Recording C2 games

Every time I try to record my game the FPS drops to 30. I can record other things with no performance issues, but C2 games have the speed halved.

Tested with Fraps, Camtasia and LiceCap(captures gifs)

It's too specific to be just a coincidence... any information on this?

Have you tried Bandicam. I used bandicam for my only 1 recoding and no problem.

Being a Fraps user myself, I am aware that Fraps alters the framerate of the game to the framerate you specify. Try changing the FPS in Fraps to 60fps, though if you have a weak computer it may still drop below 60fps.

Protip: If you're planning to upload this only to Youtube, Youtube makes all videos 30fps anyway, and as Construct 2 uses TimeDelta, you may as well ignore the fps change and record away at 30fps.

What is your FPS during game play, without recording?

I've had good experience with Fraps and Node-webkit export. Make sure you set Fraps to record at 60fps.

The game runs at 60fps normally

Made new tests, setting all the programs to record at 60fps

Fraps: records fine (on the previous test it was set to 30fps)

Bandicam: pretty good, 57~60 fps

Camtasia: Full screen: 55~60 fps, fps drops to 40 when recording region

LiceCap: still drops to 30 fps

So... might just be faulty software. They have much better performance when recording a bigger area, instead of just my 320x288 game
