Jamal Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 So my shadowplay was working previously. Then I did the Alt + Z , and went to hit save the last xx minutes, and I accidently hit turn off. Now I can't turn it back on. Any idea on how to fix it? Please and thank you kindly <3 Link to comment

bamf Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 You should use OBS instead. Shadow play is a disk space hog, and only saves what 20 minutes? Crossfade likes this Link to comment
Twinkie Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 Ive had the same problem too. What I've done is go into the launcher, go into your settings, and turn it on and off. That should hopefully fix it. Then turn it back on agian. It should work, it has for me. You also dont need to do it through Alt+Z. Just make a new hot key like Alt+[ or something. You can also go through the launcher Link to comment

But doesn't lag you to shit the whole time, instead it only lags for a few seconds as you save the video Link to comment

I used obs for ages and was great but now it records a black screen, I've updated drivers plus obs, reinstalled, changed settings just won't fix it Link to comment

Legit Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 1 hour ago, bamf said: You should use OBS instead. Shadow play is a disk space hog, and only saves what 20 minutes? Most people to achieve better performance use "quicksync"; which is designed to record at lower bitrates. The reason Nvidia only offers shadowplay to people with Nvidia drivers is because of NVenc the on board hardware encoder. By default Shadowplay is set at a bitrate of 30Mbps whereas quicksink is sub 10. You can set Shadowplay to a minimum of 10 Mbps which is ~750MB/10Minutes@1080p There is also the fact that OBS uses ram to store its 'shadowed' footage while Shadowplay uses temporary files. It really depends on your rig and what you are trying to do. Streaming/Youtube go with OBS for it's customizability, If you just need something to save clips for friends/reports use Shadowplay. @Grizz Sometimes shadowplay breaks between updates, if nobody's information here has solved your problem you can try to use the experimental version of Geforce. If all else fails re-install your video drivers or consider OBS. Download DDU and follow a guide to using it to remove all Nvidia software/drivers, then manually install the latest game ready driver and everything 'should' be working fine. Link to comment
Jamal Posted December 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 I ended up completely uninstalling geforce, downloading an earlier version of it, and letting it self update, and that actually helped. Thanks for all the input guys, appreciate it,. Link to comment
