This game does not allow recording.

  • Since the update I have been unable to record Sea of Thieves via Windows 10's DVR. I'm hoping that this is because of the update and not because of my PC. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

  • I'm getting the same issue: pressing Windows+G to open the Game Bar results in a box appearing stating "This game does not allow recording" - it certainly used to work.

    This game does not allow recording

  • This is happening to a lot of people. Not sure of any news on it, yet.

    It's a product of Nvidia, it basically allows you to start and stop your recording whenever, take screenshots, record last 10 minutes, sets the recording at 1080p, 2k, 4k depending on what you want. I use it for my PC gaming, you need Nvidia GeForce Experience to use it though but it's worth it. Just google Shadowplay nvidia and it should take you to their site.

  • Yep, same thing yesterday. Ot interested in nvidia experience as I wanna share stuff on my xbox feed.

  • Does Shadowplay not let you share on the Xbox feed then?

    you can go to xbox feed and record your feed with shadowplay but it doesn't share it, its a separate thing than like Xbox Recording

  • Did they intentionally remove the ability to record, or did they break it/fixing it?

  • Same here; DVR not working, using Shadowplay to record now.

  • Same here, as of 31-03-2018.
    Was using this before. I would like an update from a mod, since there are players that can record, but suddenly a lot of ppl that cant anymore. Should we open a Bug report?

    -Keep yer grog inside-

  • In another post im watching. someone said that they removed there game restarted the pc then re installed sot and now the game bar works. i shall try that later. hope this helps

  • @creativesamurai Well I do hope that helps :) So please tell us if that worked when you got the chance to test it, Maybe I'll test it in the meantime and let you all know as well.

    -Keep yer grog inside-

  • Yes, tried it! Reinstall fixed it for me :D

    -Keep yer grog inside-

  • @der-schaduw Worked for me also. but i did have trouble re-installing. had to reboot pc a few times. but YAY, its now working. Hope this help some people out :)

  • Meant to say that I'd opened a support ticket for it, and they've replied stating they are aware of the issue, and are working on a fix (thus it's apparently "resolved").

  • I am also having this problem. Anyone know of a fix other that completely re-downloading the game?

  • @nextonex in the time you're waiting for that answer you could have reinstalled XD

    Or I could have waited. The issue was fixed in today's patch. It's now working again!

  • @creativesamurai OBS and dump that windows10 c**p.

  • @pantang
    I've used those before (OBS and XSplit) but using mixer is really simple for when a friend just want's to watch me play. Also being able to record a clip when something cool or funny happens is nice.

  • @nextonex the screenshot feature is dire as well, got to bring up the menu then push a button? w*f man it can be over by then.

    I'm not saying it's great but it's very convenient. I'm not streaming for followers, I'm just streaming for friends and it makes it very easy.

  • I can confirm some definite bugs with Sea of Thieves and Nvidia ShadowPlay on PC. I use ShadowPlay to stream to Tiwtch.tv and it either makes the game unplayable, works for a few minutes or gives a 5000 stream error.

    Bug #1 - Sometimes When I hit the Hotkey to bring up the stream overlay for Shadowplay and then go back to the game my character is unable to move. I can mouse look with the mouse, but I get no response from the keyboard like it's not even plugged in. Even though mouse look works the mouse buttons do not respond just like the keyboard. The only way to get out of this is to press CTRL ALT DELETE to bring up the task manager menu to end the task on the game or in some cases that doesn't work and I have to restart. If you do not do this your character is frozen in the game, unable to move, and can only voice chat with your party.

    Bug# 2 - Shadowplay works for a minute or two and people can see my stream. Then it always says your stream has been disconnected and for me to check my bitrate setting. I currently have 150MB Download/150MB Upload through Frontier Fiber. So my internet connection is more than fast enough.

    Bug# 3 - Shadowplay appears to be working and I can see my video from my camera in the bottom right side of my screen like normal. However, When I get on my laptop and check my stream I get a 5000 error stating, "No content to be displayed on my Twitch Channel.

    Bug # 4 - Shadowplay appears to be working and I can see my video from my camera in the bottom right side of my screen like normal. However, When I go to my stream on my laptop I see a whole bunch of weird greenish distorted lines across my Twitch Channel. People are unable to see the stream, but they can hear me through my mic fine.

    These 4 issues only effect Sea of Thieves. All other games I have work great with Nvidia Shadowplay streaming and overlays.
