Version 3.8.0: - Added full support for recording/streaming Microsoft Store/UWP apps (please make sure to remove any excluded UWP apps from Action!'s exclude list), - Fixed problems with recording 64-bit DirectX 9 applications
Version 3.7.1: - Added possibility to force custom MP4 video bitrate (select from 1 to 100Mbps in video settings), - Added recording start delay counter (available in general settings), - Added hotkeys for showing/hiding Browser Source overlays (in hotkeys settings)
Version 3.6.1: - HOT FIX: Recording microphone in audio recording mode has been fixed (mono sound was recorded instead of stereo), - Time-shift is now reset after closing application/game to which it was connected (this allows easy switching between applications)
Version 3.5.5: - Fixed auxilary audio recording (to separate file) when recording is started with time-shift running in the background, - Action! language translations are now stored in XML files for easy creation of new localizations (lang and lang_ex folders), - GUI improvements, - Stability fixes
Version 3.5.4: - IMPORTANT fix for systems with Nvidia SLI setup with no H.265/HEVC encoding support (NVENC was not used for encoding), - Fixed closing/crashing of some Windows Store Apps when Action! was running (UWP applications must be recorded in Active Screen mode from now on), - Automatic detection of UWP applications and excluding them from monitoring, - Fixed adding of excluded processes from restricted locations (like Windows Store Apps)
Version 3.5.3: - Fixed streaming with very low bitrate (under 0.8Mbps), - Fixed recording in software mode with bitrate above 60Mbps, - Fixed microphone/webcam hotkey when Ctrl/Shift or Alt is pressed
Version 3.5.2: IMPORTANT live streaming stability and video quality improvements for Intel/Nvidia/AMD GPUs
Version 3.5.0: - Big improvements in live streaming quality (strict-CBR, AMD AMF improvements and more...), - Selection between Variable and Constant framerate (with automatic fallback to VFR when performance is not good enough for CFR), - 120 and 144fps (HFR) MP4 recording (for slow motion purposes), - Support for 120 and 144fps playback in ActionPlayer, - Excluded processes list is now supported within Action! (Settings->General->Advanced settings group), - Fixes for the latest Windows 10 update
Version 3.4.0: - Large improvements in video recording performance (with vsync disabled), - Fixed problems with recording on systems that have virtual surround software installed (like Nahimic), - Improved high bitrate AVI recording on systems with hybrid hard disks (SSD + HDD). We still recommend normal HDD or SSD for high bitrate video recording, - Browser overlays now accept keyboard input (for example you can logon to YouTube to allow YouTube chat overlay), - Fixed Action! not working properly from certain disk locations, - Audio/Video desynchronization when streaming during high CPU usage has been fixed, - Fixed frame stuttering when recording video from Elgato/Hauppauge and other devices that capture MPEG-2 transport stream, - Fixed AVI freezing during high CPU usage, - Fixed webcam stuttering during high CPU usage
Version 3.3.0: - Added advanced Time-Shift settings (maximum swap-file size and location - this allows to offload SSD disk from continuous storage of time-shifted video data), - Time-Shift saving is now done in the background (not blocking), - Added recording webcam to a separate AVI video file (for video editing purposes). Available via Webcam Settings - Capture Mode, - Added Nvidia GPU selection that will be used to perform hardware acceleration (available via Hardware Acceleration Settings in main screen), - Fixed webcam/microphone showing/recording on button button down (in the On/Off mode), - Added automatic stretching of 1440x1080 video content to 1920x1080 (to remove black vertical bars), - Fixed Vulkan error message on some systems, - Fixed free disk space calculation
