Anybody using (old) Shadowplay to capture Odyssey footage?

Hi,
I've not done any video capturing for a while but I always use an old version of Shadowplay (2.11.4.0) as nothing after that would work for me - even after replacing my graphics card. (Nvidia 1060 6GB)


Well, I updated my driver (because, hey, Odyssey!) reinstalled my archived Shadow play and....... I can't get it to work anymore. :-(

When the green indicator appears it has the red diagonal line through it.

A kind individual on this forum told me some years ago about using the old version and to add the parameter "-shadowplay" which I've done, but no joy. So I'm wondering if Nvidia have changed some stuff in the driver, or probably more likely, I'm doing something daft.

Any help/advise muchly appreciated. :)
 
@Angus That was probably me.
Unfortuantly the old excellent Shadowplay v2.11.4.0 doesn't work with newer Nvidia drivers.
The drivers that I use that work for me on Windows 7 and my GTX1070 are 388.71.
Odyssey works and looks good with those as far as I can tell.
For some reason if I install newer drivers I get strange crashes/freezes so I'm back to 388.71.
But when I did use 430.64 and 442.59 I installed OBS for video recording.
It's free and open source. There is a bit of a learning curve but it does work well and hooks into the Nvidia drivers/hardware to record in the same way Shadowplay does.

Many thanks, Nick. I'd have said that sooner but I asked for e-mail notifications with this thread and I was linked to an old email account, as a result I completely de-privileged myself from the forum.

Thanks to the Frontier Community team for sorting that out for me. :)

At your recomendation, Nick, I'm now using OBS and it is working really well for me:

Even if my fps skills are as inept as ever. :)
