Hi all. I'm actually going to split this up into two questions if you don't mind
.Firstly the reason why I updated my Intel HD 4000 graphics driver in the first place. I do video game recording and sometimes I notice that the recording will have moments of split second stutter/pauses. This will go on for several seconds then play smoothly again. I've noticed this in recordings of Alan Wake and Tomb Raider so far. These moments might be during parts of the gameplay that are more graphics intense, I'm not too sure. I should note though that it is only the recordings that have these pauses, the game runs completely smooth when I'm playing it. Does anyone have an idea of why this would be happening? I record using the MP4 (Quick Sync Video) option.
This brings me to my subject question. I thought perhaps I should try updating my Intel HD 4000 graphics drivers and maybe that would fix it. Updating drivers to the latest (9.18.10.3165) went without problems. So I fire up Tomb Raider again and start recording through the section that I noticed the stuttering/pauses happening before. This time however when I hit the shortcut key to stop recording, my game locks up. I ctrl+alt+dlt to get to task manager and close the game. The video will not have a finished thumbnail on it and it says "Failed to open Input File" when opening from Action. Going to the destination folder shows it as being 0 bytes. I rolled back to my default driver and everything worked again. Just as a test I tried updating again but had the same results. Has anyone else had problems with this driver? Any help would be appreciated.
