Barlakopofai Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I've been trying to record the game for two days now, no hope. I'm playing the Ultimate Collection version, and here are the problems 1. Fraps does not recognize Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2 2. Red Alert 2 cannot tab out while open 3. Origin blocks the game from being run in Windowed mode, because the expansion pack window that opens makes it ignore command lines 4. OBS cannot screen capture the monitor with that game on it 5. OBS cannot screen capture a game that is not open yet There's seriously not a single person that can help me fix this anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barlakopofai Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Good news, I spent 47$ on Fraps to spend another 49$ on Bandicam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barlakopofai Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 That's good you have both. Some games don't record well on bandicam and for those games I use fraps like phantasy star online games record better with fraps. Bandicam can record a lot of games better than fraps tho. However for games bandicam has issue with theres always fraps. I don't have both, I just told you, I don't have Bandicam and I'm not spending another 50$ on a recording software to record one game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Fraps is for opengl games, Red Alert 2 is not opengl. However, some versions of TS-DDraw use opengl so you can probably use it to record red alert 2. For red alert 1 and cnc1 you will need to enable opengl in the settings too. I'm not sure if these are the opengl versions, but give them a try (extact them into your game folder): http://funkyfr3sh.cncnet.org/files/ts-ddraw.7z http://funkyfr3sh.cncnet.org/files/win8-fix.7z Those were only tested in cncnet online games tho, might be that those are not working in singleplayer mode since there could be problems with the menus aaaand -> I use growlers guncam, it seems to work for all games http://www.growlersoftware.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barlakopofai Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 It works with the origin version, if it doesn't work for you then it's a different story Well if I applied the patch to the Origin version of the game and all it did was crash it, I think it qualifies :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barlakopofai Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 Anyways, new problem The fun machine takes a shit and dies when I start recording. Everything else still runs at perfectly good speed, but the game just decides it will not submit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fir3w0rx Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Good news, I spent 47$ on Fraps to spend another 49$ on Bandicam If you're only recording multiplayer RA2/YR matches (which usually don't go for that long), Bandicam has a free version that allows you to record 10 minute files.

Plus, I'm sure your PC must be so great if you hang out on CnCnet. Can you even run Command and Conquer Red Alert 3? Actually, I'm gonna go record C&C 3, to see if that's recordable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampastring Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I have no issues recording Tiberian Sun / DTA (with TS-DDRAW) using OBS. But I have to use the AMD VCE encoder for the video, it doesn't seem to work with other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampastring Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I'm sure I won't have a problem with Tiberian Sun either, except I don't really like that game :I The RA2 and TS engines are very similar. If you have a problem with one game, you'd likely have a problem with the other game as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
