Fraps?
 

After the last patch Fraps is not working in CLoD.:-x
Has this happened to you guys?:confused:

Maybe I should not have made the last video of the mission plane crashing!

Works here:

That was fast!;)

Is this with the last patch?

Yes latest patch.
(using ati videocard btw).

Refuses to capture for me aswell, but not just since this patch. Installed Fraps while running the previous official patch and it just wouldn't work in CLOD (pseudo or true fullscreen tested) but does in other 3d apps.
Same with the inbuilt screenshot function, just doesn't capture anything and pressing shift-prtscr just produces a black screen when pasted into paint.

No idea what's causing it but it's only a minor annoyance to me so not bothered either.

yes, it was the last patch. I put back the patch before the new one and Fraps works.

Darn video cards.:(

I will re download the patch and if it still is not working 1c needs to look into someone messing with the downloads. IMO!

Because thy are:evil:

The latest patch knocked Fraps out for me too. Fraps runs through the menu's, but not when I actually launch the 3D part of the game. Full screen, Psuedo and even Windowed modes make no difference.

Have currently rolled back to the Fraps compatible beta patch that was released earlier in the week and am keeping Steam in off-line mode so it doesn't try to download and re-install the latest patch. Is a bit of a compromise though. Not a viable long term solution.

I download this from Steam out of Dallas Texas.
Could this be why some people are having trouble with CLoD. Someone at the download stations are messing with the downloads?

Slechtvalk says that is is working.:o

I have found files loaded on my PC from Steam that where put in my program files in the common file that where named a strange name. I was not getting CLoD to run very good or show the effects. After I took the file out the sim and effects where great. Very strange things happing with this steam thing.:( IMO.
MS are you out there?LOL

I try ed 2 other video recording programs and thy both work in the new patch.

Fraps just stopped working.

Its in the new code. Has to be.
And the sounds. Its not just in MP there are troubles.

I like this sim but come on.

I ordered a Crucial M4 CT064M4SSD2 2.5" 64GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) just to put CLoD on.

If that does not help am not buying anything alse for my PC to try to get this sim to work like it should.

Sorry if I sound like a boo bird right now but the fraps thing is a opps sorry about that.:rolleyes:IMO.

No FRAPS in fullscreen here too. But now is fun record videos in windowed mode to fools notice the improvements in performance... :)

Same here, Fraps no longer working with this official update on my system. Can only record menus, etc.

Thanks for the tip LES, I will install the beta, I didn't try it when released as the official one was planned to follow pretty rapidly. Will keep my status 'off-line' untill a fix is found or released.


EDIT:

Not sure if you can roll back, if you can - how do you do it?

I checked the Beta download and noticed that it has a file 'bob_update04.SFS located in the beta PARTS - BOB folder. However, the official patch writes/replaces 'bob_update03.SFS and 'bob-update04.SFS' doesn't exist in my directory. Should it be there or does the official patch delete it?

Fraps stopped working too for me...makes me wonder if this was intended...mmm.
Makes me wonder because fraps should record any game and that has neen true for me for the last 5 years this is a first and i have used fraps in alot of games
Developers lets have a hot fix pls and also lets have a reply to these posts
BTW FRAPS still works in il2

Works fine here

Actually, making FRAPS impotent could be a sign 1C is beginning their re-deployment strategy as we speak. No more videos means, CLoT never happened. Now they just need to start the global deletion process. Maybe some secret code in the STEAM cloud will help with this. Could be they had a secret plan to do this for a long time. I keep my fingers crossed. :cool:

Something has screwed up with the d/l or there is a really odd conflict. May be someone could check their Steam - parts - bob folder and see if they have a 'bob_update04.SFS' in it.

Someone can give this man his pills?

FRAPS only don't work in fullscreen mode and pseudo mode. In window mode, it's working OK. Another issue in the "Clod Fullscreen Support Saga"...

Yippee! I have it working in full screen.....I changed the screenres flag to 0 in the cnfg file and also changed the height from 768 to 720. (You may not have to do the latter!) Happy bunny now...also works with my HD monitor at native res.


width=1280
height=720
ColourBits=32
FullScreen=1
ChangeScreenRes=0

Works fine for me in full screen mode:cool:

Works fine for me whether benchmarks, screenshots or films.

