Recently bought a new video card and was loving that I could record mech warrior matches with it using the shadowplay feature. Just last night I posted a video of my Jager DD build on youtube (Kick Ass Jager Build - MWO) Now however since UI 2.0 my shadow play doesnt work with mechwarrior. Very frustrated as this was a big reason for the purchase. MWO is my favorite game to play right now and I just got the hang of the shadowplay features.

Is anyone else experiencing the same problem ?

Has anyone figured out a solution to continue being able to record or stream using the Nividia Shadow Play feature ?

Will Mechwarrior look into this if there hasnt been any solution ?

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Thank You

What a badass build.

As for the Shadow Play, dunno man. I haven't used it yet.

I'd send in a ticket at support@mechwarrioronline.com

The new client defaults your video settings to full window - change it to fullscreen and it should fix your problem.

If anyone has the same issue

AH Thank you. I was really upset when I couldn't record with the new UI, but that fixes it.
Now if Nvida would fix the chop sounds that seem to have occurred with the latest shadow play update for me.

Glad you posted this, I was tearing my hair out trying to figure out why it would work on other games and not here!

Now I don't have to sacrifice FPS for video recording with Afterburner anymore!

Thanks Strapt!! Was running into the same issue and never noticed Full Window was set instead of Full Screen. Thanks again!

Thanks Strapt a lot! I was wondering why (again) I have problems with nVidia ShadowPlay in MWO. I know, its still beta, but it works nice at the beginning.

I was always playing in full screen, and I never thought that new UI changed the settings... its shame for me

Thanks a lot again, I was logging in to forum to just say you how much I appreciate your advice.

I lost a few very excellent records from game because of one stupid setting in video settings...

For the record, NVidia has said that Shadowplay is currently only fullscreen only.

I'm sure at some point that can/will change, but that isn't really an MWO issue than it is a Shadowplay issue.

We - at least I - know it, but there is no visible different between full window and fullscreen Thats the present problem

Yes, it is not MWO problem, but many people will don't know it, and will write here, instead of nVidia forums

Btw, I think that ShadowPlay will be ultimate tool while it will be going out of beta...

I hate it. If you want videos to show how you did on youtube, etc, then get BandiCam or something better than Shadow Play.

Riiiight, cause software MJPEG or whatever can compete with hardware accelerated H.264.

Apart from the Full Window issue as mentioned above, the other reason that UI2 appeared to "break" SP is that initially there was a bug with the MWO video settings. People with options set to "Low" were actually running in "High", and so your framerate would plummet.

I will admit I have seen issues with SP, but it is still pretty early beta. You may still be better off with FRAPS or Bandicam or whatever for now, but those days are coming to an end.

Hardware capture will take over. If it isn't ShadowPlay, it will be something like Intel QuickSync (Haswell CPUs or later I believe) in combination with software that supports it such as Mirillis Action.

Also, many "issues" I have seen with SP audio are nothing to do with SP, they are because SP captures in Variable Frame Rate (VFR).
Adobe Premiere does not play well with VFR.
Windows Media Player can not play with VFR. If you have a clip that appears to be going out of sync etc, try playing it in VLC.

Recording with Vsync on can help.

I was having trouble yesterday with ShadowPlay in MWO. The file that was saved from the "shadow" was corrupted for some reason, could not get it to play in WMP or VLC. Said it was an unsupported codec... I tried again recording manually, and it worked just fine. Has anyone else had a similar issue? Is this related to the Fullscreen vs Full Window issue? I'm not sure which mode I have, at work right now so I will check it when I get home.

[Sen]

Once I set it to full screen, I ceased to have any issues. I will ALSO say that, on occasion, my GPU sticks @ 3D clocks when the system is idling @ desktop and I have to manually remove/reinstall the driver or deal with an extra 100w being sucked up @ idle.

It could've been a fluke. If it comes back, try reinstalling.

My guess is, though, that it was just a random quirk and didn't close the file properly for playback. I've seen it on RARE occasions from time to time [though not from shadowplay]

[evilC]

Oh, I just remembered...

I *have* seen some corruption and stuff with SP - on my brother's old PC.
Here, we suspect the issue is the PSU being *only just* able to handle the power reqs.
If we put a more powerful, known good, GPU in then we get major screen corruption.

Seeing as the hardware H.264 encoder used by SP is a physical "chip" (or part of a chip that is usually inactive) then I could see power requirements being higher when using SP.
If you are seeing issues, it may well be to do with power. Try unplugging a DVD drive or anything else not needed and see if you still get the same issues.

Ok, so i have the 780ti and since UI2.0 i cannot optimise my MechWarrior settings from GF. Exp. tried the fix with full window etc. Did not work, my GF. Exp. seems to think that i can run this game in Ultra settings but until dx11 the game does not have ultra settings... I am at a loss...

[PunKBusta]

Come to think of it, this game is marketed as an Nvidia optimised, and I remember Nvidia to have all those cool features like TxAA or FxAA or Vsync... But MechWarrior no, we have PostAA, maybe these will be suported by dx11 patch... I mean that's why i paid for my GForce and a 120hz big @ss tv screen

[Lianesch ZA]

We are getting FXAA in the coming patch (18/3) and DirectX 9/11 optimizations.

I myself LOVE ShadowPlay. Had a AMD card and used MSI Afterburner before. SP is a big step up from that. A little unhappy with using full screen instead of full window since I'm a multitasker and don't like having to Tab-Out all the time but I suppose its a sacrifice I have to make...

[Drunkerd]

Sweet!! I was pulling my hair out as well trying to figure it out. Awesome, I can record Trial night Tuesday
