Problems with recording Jurassic Park Operation Genesis
-
So the problem is that after I start recording gameplay, the hotkeys no longer function. I can't pause, stop, or anything. When I exit the game, FBX says it's still recording and to press the hotkey to stop. When I do this, the program doesn't respond and I have to restart my PC.
-
It could be because its a DirectX 8 game and FBX does not properly support games that use anything older than DirectX 9.
If you use the Send a Problem Report option on the Support tab to send us your log files, we'll take a look to check.

@FBX-Recorder Thank you! I've already sent the log files. Are there any recording programs that support DirectX 8 games?
-
For recorders that use a game capture mode, DirectX9 tends to be the cut-off because adding support for older versions can be a lot of work with lots of game-specific fixes required. But it's possible that some have done some of that work - not sure really.
We are very close to releasing a new fullscreen recording mode that will simply recorder whatever is on your screen regardless of whether its a game or something else. For brand new games, it won't performance quite as well as the existing game capture mode but for older games like this, it should be just as good.
We plan to send a beta version with the fullscreen mode enabled to a few users in the next week or so to try out, so if you would like to be part of that, let us know.
-
@FBX-Recorder Wait. So are you going to remove the existing game capture mode? Will this fullscreen mode replace everything?
-
No, it will be an alternative mode to allow you to record things that game capture mode doesn't support.
Game capture mode will always be FBX's primary way of recording.
-
@FBX-Recorder Hmm. Sounds amazing! I think I would be interested in the Beta version. I imagine that new mode will also include audio, both from the game or program and the microphone?
-
You will have the choice to record PC audio and/or microphone audio as usual.

@FBX-Recorder Thanks for all your valuable help! And yes, if it's possible I would love to try out this new beta feature.
