Question Capture Card has stopped working on some games ?

Hi everyone,

I have recently purchased the Avermedia 2 Plus Capture Card and all has been going well, it has captured PC and Xbox footage no problem - but as of today it has stopped working on some games but continues to work fine on others?

I mainly play sim racing/driving games (Project Cars 2, AMS2, Assetto Corsa, Euro Truck Sim) but with PC2 as soon as the game loads I get the constant red light.. I was able to record game footage perfectly fine yesterday so it has worked on the game previously...

I have shut down the PC multiple times, taken out the cables and tried different ports, what I haven't done is delete the drivers for the capture card - I had a look in device manager but couldn't see anything Avermedia related....

Any ideas on a fix - as it's a bit strange to work on some games and not others?

***UPDATE***

I deleted then reinstalled the game to a different drive to see if that would fix the issue but it didn't - but while I was in-game I dialed down some settings and restarted the game and the blue light came back on to signal it's good to record.

So that has fixed it - I have no idea why but there you go.

It could be that particular capture device monitors performance in the background and waits until you have optimal settings for it to capture with acceptable frame rate. That is good practice however on the user end, regardless of capture device used. Also, make sure you keep it's driver updated.
