Hey, would you guys be into making a video about how to use steamworks natively in the unreal engine? epic has never handled it very well and i'd like to learn how to use it. I'm sure there's a lot of indie devs who'd love a video like that, it has always been such an obscure topic.

@StBlueFire 18 күн бұрын

This would be great. We've done it a few times and there are always gotchas that we run into. Or even a native plugin that makes the nodes available in blueprints would be a big add if they wanted to go even farther.

Does the recording have any impact on game performance?

@SebHighDef 18 күн бұрын

not really if you do it through the gpu

@cupcaker 18 күн бұрын

@@SebHighDef maybe worth to mention if someone thinks this cant be true: video encoding runs on a separate chip on the gpu (or cpu) and thats why game performance should not be affected

@YuriSizov 18 күн бұрын

To add to what has been said already, disk I/O may be a bigger limiting factor than GPU/CPU. Usually background recorders like that have two ways of keeping your session recorded: on disk and in RAM. Not sure yet what Steam does and whether they offer it as an option, but obviously using disks for cache would be slower and a potential bottleneck. I would probably disable Shadowplay/AMD's thing if I was to use Steam's recorder - to avoid taxing your system double time.

Do we get VR-support as well? It would be nice if i can start a recording with a button combo on my index controller.

@pledger6197 18 күн бұрын

There are two modes: first one is "Record in background" which records last X minutes, so you can click some button and save this, or "Record on demand" where you must turn it manually. I think it functions like Nvidia's ShadowPlay where it records your screen, so I doubt that this currently works for VR that is not duplicated to the PC's screen, but I haven't tried it yet.

@sbalazstibor 18 күн бұрын

@@pledger6197 I tried it. I was able to record a 6min clip while playing HL:A. But i only able to start a recording on keyboard. So it's a bit finicky at the moment.

Is there any ways to access those recordings from code in the game? If someone has the feature enabled, I could use it to show replays of the highlights of the round while showing the score screen.

@gdot1803 18 күн бұрын

And Valve is giving all these features to Steam players for free, same with cloud saves, etc. They deserve the % cut they get because it goes towards making Steam the absolute best gaming platform.

@RealGamingSloth 18 күн бұрын

Well, not for free, for 30% cut (down to 25-20 for big successful projects), but the point is - everything is included and available for the developer to try out and integrate, you don't need to pay extra, request access, rent servers, be some big studio to be eligible, etc
