Geforce Experience 3 (shadowplay) help needed

Hello Commanders,

Does anyone have experience using the new Shadowplay (now called....sharing?) in the v.3 Nvidia GeForce Experience?

I've set my overlays up (the fps and recording icon) and set a drive to save to, but in game when I press alt-f9 or alt-f10 I don't see the fps come up or the recording icon and when I check for files after the game I have recordings of the launcher, not the game.

Can anyone help?

Make sure the game you are recording is full screen. Windowed or borderless does not work on SP. Some games do not work with SP even full screen, like Kerbal Space Program. There is a hack to get KSP working, but some games simply don't work. Elite does. I record from that all the time so if we are talking about Elite then make sure it is full screen.

A game that works with SP will have the framerate displayed along with the SP record icon (assuming you selected them to be shown, of course).

Edit: Also, make sure the SP switch is on in the GeForce Experience - Shadowplay control window. The button should have a green light illuminated when it is on. As shown here, lower window, bottom left.

Same - I've Experienced it, and the Experience moved me to find a better screen recorder. It was TERRIBLE.
They may get around to fixing this at some point, but I'll keep breathing until then.

I don't really care what my FPS are - it looks and feels smooth to me, and that's all I care about.
As for live-streaming... I'd rather not reveal my comings and goings to the rest of the world, beyond what I opt to record and share, especially when I discover something particularly profitable.

I also had a lot of problems with it (this POS even asks for an Account before even doing a thing). After the Windows 10 Anniversary Update the Xbox App became good enough for my needs.

It seemed to slow down my system. And having mutiple overlays running (Steam, Xbox und this aggressive NVIDIA-thing) is just asking for trouble in my opinion.

Seems to operate about the same as the old version for me. In fact it seemed that it was the same version just a different front end overlay.

Still doesn't record on secondary displays though :(

I'm using an external display with my laptop screen turned off. I don't know whether there is a certain sequence to go through but I somehow managed to record the game once. The rest of the attempts (about 8 times) have recorded the launcher. I'm using it Fullscreen. I'd like to revert to the old version but I would also like to make this work too.

Any pointers..? HAs anyone else experienced it recording the launcher instead of the game?

There are two very good reasons to not use GForce Experience 3.x:


  1. It is utter crap and does not work in too many scenarios
  2. Read the new privacy agreement. NVidia pretty much reserves the right to spy on you as they please. That is why you have to login with some kind of account. They will love you best if you use your facebook account, as that makes the datamined information about you more valuable (most people don't use fake facebook identities).

And yes, I moved back to 2.14 as well. ;)

Thanks for sharing this! I should have read this closer .. will downgrade tonight and look into this further tonight.

Looks like AMD will be my next brand card :)

Been having issues with v3 as well. Honestly can't stand it.

Half the time it doesn't record audio on my end. It also records the framerate counter, which is never used to do. On top of that, there seems to be no way to adjust your recording options anymore (ie: 1440p at 60 fps) and so on.

Haven't been this critical of an nVidia option since the TNT2.

Nobody likes Version 3. The near-universal consensus is that it's a privacy-murdering, broken, buggy mess, even on nVidia's own forum. If some kind, beautiful soul in the community could create a patch that reliably and safely stops V2.11.4 from forcibly-updating itself to V3, I'm sure we'd all be immeasurably grateful. :)

In work, so can't give exact details, but with v2 installed, go into the geforce folder on your drive, there should be a folder called update somewhere, rename the "update" executable inside said folder.
