Title: I need the most basic help with Fraps
Post by: Lucika on May 09, 2009, 12:19:53 pm: In other words: how can I actually start recording? If I press the designated hotkey, it probably starts recording but if I press it again or quit, the video file fails to show up.

Meh no supreme Frapser yet... :nod:

The latter doesn't work always.

During the recording the FPS counter switches the color from yellow to red ( if you enabled the option ).
Also make sure you checked the video box, not the screenshot one.

Video are saved ( usually ) in C:\FrapsVideos, not C:\Fraps.

Actual gameplay. And I didn't enable the FPS counter, should I?

Are your Function keys functioning?

They do. Now I'll try a function key what has no ingame function.

When the numbers are red, it records, when yellow it's not.

If you have a ****ty computer, it may take a few seconds, like 10-20 for the recording to start from the moment you pushed the button.

Post by: Aardwolf on May 10, 2009, 10:10:13 pm: Yeah, use the FPS counter.

Also, it should say somewhere in the config window where it's saving stuff
