View Full Version : Fraps 3.5.9 Issue - Recording stops on my turn?

So, I've been recording the game with Fraps since, say, the menu screen. I can understand it making a new video as it changes to the game screen where all the explosions rain down, due to resolution changes. However, whenever I'm recording, the moment it switches to my team's turn to attack, the recording stops. The Fraps counter goes yellow, and I have to restart the recording. It won't happen if it goes to another team's turn, but when it gets to my turn, it stops. Does anyone else have this issue, and is there a way to fix it?

Could it be that your Fraps recording hotkey is set to Scroll Lock?

That was exactly it. I noticed as I was recording that the button turned off, which also de-activated Fraps. I've changed the record key to Pause which, barring another Worms secret, should tide me over. I would've edited it earlier, but the topic was inaccessible at the time. Which brings me to a more intriguing query; why does the Scroll Lock button turn off whenever it gets to the player's turn?

Scroll Lock causes the camera to stay in one place, and not follow objects and events in the game. However, if the start of your turn catches you offguard, disabling Scroll Lock avoids any need to panic and hit Home / Scroll Lock or frantically search for your worm :)
By the way, Pause is also used by W:A. It saves a screenshot to User\Capture (as Print Screen doesn't work with paletted games). There's a list of keys here: http://worms2d.info/Controls

Ah. That isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Thankfully, I'm not gonna be mashing the Pause key bar some horrible FPS lag, so taking a picture every so often isn't going to be a major issue for me. Thanks for the info!
