So i gave Action 1.19.0 yesterday a try and test recorded GTA 3 and Vice City (so far). Recording didn't work until i switched from Screen mode to Games/Apps mode. Recording worked normally until i paused Vice City. Once i paused, recording stopped automatically, i didn't press F10 which i binded recording to. I pressed it in the menu and recording started normally again. But once i returned to in-game from the menu WHILE recording, it stopped again. I had to re-press F10 while playing to start recording again.
When i looked at the recorded clips, everything ran normally until they got to the part where i paused the game. After it passes that, it "freezes" at the last in-game frame. It continues the sounds like it sould but keeps showing the last gameplay frame instead of showing the menu.
Again, this only happens in Vice City so far. It doesn't do that in GTA 3 if i remember correctly. I've yet to try it with other games. I'll give Max Payne 2 and maybe Max Payne 1 a shot later. I'll update this post once i get results.
UPDATE: Test recorded Max Payne 2 and it recorded everything normally. Visiting menus didn't cause recording to stop. However, a non-related issue occured during this recording. While i was running, a lagspike took place just as i let go of my forward key and glitched my character to continue running non-stop. This also disabled other controls, i couldn't jump, strafe or stop running. Even visiting the menu didn't help.
