Need help recording the game

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  :(

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

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/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

Does the patching work with the origin version of the game?

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.

Here's a little taste of what it looks like when I try to record

No bandicam listed and playing on a potato

Like I said, I'm not paying 50$ for just Fraps again. 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

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.

I'm sure I won't have a problem with Tiberian Sun either, except I don't really like that game :I
