FRAPS not capturing Neverwinter.

I am pretty sure I tinkered with FRAPS (www.fraps.com) and NEVERWINTER when Neverwinter was in BETA and it recorded. I tried again last night - and when I tried, FRAPS did not record anything. Was curious if anyone here uses FRAPS and has it working with Neverwinter? (It records other games and such flawlessly; like Knights of the Old Republic, even DVDs if I play them in Media Player, etc).

    Works for me but I've not updated fraps for a while. I have version 3.2.5 build 12131.

    Doesn't work for me either, version 3.4.7 build 13808. Also works on anything else.

    There's an in-game recording tool, post somewhere in the forums about it. But it sounded like such a hassle compared to using fraps that I personally won't bother with it.

    As far as I know, Demorecord was what is usually used to make videos with Cryptic games.

    Works fine for me. Version 3.5.99

    Did you try setting different Fraps hotkeys than the default ones? I find sometimes I have to switch keys around for some games, if the game is using up what I want to use for something else. Like, I often use the Numpad keys for fraps vs. the F keys. Depends. (edit) I do use F keys in NWO tho.

    I think YOU may be onto something right there... I just realized, I DID change the default - I had set it to PRINTSCREEN (because it was easy to remember that it was going to capture, since I hardly ever do actual print screens) - and PrintScreen was a key that no other thing really used, except Windows.

    So I wonder if the function of PrintScreen, which Neverwinter may perhaps use (??) is over writing what FRAPS uses. I will need to test this when I get home.

    Strangely though, I don't even see the benchmark #'s (the FPS that Fraps can show), even when I select it to Unhide (and pick top right or whatever). Regardless, will try another hot key for FRAPS and see if that does it.

    Sure enough, having it mapped to PrintScreen was the issue.