Full screen mode, not pseudo that is.

Just posted a small clip of minensuchboot in vids thread, done with fraps.

please expand on ya fix screenres flag
ty

Open the file named 'conf' using notepad, you will find it in:

MyDocuments- 1CSoftClub - IL-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover.

check/change the value in the line highlighted red below to 0 (ZERO) and save. Thats all I had to do to get Fraps working again.


[BOB]
EpilepsyFilter=0

[window]
DepthBits =24
StencilBits=8
DrawIfNotFocused=0
SaveAspect=0
Render=D3D10_0

width=1280
height=1024
ColourBits=32
FullScreen=1
ChangeScreenRes=0
Frequency=60
posLeft=0
posTop=0

i will try now t vmuch

No fraps for me either.

Tree UK, have you changed the conf.ini flag for 'changescreenres' to 0 as I suggested above?

The default is 1, Fraps wouldn't work for me untill I changed it to 0. It works fine now!

Will try that now, thanks for the heads up buddy. :grin:

Works for me.

I have try'ed all the things talked about in this thread and Fraps just will not work with the retail latest patch that was downloaded.

I still had the old retail parts saved and fraps works along with other things like fuel load and gb campaign mission with out the plane crashing instead of flying over the hill, and the sound work like thy should.
CLoD really works better with this patch anyway.

Some say that fraps works with the new patch. Some say it only works in windows mode. Some say like me that it just does not work no matter what thy do.

The last patch was made for online anyway so I will stay with the earlier retail patch.

Do I think there are trolls that would like to see this sim fail. Does a wood chuck chuck wood?:) This is just IMO.
good landings

With 'changescreenres' to 0 , fraps appears on the game load screens but when you try to record ingame live footage it dose not work , im not surprised as these so called patches are causing as many problems as they are solving.

Fraps is recording but I have just noticed that the Frame counter is intermittently bleeding through onto the recordings. There is definitely a conflict with the official patch that wasn't there before and it seems to be with screen resolution.

Unfortunately, I didn't back up prior to the official patch and was quite happy with it. Not sure I can roll back to beta or pre beta either as the files that were changed are different.

I wonder if its possible to get a copy of the pre official patch 'Parts' folder in the SteamApps - Common directory?

May be someone could donate one for us who are having problems.

So if you have a a pre patch install.....HELP!............ lol

Ok I have also tried everything to get FRAPS working in the latest version, followed all the tips posted here to no avail so i will be sticking with the beta patch and avoid online play untill it is fixed or another solution is found

Had a chance to look at this problem this evening. Below are the settings on my rig that now allow Fraps to display and record, any others and it won't function with the official patch.

It's now working fine, in full screen with no intermittent FPS counter bleed on the recordings. Not ideal I know, but if you cannot roll back (I'm in that boat!) may be these settings will work for you untill this is fixed.


If you try the following, start a mission but wait a few seconds for the fps counter to show - there is a delay.


1. Changescreenres must be 0 (selecting another Clod screen res in video menu or changing from Full screen to Off settings seems to reset this this back to 1 - worth checking it has not been reset).

2. The monitor aero checkbox in Fraps must be enabled.

3 Aero must be enabled

4. On my rig, my screen res matches the game resolution set in my 1cSoftclub conf. file

5. FPS counter intermittently bleeds through to the recording if I have the info window open in the same loaction as the FPS counter. I have moved the fps counter to the bottom right of the screen.

Thanks SEE, these steps got FRAPS working again in-game for me.

I noticed though that it resulted in 'Full-Screen' being switched to 'OFF' in the game's video menu, with a resolution of 1024x768 also being selected. Even though the game still actually ran in a full-screen mode at a higher than 1024x768 resolution.

If, however, I then selected 'Okay' to those video settings, I'd then have to restart the game to apply them. And if I did so, the game would restart in Windowed mode @1024x768.

That suggests to me, when one selects ChangeScreenRes=0 but doesn't re-apply it in-game, the game is actually being played in a 'Psuedo' full-screen mode, and FRAPS, being set to 'Monitor Aero desktop' can still track it as if it's the desktop itself. But that's all just guesswork on my part.

