I installed the creators update. I've found my GTA IV has been crashing as a result of Game DVR. Is there any other alternative screen recorder that is cheap or free, and that is good to record gameplay and gameplay audio with?

 

Thanks,

I use Open Broadcaster Software (Free), and love it.

You have to set it up.

So I record it and then it just shows black?

try using fraps(it is known to be used for game screen recording)

figured out how to get obs working, thanks anyway any problems I'll try that :-)

AMD has ReLive, and Nvidia has Shadowplay, not sure what GPU you have. 

I have Nvidia doesn't shadowplay lag horrendously though?

@qwertyK

Shadowplay imo is one of the best software if you just want to record without worrying about settings.

I have been using it since 2015 and never had an issue with it. Quality is great, no lag in the recording and no performance drop in games when recording.

 

Other software is out there that is better if you are a content creator but for a casual user it is great.

Will have ago! Is it launched from GeForce Experience?

Yes, you open GeForce Experience and in the top right click on the icon that looks like a triangle with small circles on each point. Then you can configure the heads up display and keybindings and settings. Once you do that you can record by using the keybinding you set.

So when ever I want to record I just launch my game and when I want to start I just press the keybinding which for me is alt+/ it will then record until the game is closed or until you stop it. 

You can set it so it acts as a recorder for you whole computer rather then just games by changing it to allow desktop capture. This means you can record just sitting at desktop and it will record everything on the screen. By default when you are in a game and you alt tab it "pauses" the recording and does not show what you are doing whilst alt tabbed. Desktop capture shows anything on screen whether that is a game or you browsing the web.
