Hey All,

This game has the kill cams so the engine can do positional recording of the game world. So I was wondering if there is a console command that can have it record a demo and then play back a match.

For those who might respond, I am talking about just recording the game world data (player positions and aimed directions, physics objects, etc), NOT recording video. This is similar to Call of Duty BLOPS recorder or CS DEM files or Halo reach theater mode. No videos are recorded, just data of what happens and the game re-renders what happened.

I would like to record MP matches (or even SP if possible, but mainly MP) and then play them back so I can record with FRAPS. Using FRAPS during gameplay can impact FPS too much and make it harder to play due to frame rate dips.

Thanks!

FRAPS is not that bad in crysis 2. What computer do you have? I have a 5870, AMD965 4ghz, 4gb 1333 RAM. I play cysis with FRAPS on "full" and i lose maybe 10 frames at most.

i can't play using FRAPS either, there should be a record demo function :/

I have a 580GTX and i7 860 and 4GB of ram and a WD black caviar 1TB drive. My rig is fine, I get 45-60FPS while using FRAPS. The issue is, at the moment, I have Crysis 2, windows and the location of fraps videos all on one harddrive. Only RIGHT after defragging do I get smooth recording. Once the hard drive gets the slightest fragmented, FRAPS needs to jump over the fragments to keep recording which can cause random frame dips into the 5-10 FPS range. This can get you killed easily in multiplayer. (And defragging a 1TB hard drive that is about 65% full takes a LOOOOOOONG time, even though it does so weekly).

This could be pretty much resolved once I get another hard drive to record to that is dedicated to video recording. But I still would hope for a demo record mode to guarantee 60FPS at all times and still get the clips I want. Not to mention being able to save space and only recording what I want.

You can record with Xfire and not really lose any FPS. The only problem is if you record a full round in full screen and with sound the end file will be over 9gb