What I also found though, was that I could set the 'Full-Screen' mode to 'Psuedo' in-game, and your fix would still apply. However, upon exiting the game, the ChangeScreeRes setting in my config file had been changed to 'ChangeScreenRes=2'.

So, I'd actually recommend using 'ChangeScreenRes=2' (Psuedo Full Screen), as it allows you to change and apply other settings in the game's 'Video' settings menu if you want to, without the game then reverting to Windowed mode.

At last i got FRAPS working in latest patch using pseudo mode ty and also using the advice above

Glad it worked for you guys too, and thanks for your observations and tech advice LES, I will change my changescreenres flag to 2.

Fantastic work people!

Never not been able to record with Flaps before-as a last resort im downloading the latest Nv drivers cos none of the above works for me , seems the div team have returned to the pre release method of ignorance is bliss :rolleyes:

It killed Fraps for me too......was fine in the previous beta. Thanks SEE for the suggestions but I went through all your points (check) and it still does not work. It also had the effect of making me lose Vsync. Counter is present in menu/splash screens but disappears when flying.

Anyone know if the in game 'console' FPS counter still works? I think it was something like FPS_Start_SHOW or something, but you have to get it exactly right (case sensitive as I remember and I don't think my version is correct, even the order of words.).

EDIT: Ok figured out the console FPS counter. The command is fps START SHOW (case sensitive)

Better than nothing I suppose.

I have Fraps working in the last patch.
I E-mailed Fraps and this is what thy said.


Thanks for your inquiry. Fraps supports recording from the desktop when the 3D Aero desktop is used in Windows 7 or Vista. Please note that for Windows Vista the aero desktop environment is only available in the Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions.

The "Monitor Aero Desktop (DWM)" option will only appear under the General tab in Fraps if this desktop environment is being used. If you don't see this option then it sounds like your desktop theme has changed or the machine is not setup to use the Aero desktop environment.

In this case, I'd recommend that you download and run the Microsoft FixIt automated support tool for enabling Aero in Windows 7 and Vista. You can find out more information and download a copy of this program directly from Microsoft at the following link:

http://support.microsoft.com/gp/aero...ts_not_working

After enabling the Aero desktop please also be sure to restart Fraps afterwards to ensure that any changes are picked up. Hope this helps!

Regards,
Rod Maher

I download the MicrosoftFixit.aero.Run tool from http://support.microsoft.com/fixit/

and now can record in CLoD after I check the monitor aero checkbox in Fraps. It records from the desktop. But it sure hurts the game performance IMO.

With this patch you can not record with fraps unless you have the payed version I do but the monitor aero was not working in fraps until I ran this tool.

Hope this helps.

Tried everything above but it is broken here too, well done dev's one step forward two steps back.

I have the free version and it records with the latest official patch so check before paying for a Fraps full license.

The requirement to enable Aero and check the Monitor Aero box in Fraps had been identified earlier in the thread as was the problem that Fraps will only work in Pseudo with this latest patch.

What hasn't been established is if anyone is able to use Fraps in Full screen with the latest patch.

I had seen on a Fraps site that you had to have the Fraps full license in order to have the Monitor Aero box in Fraps.

I don't know why someone would say that.

After what you said thy were wrong. I have the full license so I did not know.

Just shows that some people will say anything right or wrong, thy don't really know.

Good to hear that you can.

OT, I also read on a web site that said you do not need to defrag a SSD because thy don't fragment.
I know better than that.LOL

After installing a SSD on my system I checked to see if it was fragmented and it was, pretty bad and ran faster after i did so.

Back OT. I'm still not able to use fraps in full screen only Pseudo.
So this is not a fix only a work around.

Nowt worked so ive gone back to the beta while I continue ma werk , If its broke-dont fix it and it will go away-lol:rolleyes:

Fraps version 3.1.2 is working without problems and tricks.

Thanks to German community member Axel12 for this hint!

Many thanks MiGCap and to Axel12 , just DL'd Fraps Ver 3.1.2 and working here in full screen without problems or need to monitor Aero checkbox enabled.

Works for me also.:grin:
I'm a pack rat when it comes to saving things before I up date software like fraps.
That is what I use my External HDD-Seagate USB2.00 500 GB for Back up.

Just so happened I had this version backed-up.:)

When using fraps in full screen the FPS seam to be better.

Thanks for the HU!
