The aur package gpu-screen-recorder-git was renamed to gpu-screen-recorder. Install gpu-screen-recorder instead or you may experience issues.

Thanks! I'm on AMD btw (6800XT - 5600X).

I'm loving your software. The only down side I notice it's introducing a periodic FPS fluctuation in some games (like Uncharted), despite Freesync ON or OFF.

And I would like to suggest an option to mininize the app to system tray instead of task bar.

@flxrbr In the gui version it's the option that says "All monitors (for VRR, ...". Note that this option and screen-direct-force is only available on nvidia. On amd/intel I believe that VRR works if you just record a monitor/screen without having to do anything extra. But that is just my guess, I dont have a VRR monitor so I cant test it.

"If you are using a variable refresh rate monitor then choose to record "screen-direct-force". This will allow variable refresh rate to work when recording fullscreen applications. Note that some applications such as mpv will not work in fullscreen mode. A fix is being developed for this."

Which would be this "screen-direct-force" option on the GUI version?

@flxbr thanks, that wasn't an error before for some reason. I fixed it now

Can't build with Yay. I'm on Arch - KDE.

@andreymal the git website mentions where you can report bugs on the front page. You can report them to my email: dec05eba at protonmail dot com

Where is the right place for bug reports?

There are many small bugs (which I can report somewhere if you're interested), but the most annoying to me is that the record directory is reset to default ~/Videos after stopping recording, probably because main.cpp:787 ignores the previously selected directory.

@mfcmquintela those settings should now be saved. For save location, it saves the directory instead of the file path (when recording)

@DEC05EBA I would really appreciate it

@mfcmquintela no but i could add that
