FRAPS causes Darwinia crash

Postby WarFreak131 » Mon Jan 23, 2006 3:41 am

Hi there, I found out which program can cause Darwinia crash. The screen recording program FRAPS (www.fraps.com) will cause Darwinia to crash when it starts up. Also, it will cause Darwinia to crash if you start it up mid-game. I've tested it a few times, so I know that it's not just coincidence that it crashes.

A lot of people were using fraps to record videos back in the betas.

I contacted FRAPS support and the guy said that this is a common issue with Darwinia and FRAPS. They say that the problem will be resolved in the next version of FRAPS.

Intresting, and good to know. What version of FRAPS is it that doesn't like Darwinia?

The latest version is 2.7.2. So I assume 2.7.3 will have this problem fixed.
