Download Fraps 2.9.7

Beepa released a new version of Fraps yesterday. This program can be used to show the number of frames per second for games that use Directx or Opengl. In addition, it is also possible to take screenshots and record short in-game movies. This can be useful if the game itself does not support this or has only poorly implemented this feature. Version 2.9.7 is a so-called maintenance release and the changelog mainly shows bug fixes:

Changes in version 2.9.7

• Fixed 64-bit applications crashing soon after loading
• Fixed low quality sound recording with Left 4 Dead under Windows XP
• Fixed graphic corruption in X-Plane (and other OpenGL titles)
• Fixed crash when recording a DirectX 9 game and changing resolution
• Fixed Fraps not detecting games after being run at Windows startup
• Fixed hotkeys not responding when Alt held down
• Fixed monitoring of Vista DWM after a full-screen application has exited
• Fixed Fluidmark displaying a blank screen with Fraps loaded
• Fixed FS9 crashing when menu activated while recording
• Fixed DWMAPI error on some Windows XP installs
• Improved recording speed of DirectX9 games in Vista SP1 and SP2 beta
• Added warning if no sound recording device found under Windows 2000 or XP
