So, I'm sure people are at least reasonably aware of the general issue the game has with DirectX overlays(Steam, Dxtory, FRAPS, etc, etc), and how on many occasions, it can lead to a crash.

 

I'm curious if anyone has a work around, specifically for a recording environment, as I'd like to record GTA/LCPDFR/ELS combo, but at current moment am not able to as a result from DirectX conflict.

 

Any thoughts?

You can disable the Steam overlay, if you are using steam that is.

I am aware that I can disable the overlays, and have.

 

However, my goal is be able to record the game. Basically I'm asking if there is a known way to keep the overlays up without the game crashing.

What's your computer specs? That might help.

My recording software (Action!) doesn't like IV if install ENB.

It's possible to get around this by recording either an active desktop region (the software will record an an area you define) or the entire desktop. You might have to run the game in windowed mode for this to work though.

 

Action! doesn't crash when I record the entire desktop because it's not hooking into DirectX.

Thanks for the idea, I forgot about that workaround. Really appreciate the help :)
