Hi all,
Sorry if this is a stupid topic/question but I'm slightly baffled.
I decided that I need to start recording my game play as I'm sure a large number of you all do.
I already had OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) installed on my PC so I set it up for recording... or so I thought.
It does record, however, it only records a small fraction of the beginning and then stops, but doesn't say it's stopped. This can range from 10 minutes to 40 minutes, but it never just records everything. It just appears it's recording and then when I hit stop, and go to my video folder, it's only has a shortened movie to see.
I tested it last night and played for about 2 and half hours. It only saved the first 39 minutes of it.
It can't be because I don't have enough hard drive space on my computer as I have 5TB free space.
I also don't think it's the PC performance as my PC isn't a bad one.
PC specs are:
Graphics: GeForce GTX 760
Processor: Intel Core i5-4440 S1150 3.10GhZ 6MB.
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z87-D3HP S1150 Intel Z87 DDR3 ATX
RAM: Corsair 16gb (2 x 8GB) Vengeance Pro Red DDR3 1600 MHz CL9.
Hard drive: (set up as a raid5) 3 x Seagate 3TB Barracuda SATA 6GB/s 64MB 7200RPM 5.5* Hard Drive.
Has anyone got any ideas about what it could be? I like OBS, I've used it in the past for streaming, but I'm not really sure why it's not recording my full game play.
Really sorry if this is a dumb topic, just I sat for hours last night, completely baffled and starring at setting windows not really seeing anything that could lead me to think it was that.
I'm not particularly good when it comes to the hardware (or software as it appears!) of PCs. I just know how to play them! Ha!
Many thanks in advance.
