Hello,

I’m experiencing a strange issue with the Steam recording feature, and this is the first time it has ever happened to me.

The problem occurs only once I am in actual gameplay, not in menus.

Here is what happens:

When I start a video recording from a game’s main menu, everything works normally.

However, as soon as I enter an operation or mission (in-game gameplay), the recording cannot be started again, and steam displays an error message ("Recording stopped following an error")

Even more confusing : when I press X to open the Steam Overlay right after the error, the interface still shows that a recording is active, even though it has actually failed.

I have now tested this with two different games to verify the behavior :

- Space Marine II : recording works in menus, fails as soon as I enter an Operation.

- Call of Duty: Black Ops III : recording works in menus, fails as soon as I enter Zombie mode.

So the issue appears consistently only during gameplay, regardless of the game tested.

Additional details after checking online suggestions :

- I am recording to an NVMe SSD
- I have 400 GB of free space
- I am not running Nvidia ShadowPlay or any other screen-recording software at the same time

It has always worked perfectly for me, so I’m having trouble understanding why it suddenly fails during gameplay.


My hardware and software configuration :
- OS : Windows 11 Home
- CPU : Ryzen 7 9700X
- GPU : Intel B580
- Ram : Crucial DDR5 6400Mhz
- Motherboard : Gigbayte X870I AORUS PRO ICE (Rev 1.0)

All the latest updates regarding the OS, Steam client, motherboard, CPU and GPU have been installed.

If you need any more information regarding my hardware or software configuration, please to let me know, I would gladly help you as much as I can.

Thank you in advance for your help.
