neat!

But the Nvidia recorder was even better if that is your graphic card and if it is on your computer. I can't believe it has been so long since I have used it but the shortcut to record was something weird anyway. ^^; If needed I'll try to search it up if asked. I found this recording program on my computer and was really happy it came with Nvidia graphic card!

I'll have a try at that
