ShadowPlay Issues in Team Fortress 2

Just an observation I wanted to share with others who play TF2 and have a recent nVidia card capable of utilising the ShadowPlay feature.

I had issues where the resolution of captured gameplya was being squashed from 1920 x 1080 to 1920 x 600 which would necessitate the use of video editing software to stretch it back out. Oddly, this problem hasn’t manifested in other games.

However, since the installation of my new video card I took the opportunity to use the optimised settings suggested by GeForce Experience for TF2. After putting these back to the settings suggested by TF2 itself the resolution is now reliably recording at 1728 x 1080. Not perfect as I am now missing 172 pixels in video width (about 1/11th of the total width). The suggested settings are denoted with an asterisk in the video graphics settings inside TF2.

I’ll have to see if reducing the video quality further ends up restoring the full 1920 x 1080 resolution but for the time being that is good enough.

If you give this a shot let me know how you go!
