Before I go into detail I will say prior to my fresh install I was able to use ACTION for recording BF3 with very few if any issues. I decided to do the clean install prior to the release of BF4 just to make sure that all was well. Now I know about and have experienced many of the problems that have been occurring with BF4 so I am not here to point any fingers.

Here is what's happening - Sometimes I am able to hit the F9 key, usually as a new map begins and it will record, I have been setting the recording options to a lower standard, typically 780 or 420 running at either 30 or 50 FPS. I am also recording game sounds. Where my problem typically occurs is when I want to stop recording. The program might stop and go from red back to blue, or continue recording. In either case it will crash both the game and destroy the recorded material up to that point.

I typically have hit Ctl-alt-Del and shut down the process in Task Manager, in most cases I have to shut down BF4 first and then try and shut down Action. Sometimes Action will remain running in Task Manager, and I will restart the game and then try recording again, in most cases it will work, but when I go to stop recording at a certain point it repeats the freeze/crash issue.

There is a patch coming out for BF4 in the morning, at which time I will give everything a try to see what happens. One question I do have however is BF4 gives the option to run it in x64 or x86. I have not tried running it in x86 yet with Action. Since Action is also running in 32bit mode I was wondering if you would suggest I do so or is it recommended to do so by your staff?

Any suggestions you have in terms of making sure certain processes are not running or should be shut down because of possible conflicts, I would appreciate your outlining as much as possible in response to this thread. I will try and mess around with it in BF3 tomorrow, I just haven't played it since BF4 was released, but I will and try and use it as a benchmark against whether or not the problem is occurring across multiple games. My hunch is that most of the issues are occurring because of how unstable BF4 is at this point, but if anyone there has been working with both programs running together and has some suggestions to help make it more stable it would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for long rant but I really like this product, especially the quality I have seen it produce, and I have shared my opinion with others so they might give it a try. I really want to begin posting some in game footage, but not until I can get it to run stable.

Could you post a DxDiag report of your PC? BF4 was tested in beta phase. I don't know if our lab folks tested the released version. I'll ask.

I am attaching the DxDiag you requested
