Mkbul's Level Workshop: Construction Ascent
LOL. I hope you understood the above post is a joke.
Any capture software (fraps, vlc player, camtasia, hypercam etc.) is heavy on computer resources. It needs large amount of free disc space as well as a good CPU and high amounts of RAM. Having a strong GPU is also required. That is because these software capture data in raw image (think of taking a screenshot as bmp, and then imagine taking 64 screenshots for 1 second.. yeah, that's the kind of huge).
Because of this, no matter which software you'll use, you'll always have this lag.
A few methods to reduce lag:
- Set the software capture program to a lower captured FPS (e.g. instead of 60, do 30)
- Free up as much of the RAM as you can by closing other programs before using it
- Do not play MB with shadows on
- Play on lower resolution (so instead of 1280x720, you play on 800x600)
- Check which is superior: OpenGL or Direct3D (as one of the options will cause more lag than the other)
- Play on 16-bit instead of 32-bit
And that's about it afaik. If it still lags, then its your computer and you need a better one.
