I do, I actually use a mid-range laptop and it holds up pretty well. Is it lagging just since you started screen recording, or does it always do that? I'm sure it will all come out fine in the wash, nothing has to be perfect
Only when I'm recording. It's a brand new save, so the only thing I can think of is that its the recording. But oh well, I'm sure it'll be fineI do, I actually use a mid-range laptop and it holds up pretty well. Is it lagging just since you started screen recording, or does it always do that?

What're you using to record? And also, what's your RAM?
The odd stutter is normal for most people, but laggy gameplay on a computer that should run the game fine is not. Maybe your graphics card driver needs to be reinstalled, if using recording software then it could too heavy for computer, you could have other programs open that shouldn't, or maybe your computer is really dusty slowing down the processor due to thermal throttling.
For recording software with little performance impact, I recommend using nvidia's shadowplay from the geforce experience app if you are using an nvidia graphics card. That's what I use and doesn't affect performance at all.
You could experiment with a couple of different screen recorders? Maybe do a test run so that when you're building yoi feel fully comfortable. I use OBS Studio, should have recommended that one above, sorry! I was away from my computer and couldn't remember which one I used but I found it worked well. I think the gameplay/footage came out just the tiniest bit laggy but not enough to bother me.
Speaking of, when's episode 2 of your series?
The Xbox Game bar recorder that comes with the computer, no clue what my RAM is lol
I would describe it more as a stutter. I can build perfectly fine with it and there are no real spikes, it just lags a little. I have a Radeon card also.
The Xbox game bar is known for it's performance issues, it could do for now but if you intend to make many videos for YouTube I would look into a proper recording software. The normal lag spike could be made worse using that recorder but speeding up gameplay basically removes all lag anyway. I do like 8x speed so laggy performance at any stage is impossible to see.
This all sounds like something I could be interested in, but that would depend on my availability.
Odd. I use the Game Bar and it runs fine, but maybe because I also enhance it with Wondershare video editing (I can boost the FPS up to 60, I think. It may not be the best, but it's good for me
)I honestly think that part of it could be, like Cap said, the graphics driver but also the RAM. I have 16 GB RAM, might upgrade to 32. If you have 8, for example, it will likely struggle
@Orkan , are you on laptop or desktop? Because if it's a laptop, it's much more difficult to upgrade it. It's possible, but you're more likely to mess something up (I'm not saying YOU will, I mean in general the hardware is kinda fused together)
Desktops are much more versatile, which is why I upgraded to one (but I'm cheap, so I didn't buy a new one, I got it in an auction from the medical/school district)

Desktop. I'll see if I can fix it with the graphics card settings later today. But if not its still completely playable so yeah.
Give OBS Studio a try, I asked some content creators what they use and they all recommended this one. It's free. Here ya go - https://obsproject.com/
Great! We'll do this one first and then see if you'd like to join in next time
we can be flexible on when we do itHaha, good question! And thanks for asking
I'll make this one with Orkan and then finally get on with that folly and swan pond I have been thinking about
Yes.
I'm not the best builder but I could join on especially Wednesday.
Yay cool! Would you like to join the Rainforest House build? Rules are:Yes.
I'm not the best builder but I could join on especially Wednesday.
- 2 hour time limit
- no blueprints
- paper planning is okay
Record your build if you can and send me the video file and I'll stitch together a youtube vid we can all have and share
Deadline is loose but roughly 1 week from today? Let us know if you need a bit longer. @FlameWizard492 feel free to join if this suits you too
Is It Fine If I Join In?
Oh and do a little cinematic of your build at the end if you want to send any audio explaining your build and choices I can add those in too
