Hi everyone, I'm having issues with MSI Afterburner. I have been using the record function to record gameplay for a few years now, without any problems, but recently I'm plagued with a very annoying issue : the software tends to crash during loading screens without any warning. The little purple circle is still there, I can stop the current recording and start a new one, the MSI window is still there when I go back to desktop, but the last video that is saved is the one where it crashed, and it gets corrupted toward the end.

So if I record, let's say, three different videos of 3 hours each in one single session, with a crash in the fifth minute of the second video, I'll have two videos in the end, the first one which lasts 3 hours, and the second one that will last approximately 5 minutes. The crash only happens during a loading, especially if the computer "struggles" a bit. By that, I mean "if you can see even a 5 seconds freeze in a moving loading screen". The crash happens very frequently, at random. Sometimes, it won't happen during loading. Sometimes (very frequently), it will.

It never did that to me in the past, it's something that have been happening for a month or so, and I have no clue about what's causing it. I updated MSI Afterburner to the last version (4.0.0), and also tried a more ancient build, to no avail. Can someone help me ?

Nobody ?

I played one of the corrupted video to see if I could see anything interesting happening. I'm under the impression that just before it abruptly cuts, you can hear audio from the "working" parts of the video, like the very beginning. Does that help ?
