Hello! 

 

These days I wanted to record some RA2 videos, but as u well know, Windows 8 doesnt really like RA2, so I faced the following problems.  At first I tryed to record by Bandicam 2. I tryed to record videos in DirectX/OpenGL mode, but failed, because evin if I launch RA2 and press hotkey, recording doesnt starts. Looks like Bandicam doesnt takes RA2 as DirectX/OpenGL application, in other words, the program doesnt know that RA2 is a game.  On the next step I tryed to record videos in "Desctop mode". Found out that this mode record's my desctop, but freezes when I launch RA2. It record's the sound of the game, but still has a frozen view of my desctop (: .   I've downloaded HyperCam, had the same problems. The program records my actions on the Desctop, but freezes when I launch RA2.  

 

So, is there any way to record RA2 video replays on Windows 8?

 

P.S.  Bandicam in "DirectX/OpenGL" mode works fine when recording other games.

So, I've installed Windows 7, But now Bandicam record's my movements in menu, but doesnt record gameplay. It record's the sound of gameplay, but shows black screen, no videos (:
