When I enabled Action! for GTA 4, I go to the game but all of the sudden, the game crashes I tried again, every way I can... no success. I am recording off from a folder from my desktop. Without Action!, it's running fine but I don't want to use the trial bandicam anymore!! I still have 500+ more GB to go so I don't know what the issue is... Help!

I would guess at saying your pc can't handle running both GTA IV and the recording software.

Action! is a high performance piece of software, which means it will be eating up your pc's resources (system memory most likely).

 

I would recommend using another game recorder and see if that helps as you clearly can't run Action! and GTA IV :)

 

Here are a few I know of.

 

Fraps

HyperCam

CamStudio

Razer Screencast (part of their game boost program)

XFire has built in recorder

Steam I think can. (Not sure though)

 

Hope this helps :)

I use Action! for IV. IV itself shouldn't be the problem, ENB's are the problem. I did manage to fix it though.

 

 

I can't record using "game mode" so I use full desktop recording or active desktop region.

 

I'm not sure that'll fix the problem, you try and run IV in windowed mode if it still crashes. You can do it by adding -windowed to your commandline.txt or setting it as a launch option on the shortcut in Steam or on a LaunchIV.exe shortcut on your desktop.

You also need to use the stable (1.16.0.3) build, the beta (1.17.0.x) build didn't work for IV at all when I tested it.

 

 

Action! is, in my option, the best recording software, it's superior to FRAPS. Action! eats less performance, the recorded videos are smaller than FRAPS. Action! excels with its audio recording, recording my voice to a separate audio track means that I don't have to worry about setting my game audio too high when I record.

You have helped me! That's what I did! You are my favorite sub... +1 for your good help there. I will delete the version of FREE Bandicam...
