Shadowplay workin for anyone?

Since the last Nvidia driver update some days back I keep seeing a red dash across the status indicator, unenabling me to record anything. I tried re installing the damn thing and change save location but nothing helps. I got enough room so that can't be it.
Anyone else experiencing this?

 

No one uses Nvidia's shadowplay I take then?

 

never used it but just looked in nvidia experience that i thought id deleted and shadow play is ticked ready for use.
where do you see the red dash as i have no idea where status indicator is.

 

You're right. It doesn't work now.

Here is the ShadowPlay symbol when playing:




Here is the ShadowPlay symbol when I hit Alt-F9 (record):




Here is what I get when I hit Alt-F10 (Shadow record):




But it doesn't store any data anywhere. I think they broke it again.

 

I was using it two days ago and it worked fine. Try reinstalling it.

 

Tried that, didn't work. I'm just gonna wait for the next update hoping it will be fixed.

 

Worked for me last night (desktop though).

 

Don't you have an SLI setup (no Optimus)?

 

Nope. Just a single GPU. It worked today, too. I am running the 340.52 WHQL driver.

Not sure what the deal is. Sorry I can't be of more help.

 

Try installing an older Nvidia-driver and/or reinstall the newest?

 

Holy #### it's working! I disabled a windows host processor that had something to do with shadowplay on start up in startup manager and now it works like a charm!

 

Can you explain what you did exactly? I'm having the same issue.

 

Just use MSI afterburner. It is better than shadowplay. Just be sure to enable the NVENC plugin.

 

In task manager try to find a process called "windows host processor" and see if it has shadowplay description in it. Then disable or delete it. Unfortunately I deleted it so I can't give the full file name. But I am not sure you could find it with normal windows task manager, as I am using task manager from Advanced System Care, which is a modified version of it.

Where to download it? I already have MSI afterburner but no option to capture clips or see fps. I can only overclock and see my temps and usages.

 

Just download the latest version then go to settings>video capture>under capture hot key use F8>under video format click the little box to the far right with three dots in it and select "external plugin: NVIDIA NVENC H.264

Done in games hit F8 to start and end recordings.

 

But I am using the latest version, 3.01, and there is no video capture setting tab! I only have general, monitoring, profiles and user interface.

 

Did you install the rivatuner statistics server that comes with it. Be sure to install that and you will have those special tabs

 

Ah I see, will do that.

 

MSI Afterburner won't record previous video though, only when you start to record. That's what I like most about ShadowPlay. Great to use for some stupid, awesome, or ridiculous gameplay or to catch a cheater too. Capture the last 1-2 minutes works great with ShadowPlay.

 

It does. MSI Afterburner has a DVR functionality called prerecord which functions identically to ShadowPlay's shadow mode as an always-on rolling buffer. It's even better because you can prerecord directly to RAM instead of having to manually set up a RAM disk and moving the shadow buffer onto it as you would for ShadowPlay.

 

Melikey! I am starting to think the GeForce experience is just a waste of space...? Should I get rid of it. MSI afterburner and NV inspector seem to do everything!

 

Yes it is bloated, limited in functionality, and just generally a waste of space. The only reason to have GeForce Experience installed is if you want to stream games from your desktop/laptop to play on a Shield or Shield tablet. Everything else GFE can do, something else does just as well or better. For recording, MSI Afterburner is the way to go. For recording and Twitch streaming, OBS.

Even game streaming has an arguably better alternative in Steam In-Home Streaming if you don't own a Shield, as H.264 encode on the server PC supports the entire gamut of modern hardware (Quick Sync/NVENC/VCE), while H.264 decode on the client machine can be done fairly easily on any relatively recent CPU or GPU, so even low-powered and ultraportable devices can play games well through In-Home Streaming, as long as they're on an OS that supports Steam (currently Windows, OS X, Linux, and SteamOS). With ultra low-powered mobile SoC's having had hardware H.264 decode functionality for years and Valve's own declaration of "support for more [operating] systems coming soon," we could even be seeing In-Home Streaming coming to Android and iOS devices such as the Shield and iPad in the near future. Super-duper exciting, indeed. :thumbsup:

And as far as automatic driver updates and game optimization is concerned? GFE is easily fooled since it doesn't take overclocking and SLI into consideration. And I'll just end by saying that, as members of the elite PC gaming master race, we have the sacred right and privilege, denied to console peasants, to configure and tweak our games ourselves instead of having some software automatically do it for us.

 

I've noticed with game optimization of GFE, I get less pikes in fps and keeps a more constant line in fps due to its sync.
