    So I decided I would start recording a few games and then to my surprise found out that PA now crashes as soon as I open my recording program. If my recorder is ready to go before the game is started, the game crashes immediately. I used to record every now and then while in beta and I want to know why I can no longer use the same program....

    I don't get crashes but dxtory can't even record PA now. It's also historically always had a lot of problems recording properly with other programs as well.

    I've never had any problems using OBS to record PA.

    That's really not good enough, you don't have contol over splitting audio streams, codecs and quality.

    @wpmarshall told me he knew which patch it broke for him so perhaps we can pinpoint a particular change that screwed things up?

    I've never really needed any more features than those that OBS provides, personally. Maybe that'll change when I get my internet back and my new shiny PC :p

    Plan. Paging @wpmarshall

    Action has not worked for me since the release update. Came back from PAX and it didn't work for me.

    Perhaps @sorian might have an idea as to the change.

    I use OBS myself, so no idea what the problem may be. Maybe @jorgenpt would have a better idea.
