Record mission?

Anyway to record a mission? It'd be cool to post a replay on youtube.

If you have NVIDIA software, you should look into the GeForce Experience. My laptop has an AMD card, while the NVIDIA software is installed (why I don't know), but it allows me to record videos. You can also Windows + G to record, but it's not that stable and sometimes won't record that long, so try the NVIDIA. Then there's OBS Studio, as well as others, I'm sure.

Then for making videos, I use Movie Maker - Video Editor PRO for making the final video. It's about fifteen bucks on the Microsoft Store (there's a free version too if I remember correctly), s well as other software online.

EricJ, does it lag games using WIN-G or the Nvidia software or is it pretty smooth? I've got a 3060 NVIDIA card, just need to download the gefore experience. i don't see it.

They're pretty smooth actually, so there shouldn't be any issues on your end either, other than normal lag issues and the like. I've recorded online and "offline" too, and no discernable problems. And if you do have problems, it's not the recording software, unless it crashes on it's own.

Thanks a lot! I always got an nvidia thing pop up on my screen and never hit the keys. It came up as alt-z or something. I hit that and the nvidia sidescreen opened up, I just recorded my first mission thanks to you. I never even considered opening up the little nvidia message!

Nice! you can setup a specific key or key combo (I use ALT + F9 myself) instead of Alt + Z, but depending on what you're doing you may want to cut off the microphone so it's just the game, but that is just an option though, so just something to be aware of.

AMDs Adrenaline software also supports recording and streaming. I have used both nVidia and AMD to record/stream. There are parameters you can adjust to trade off between image quality/frame rate and file size/performance hit.
