Recording Love2D with NVIDIA GeForce Experience

Post by darkfrei »

I’m encountering an issue when trying to record Love2D (versions 11.3, 11.4, and 11.5) using NVIDIA GeForce Experience.

I attempted to start recording with Alt+F9. However, this captures only the full screen and not the specific Love2D window.

The recording menu doesn’t recognize the Love2D window, and as a result, I cannot start recording only the Love2D application window.


I added the Love2D executable to the game list and rescanned for supported applications. However, GeForce still doesn’t detect it as a game.

I updated to the latest drivers to ensure compatibility, but the issue persists.

NVIDIA-App
Version 11.0.1.189

GTX980

I believe I encountererd some issues recording even with OBS, when using anything but fullscreen recording. Recording at fullscreen is preferable for things like trailers, but for short or quick clips I wound up using ShareX.

Earlier I've made a lot of video captured in window. Than after the update from 11.4 to 11.5 it was not possible anymore. Now I'm trying with 11.4 but it doesn't works.

I usually just fix the delta time and capture the frames with love.graphics.captureScreenshot and save each frame, then compose them with gimp into a gif; if I wanted any other kind of video I know I can use ffmpeg.

Fixing the delta time is as simple as:

Code: Select all

function love.update()
  local dt = 1/60  -- for a 60 Hz video
