Fraps doesn't record ESO anymore (after update 5)

Moonshadow66

I tried to record some game videos today, but for some reason, Fraps doesn't record anything anymore. I never had this problem before update 5.

The game is in fullscreen, but I tried also fullscreen/windowed, both don't work. I still can record videos in other games, though, only in ESO it doesn't work anymore.

Has anyone an idea how to fix this? Or even having the same problem?

Run both in admin. Restart launcher in admin.

Not sure beyond that.

I always do, I never changed any settings after update 5... But thanks anyways

I've made a few recordings post-update 5. What are your video card specs and you processor/RAM specs? There's a possibility that the update may have some performance robbing that is making it difficult to record video. Also, are you having any difficulty with other games?

If I would post my video card specs here, everyone would laugh at me for the rest of my life
But I can assure you that the game runs even a lot better after the update, and I could record before but not after anymore.

And, I don't have problems recording other games, there it works just like it always did, without any issues.

The thing is that I can see fraps is running (the fps in yellow), but it doesn't turn red when I press the record button. I checked the controls in both settings (game and fraps), the button was not taken by the game or something (I'm using F9 to start recording, like before).

If you're not having trouble with other games, my first suspicion would be to think that you're having a ram shortage with this game. It might also be from using an older (or newer) version of fraps.
Try moving the button around.

I just tested it, works fine for me. Both as admin as explained above.

I found out what caused the problem: Skype running in the background. I don't know why this doesn't work anymore, but I'm glad I can record again^^
Thank you guys for trying to help :-)

Ah.. Skype used to do some crazy stuff with my windows functionality. That makes sense.
