Errors, Bugs and Glitches

Ooohh boy, this just keeps getting better and better...

Well... if ya haven't figured it out yet, the damn Armored Warfare recorded footage bunch ran into some problems. Was working fine previously, but decided to show its problems again like last time. 

I'd never asked for this... I'm still unsure if it's the problem stems from the game, the computer or both. But now I'm starting to think it's a little of both.

Reason? Well, another game that I decided to record worked fine (most of the time): Killing Floor 2. The game also ran into some recording issues before, but fixed when I decided to transfer the game to a portable SSD.

Supposedly, Killing Floor 2 would function better if it's placed in a Solid State Drive... and for the most part, there were improvements. One of the most notable improvements was that the game loading times got drastically better/faster.

A portable HDD was used to store recorded footage, as it takes the load off the CPU to do two things at once on the same Hard Disk Drive [running the game while recording footage... on the same drive]. At least now the CPU workload is split at least by half.

So... this is the only game to run into massive problems. Either a recent update in both the recording software and game changed things, or I might need to optimize my laptop better...

I did not go empty handed, however. Decided to make the best with what I've got... but I decided to upload one gameplay footage instead of 4, as the other two were unbearable to watch.

The first one had TONNES of stoppages, hiccups and lags... even though it didn't lag the slightest when I was playing the game. The second was just a black screen but with gameplay audio intact. Now who the hell would wanna watch that?!

The third one was the most "stable" one; little to no lags/hiccups, but the recording software decided to stop recording by itself halfway through a match...

I think that ATGM shot from that enemy AFV did something... must've been one of those high-tech "hacking missiles"...

Again, I wasn't experiencing any in-game lags, stutters or any of that... I just noticed that the recording was saved while I was playing.

The fourth one was probably the worst... the video was corrupted, but the game had an... interesting bug.

One hell of a mirage...

I think the ground is turning into glass from the heat...

Hell, this happened while I was in the garage as well...

Radioactive sands...

...as far as the eye can see!

Yeah, I pretty much gave up after I saw these...

I guess it's back to World of Tanks, huh? Well, at least that one doesn't give me tons of trouble... and I also have some Killing Floor 2 footage that worked out well, so there's something.

Anyway... didn't mean to rant there a bit at the start, but this can get pretty frustrating when it happens occasionally. Maybe I'll try some more Armored Warfare recordings down the line, but for now...

...it's best to just move on to greener pastures. Well, at least one that doesn't look like the pictures above, that is.
