xX_Renegade_Xx Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 This was called ShadowPlay and I updated today, honestly, don't bother, the UI is horrendous, complaints are already starting to come in. https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/963386/geforce-experience/what-is-this-garbage-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Slayer- Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Too late I did mine earlier and it's a pain in the arse now, you need to click through what seems a million menu windows to get where you want instead of how you did it in the the old shadowplay with just a couple of clicks, that was also compact and well just better and more user friendly. I see it offers screen shots now but you cannot save them to your computer you must upload them to google pics or imgur. while in the settings it puts an overlay full screen so you can't click anything else (unless you close it) if you did need to check something, I had a second task bar so it didn't stop me.

xX_Renegade_Xx Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 I've just uninstalled it, I refuse to use that piece of garbage. Why they would take a perfectly useable and friendly UI and turn it into that is beyond me, if I wanted something that resembles a mobile phone app I'd buy one! It's a shame really as ShadowPlay was a fantastic program to use, I'll either wait until until they fix that UI or go back to Fraps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xX_Renegade_Xx Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 @ Sammad143 You star! That works a dream with Insurgency, record quality is great, ready for YT and best of all, no lag when recording, it works exactly like ShadowPlay without the terrible UI.

-Slayer- Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I've got to admit after messing with ShadowPlay for awhile I'm starting to get use to it, (damn I hate major UI update changes) I can see why they did ShadowPlay like they have now, I like the overlay you can bring up while in game to switch between ShadowPlay settings on the fly which I think is awesome I can now switch between recording to my computer or switch it to my twitch stream.. The only thing I've found so far is they need to give the option to save screenshots to the PC. They need to give us back the time you can set for it to buffer it's 5 minutes by default. Still debugging ShadowPlay and my brain with this major interface update. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Slayer- Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 this is gforce experience? Yes it had a major UI upgrade I can see the end results they were going for but compared to how it was it's like they threw all the bits at the screen and where they landed they stuck, so still working out where to find things, I think I've pretty much worked it out but damn first look into the menus and where they renamed and moved stuff around was a nightmare compared to the old ShadowPlay interface. Still haven't been able to get twitch to fire up it starts then throws the message it's stopping again, I'm hoping the reboot after updating will fix it just got to get the time to do some more testing.

xX_Renegade_Xx Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 this is gforce experience? Yes, as Slayer has posted above, the UI has a had a major overhaul and personally I think it sucks. The last one they were using was so user friendly, everything you needed was so easy to find, now they've put everything into menus or moved it around so you're playing hide and seek with your options, totally unnecessary and it looks terrible, like a mobile phone app :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a picture after I ran it on my second computer. Still using the latest update on the game computer and quite liking it now after a reboot and worked out all the menu's. All they need to do is add the option to save screen shots to your PC and it'll be the ducks nuts. So in this thread I've gone from what the hell are they thinking, to hmm I really like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xX_Renegade_Xx Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 Thanks Slayer but I've uninstalled the whole program now, after getting the link from Sammad143 above I'm now using PlaysTV and it works great. Forgot to upvote his post as well, which has now been done. I might check it out again once I buy a new graphics card, assuming it's an NVidia ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMagnet Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 i cancelled upgrade and uninstalled it. the 2.xxx version was bad enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Slayer- Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I'm loving it now I've gotten use to it's settings and menu's, twitch is streaming on the fly now no need to get out of game anymore with the steam style overlay menu to click which option you want. Also just went into where the video's sit and I see my screen shots from tonight, (was wondering if it worked) so unless you choose to upload your pictures to 'google pics' or 'imgur' it saves them by default into the same video folder for the game you're playing. So I'm quite happy with my GeForce Experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
