Screen Recorder?

Hapydude101 · Feb 16, 2015

A simple question, Will C:S come with a built in screen recorder? I remember reading something about screen capture in a past thread but I can't find it again.

I'd really like the game to include this because I have yet to find a decent free screen recorder and I'd love to make a youtube series on the game.

I'm 99% sure no. You just need to use OBS https://obsproject.com/

This is what I do to do all my videos located here:

I watched the recent livestreams and can see what looks like a camera option down the bottom right corner of the HUD? Does anyone have some info what this is? I have a feeling it's what I read about.

I assume camera options

Not recording.

If you have a Nvidia card there's an Nvidia program to record with pretty much no performance loss. Shadow something it's called, I believe

The camera on the screen disables the UI:

See the camera icon in the lower right corner of screenshots that show the UI? That lets you turn the UI off, even in map mode

This thread is from February 2015 a month before the game was released!

I just use the built-in one from from Windows 10. Game Bar. It works decent and it comes with Windows. Just press the [win]+G keys and it'll pop up for you.

Only works in games though. If you tab out of the game, the video ends instantly.

There's another one built-in for recording the desktop, I can't recall as I haven't used it in a long time. iirc, it had a time limit. Like an hour or so.

It was probably scrapped and merged with the Game Bar.
