How to record games

[MasterMind 1]

Hi guys i seen good battles on youtube and i'd like to share my games, i wonder what are the tech requirements (i have crappy pc) and the program used to record. Thank you

tell us your pc specs, it depends on your hardware/OS which recorder is good. If it's too old then you can't use real time x264 encoding for example

Thank you for the reply: i have a windows with intel pentium cpu 2.20 gh.z, ram 4.0 gb, 32 bit system.

what about graphic spec. ?

[FunkyFr3sh 189]

What windows? What pentium cpu?

 

For very old pc's with XP/VIsta/7 you can use Growlers Guncam, it even runs on a old Athlon XP with 256mb ram.

If you have a hardware encoder (exists since 6 years I think) you can try OBS or Bandicam.

Newer pc's can easily record with x264 real time encoding (high quality) using OBS

 

Bandicam is easy to use, but not free.

OBS is free but not easy to use.

You could also use fraps or xsplit gamecaster.

Xsplit offers a 14 day trial and ive used it very easily but you could with decent fibre conn really using xsplit to make most of it

I try to use Dxtory, it registeredthe Yuri client, but not the game.

Is there any settings ?

I switch to Yuri's revenge profil, but i got only black screen during the video. Yet i can heard the sound of the game..

You need to record before start the game and play

I do, 

 

so i see the Cncnet screen, then loading screen, then when the game start it's black screen with the sound of the game (construction, ready etc...) . 

But all black, no image. When the game is over, the image come back.

OBS with display capture or window capture, not game capture.

I prefer Bandicam, tiny, simple and great recordings.

But my general advice for you, if you want your video to be smooth, buy a new comp/laptop. It is 2017.
