Shadowplay compatibility

Just as a warning, I have experienced a debilitating game experience while recording using Nvidia’s Shadowplay. I’ve come across a crash that support has been unable to identify themselves, but I have concluded that shadowplay has caused my game to crash 5-10 minutes into each game I play. When I am not using shadowplay to record I can play perfectly fine, but as soon as I start recording it starts freezing on a black screen with no error message.

Just wanted to let everyone know who is using this service, and if they have a fix please let me know, much appreciated.

Are you saving the recording to an external drive?

Negative, its saving to my video folder.

That may be putting stress on your system. I don’t know what your setup is like, but writing to the same drive that you’re running your game off of could create issues. When I record with my Elgato I run the capture software from another computer, and record to a large, mostly empty, external drive.

Ok, i’ll go ahead and give an external drive a try.
