Well, usually when i record my videos on il2 with FRAPS, it has about 30 FPS, which is pretty good, but now, for no reason, it goes right down to 1,then climbs to about 20 and stays there, I've changed game settings, Fraps' settings, and deleted 3 viruses with McAfee but nothing works. thanks in advance.

(If this is in the wrong topic, sorry but nothing else seemed to fit this issue)

Hi, Sean2323


Jinxx is correct.


Another possibility is RAM capacity and/or RAM utilization. Since you had 30 FPS in the past with Fraps, this means that your RAM capacity is adequate unless you changed your RAM.

In your case, a remote possibility is that your RAM utilization or available RAM has been filled. This can be filled in any of several ways. Temporary InterNet Files is one.

Temporary InterNet Files: Copies of webpages, images, and media that are saved for faster viewing.

Solution: Browser/Safety/Delete Browsing History/ Check Temporary InterNet Files

I had your exact same problem. After I did the above, the problem disappeared.

Since Fraps is media, your RAM might be a point of competition between FRAPS and your Temporary InterNet Files.



Another possibility is adding a feature in the FRAPS recording or selecting an FPS level that is higher than needed. I usually use 29.97 but never use higher than 30 FPS recording mode. Higher is more demanding.


I have personally experienced each of these with FRAPS that I mentioned here and I applied the appropriate fixes each time to solve them.
